Answer:

18

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the third term

= 55/5

= 11

The next step is to calculate the sun of last two terms

= sum of last three terms-third term

= 48-11

= 37

Therefore the sum of the first three terms can be calculated as follows

= 55-37

= 18

Hence the sum of the first three terms is 18

Suppose that each of the two firms has the independent choice of advertising its product or not advertising. If neither advertis
raketka [301]

Answer:

d. neither will advertise.

Explanation:

A game theory is used to analyse the choices of firms in an oligopoly.

A collusion is when two or more firms come together to make a decision usually concerning price.

If both firms advertise, the profit is less than when both firms don't advertise. Therefore, if both firms collude, they would agree not to advertise in order to maximise profits.

But the Nash equilibrium would be for each firm to advertise.

Nash equilibrium is the best strategy for a player in a game regardless of what the other player plays.

I hope my answer helps you.

The company that you manage has invested $5 million in developing a new product, but the development is not quite finished. At a
Elis [28]

Answer:

The company should be willing to invest the cost of $3 million to complete the development of the new product.

Explanation:

First, the correct completion of the question

If it would cost $3 million to finish development and make the product, should you go ahead and do so? What is the most that you should pay to complete the development?

Answer

To determine the cost: It is important to critically consider which costs are already sunk and which are still to come.

First, and foremost, $5 million already invested into the new product represents a sunk cost or a cost that has already been spent. This means that to stop the project or continue the project ,either options will still mean that $5 million has been spend already. It will not affect the future decision.

Therefore, if you decide to stop the production, the cost of the entire project of development is already $5 million

However, if you decide to continue the project

Sunk Cost = $5 million

Cost of continuation = $3 million (This is current relevant cost to consider against the sales).

Expected Sales of the finished product = $4,500,000

Therefore $4,500,000- $3,000,000= $1,500,000

If stopped, the loss to the company is $5 million

If continued, removing the sunk cost, the company can still make a profit of $1,500,000 of the cost of continuation.

The company should finish development and make the product.

Epsilon Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.80 Direct labor 24.80 Overhead 44.00 Tota
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Make since the relevant cost to make it is $62.20.

Explanation:

There is an option below the question ask for details

The computation of the total product cost is shown below:

= Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + Overhead cost per unit

where,

Overhead cost per unit would be

= Overhead cost per unit × remaining percentage

= $44 × 65%

= $28.6

All the other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $8.80 + $24.80 + $28.6

= $62.20

Since the given total product cost is more than the computed one so the company will choose make option and for decision making we take only 65% which is relevant
