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.

never [62]

Answer:

d. depreciation expense

Explanation:

The expenses which are paid by cash reduced the cash balance displayed in the balance sheet . Like interest to creditors, stockholders dividend, wages expenses, miscellaneous expenses, admin expenses, etc. These expenses can be paid either by cash or by bank account .

But the depreciation expense is a non - cash expense which reduces the fixed asset balance over the fixed asset useful life. Plus this is shown in the income statement on the debit side. Like this other examples would be goodwill impairment, amortization expenses, etc.

Machinery purchased for $69,600 by Tamarisk Co. in 2016 was originally estimated to have a life of 8 years with a salvage value
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

a. No journal entry is required

b. Depreciation expense $4,756  

          To Accumulated depreciation-Machinery $4,756

(Being depreciation expense is recorded)

Here the depreciation expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depreciation as it decreased the assets

Working

Accumulated depreciation is

= ($69,600 - $4,640 ÷ 8 × 5)

= $40,600

Now Revised depreciation is

= ($69,600 - $40,600 - $5,220) ÷ 5

= $4,756

Only one commercial bank in the banking system has an excess reserve, and its excess reserve is $400,000. This bank makes a new
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

money supply will increase by 2,400,000

Explanation:

the expansion f the money supply will be:

the money multiplier will be:

1/reserve ratio = 1/0.125 = 8

300,000 x 8 = 2,400,000

The reasoning for the multiplier effect is the following:

once the money is received, it will be used, and the person who receive the cash will deposit their proceeds.

This amount, can generate a new loan for, the remainder after subtracting the required reserve.

300,000 - 12.5% = 262,500

And this, once used will also end in a deposit. This opens the posibility for another loan, after reducing the reserve

262,500 - 12.5% = 229,687.5‬

This can be reapeat again and again and the limit for this is the formula state above:

multiplier effect = 1/reserve ratio

It announces that it plans to pay dividends of $1 per share exactly three years from now and $2 per share exactly four years fro
kkurt [141]

The Question is incomplete.

The complete question is as follows:

It announces that it plans to pay dividends of $1 per share exactly three years from now and $2 per share exactly four years from now. From year 5 onwards, dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 10% per year. The company pays no dividends in years one and two. The risk-free rate is 5%, the company's beta is 1.5 and the expected return on the market is 11%. Calculate the price of this stock today

Answer:

Price of stock =  $34.42

Explanation:

<em>The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.</em>

Required rate of return

Using the CAPM , the rate of return on equity can be determined as follows:

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)

E(r) =? , Rf- 5%, Rm- 11%, β- 1.5

Ke = 5% + 1.5× (11-5)%

   = 14%

Present value of Dividends(PV)

Year                                                      PV

3                       $1.00, × (1.14^(-3) =   0.6749

4                        $2.00× 1.14^(-4) =  1.18416

<em>5 and beyond</em>

<em>This will be done in two (2) steps as follows:</em>

PV in year 4 = (2 × 1.10) /(0.14-0.1) = 55

PV in year 0 = 55× 1.14^(-4) = 32.56

Price of stock

=  0.6749  +  1.18416 + 32.56

=  $34.423
