Suppose there are only two firms that sell smartphones: Flashfone and Pictech. The payoff matrix that follows shows the profit (

in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its phones. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfone prices low and Pictech prices high, Flashfone will earn a profit of $10 million and Pictech will earn a profit of $3 million. (Hint: Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfone and Pictech are both profit-maximizing firms.) Pictech High Price Low Price Flashfone High Price 8, 8 3, 10 Low Price 10, 3 5, 5 If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. If Pictech prices high, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Pictech prices low, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. Considering all of the information given, pricing highis not a dominant strategy for both Flashfone and Pictech. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game

Answer:

Flashfone and Pictech

The Nash equilibrium is achieved when Pictech and Flashfone price their smartphones high without the other party changing their strategy.  

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                Pictech  

                          High         Low

             High     8   8        3  10

Flashfone

             Low    10   3        5   5

b) By acting at the Nash equilibrium and pricing their smartphones high, Pictech and Flashfone achieve a payoff of $8 million respectively.  This payoff level does not put any of the two firms at a disadvantage.

​b) a student tests 100 students to determine whether other students on her campus prefer soda brand a or soda brand b and finds
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

B) The student did not make an error. The actual value is 0.50, which was not rejected.

Explanation:

First the student carried out a study which provided no evidence that the preference for brand A was not 0.5 or 50%, then the marketing company carried out a similar study and showed the same results. Since we are trying to determine if the student's research was well done, we must assume first that the marketing company did their research correctly.

If the student had rejected the claim of the marketing company, then she would have made a type I error (which didn't happen). If the student had wrongly accepted the claim from the marketing company (without any evidence of her own), then she would have made a type II error.

Since both studies provided the same conclusions, then we can assume that the student carried out her study in a proper and correct manner.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": An addition which increases future benefit.

Assets may be tangible, such as machinery and land or intangible, including products such as a trademark, a mechanical formula or property rights.

Rowena has a $150,000 homeowner's insurance policy with a $1,000 deductible on her house. Her premium payment is $100 per month.
Ulleksa [173]
I would say C. $2200 because she pays $100 per month for the insurance so $100 x 12 = $1200 so that is the cost per year for the premiums. If she has a $5000 claim and has a $1000 deductible then she will have to pay the first $1000 of the $5000 so $1000 + $1200= $2200.
