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.

Seventy new jobs are opening up at an automobile manufacturing plant, and 1000 applicants show up for the 70 positions. To selec
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

  • <em>As explained below, given that the score of the person is among the 0.03125 fraction of the best applicants, </em><u><em>he can count on getting one of the jobs.</em></u>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The hint is to use <em>Chebyshev’s Theorem.</em>

Chebyshev’s Theorem applies to any data set, even if it is not bell-shaped.

Chebyshev’s Theorem states that at least 1−1/k² of the data lie within k standard deviations of the mean.

For this sample you have:

  • mean: 60
  • standard deviation: 6
  • score: 84

The number of standard deviations that 84 is from the mean is:

  • k = (score - mean) / standar deviation
  • k = (84 - 60) / 6 = 24 / 6 = 4

Thus, the score of the person is 4 standard deviations above the mean.

How good is that?

Chebyshev’s Theorem states that at least 1−1/k² of the data lie within k standard deviations of the mean. For k = 4, that is:

  • 1 - 1/4² = 1 - 1/16 = 0.9375

  • That means that half of 1 - 0.9375 are above k = 4: 0.03125

  • Then, 1 - 0.03125 are below k = 4: 0.96875

Since there are 70 positions and 1,000 aplicants, 70/1,000 = 0.07. The compnay should select the best 0.07 of the applicants.

Given that the score of the person is among the 0.03125 upper fraction of the applicants, this person can count of geting one of the jobs.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.

Explanation:

As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.

Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.

There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.

Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.
