Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible cho

ices, as it must decide whether or not to exit the industry immediately, at the end of this quarter, or at the end of the next quarter. If a firm chooses to exit then its payoff is 0 from that point onward. Each quarter that both firms operate yields each a loss equal to -1, and each quarter that a firm operates alone yields it a payoff of 2. For example, if firm 1 plans to exit at the end of this quarter while firm 2 plans to exit at the end of next quarter then the payoffs are 1,1) because both firms lose -1 in the first quarter and firm 2 gains 2 in the second. The payoff for each firm 1.

Answer:

a) attached below

b)  ( T,T )

c) The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

d) The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A) write down the game in matrix form

let: E = exit at the industry immediately

     T = exit at the end of the quarter

     N = exit at the end of the next quarter

matrix is attached below

B) weakly dominated strategies is ( T,T )

C) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria

The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

D ) Find the unique mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium

The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 ) since T is weakly dominated then the mixed strategy will be NE

Assume that P is the probability of firm 1 exiting immediately ( E )

and q is the probability of firm 1 staying till next term ( N ) ∴ q = 1 - P.

hence the expected utility of firm 2 choosing E = 0 while the expected utility of choosing N = 4p - 2q .

The expected utilities of E and N to firm 2 =

0 = 4p - 2q = 4p - 2 ( 1-p) = 6p -2 which means : p = 1/3 , q = 2/3

Answer pls<br> thank you
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

d = 5/6t

Step-by-step explanation:

5 stories every 6 seconds

at 12 seconds, it would have travelled 10 seconds.

using this 2 data in this formula

(y-y1)/(x-x1) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Note : d = y, t = x;

d1 = 5, t1 = 6, d2 = 10, t2 = 12

we have

(d - 5)/(t-6) = (10-5)/(12-6)

(d - 5)/(t-6) = 5/6

d = 5/6(t-6) + 5

d = 5/6t -5+5

d = 5/6t

Calculate the annual interest for a $10,000 Treasury bond with a current yield of 3% that is quoted at 106 points.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

$318

Step-by-step explanation:

The treasury bond is $10,000

The current yield is 3%

= 3/100

=0.03

It is quoted at 106 points

The first step is to calculate the price of the bond

Price of the bond= $10,000×106/100

= $10,000×1.06

= $10,600

Therefore the annual interest can be calculated as follows

Annual interest= $10,600×0.03

= $318

Hence the annual interest is $318

This is the third time I have asked this question. Someone please answer! Brainlist IF possible. Use the graph to write a linear
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Use the graph to write a linear function that relates y to x. The points lie on a line. Find the slope and y-intercept of the line. Because the line crosses the y-axis at (0, −3), the y-intercept is −3.w

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three standard forms for linear functions y = f(x):

f(x) = mx + b (The "slope-intercept" form),

y - yo = m(x - x0) or, equivalently, f(x) = y0 + m(x - x0) (The "point-slope" or "Taylor" form), and.

Ax + By = C (The "general form") which defines y implicitly as a function of x as long as B 0.
