Game Theory and Strategic Choices -- End of Chapter Problem You have developed a new computer operating system and are consideri

ng whether you should enter the market and compete with Microsoft. Microsoft has the option of offering their operating system for a high price or a low price. Once Microsoft selects a price, you will decide whether you want to enter the market or not enter the market. If Microsoft charges a high price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $30 million and you will earn $10 million. If Microsoft charges a high price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $60 million and you will earn $0. If Microsoft charges a low price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $20 million and you will lose $5 million. If Microsoft charges a low price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $50 million and you will earn $0. Construct a payoff table and find the Nash equilibrium if you and Microsoft both make your decisions simultaneously.

Answer:

Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .

Explanation:

The Nash equilibrium

                                                          <u>  You </u>

<u>                                                 enter                     Don't enter</u>

Microsoft  high price          ( $30 , $10 )              ( $60 , $0 )

Microsoft  low price            ( $20, -$5 )               ( $50, $0 )

From the Nash equilibrium the best time for you to enter the market is when Microsoft Charges a high price

While the best time for Microsoft is when it charges a high price and you do not enter the market

But considering Simultaneous Move game : Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .

Sue plans to mix peppermints worth $1.20 per lb with chocolates worth $2.40 per lb to get a 40 lb mix that is worth $1.65 per lb
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying  (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48  (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting  (Eq. 2) from  (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

<u>Check</u>

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66

klemol [59]

Answer:

The answer is given below;

Explanation:

Days sales in inventory-2017= Average Inventory/Cost of goods sold*365

                                =(115,000+85,000)/2/(458,674)/365

                                =(100,000/458,674)*365

                                =80 days

Days sales inventory 2016= (85,000+56,000)/2/(385,686)*365

                                            =(70,500/385,686)*365

                                             =67 days

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$1,575

Explanation:

We will clasify the item "revenue" or "not":

  1. Received $1,050 cash for services provided to a customer during July -> yes, this is revenue
  2. Received $5,000 cash investment from Bob Johnson :  not revenue
  3. the owner of the business Received $900 from a customer in partial payment of his account receivable which arose from sales in June: not revenue for July, but June which was booked in June revenue already
  4. Provided services to a customer on credit, $525: yes, this is July revenue though it's still on account receivable
  5. Borrowed $7,500 from the bank by signing a promissory note: not revenue
  6. Received $1,400 cash from a customer for services to be rendered next year: not July revenue, it's customer advace and might be next year revenue once services are completed

So the amount of revenue for July = Received $1,050 cash for services provided to a customer during July + Provided services to a customer on credit, $525

= $1,050 +$525

=  $1,575
