Answer: Extra Vacation ; Stay

Explanation:

<em>At the Nash equilibrium, Deloitte will choose </em><em><u>extra vacation</u></em><em> and Malik will respond with </em><em><u>stay</u></em><em>.</em>

A Nash Equilibrium is the optimal outcome for each player given the decisions of the other player.

Looking at the the sequential game tree, if Deloitte offered a Money Bonus, Malik would leave because it offers him a higher payout. Deloitte would not want this because they gain more when he stays.

If Malik is offered extra vacation however, Malik stands to gain more than every other option if he stays and Deloitte would therefore offer him this because it will still be a gain for them. This is the Nash equilibrium.

When the local grocery store puts cereal on sale, reducing its price from $4.40 per item to $3.40 per item, the quantity sold in
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

1. Price elasticity of demand

2 & 3. 4.55%

4 & 5. 22.73%

6. 0.2

8. 15.79%

9. 0.56  

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial quantity demanded = 220

New quantity demanded = 230

Initial price = $4.40

New price = $3.40

1. This illustrates the price elasticity of demand.  Price elasticity of demand is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to any change in the price of the commodity.

2 & 3. Percentage change in quantity demanded:

= [(New quantity demanded - Initial quantity demanded) ÷ Initial quantity demanded] × 100

= [(230 - 220) ÷ 220] × 100

= 0.04545 × 100

= 4.55%

4 & 5. Percentage change in price:

= [(New price - Initial price) ÷ Initial price] × 100

= [($3.40 - $4.40) ÷ $4.40] × 100

= 0.2273 × 100

= 22.73%

6. Price elasticity of demand for cereal:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= 4.55 ÷ 22.73

= 0.2

7. The price elasticity of demand is comes out to be 0.2 which is less than 1, indicates that quantity demanded is less responsive to changes in the price level.

8 & 9. Given that,

Initial quantity demanded = 210

New quantity demanded = 230

Initial price = $4.10

New price = $3.50

Using the mid point method,

Average price:

= (Initial price + New price ) ÷ 2

= ($4.10 + $3.50 ) ÷ 2

= $3.8

Percentage change in price:

= (New price - Initial price) ÷ Average price

= ($3.50 - $4.10) ÷ $3.8

= 0.1579 or 15.79%

Average quantity demanded:

= (Initial quantity demanded + New quantity demanded ) ÷ 2

= (210 + 230) ÷ 2

= 220

Percentage change in quantity demanded:

= (New quantity demanded - Initial quantity demanded) ÷ Average quantity demanded

= (230 - 210) ÷ 220

= 0.0909 or 9.09%

Price elasticity of demand:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= 9.09 ÷ 15.79

= 0.56

Your bond portfolio consists of $30 million worth of Treasury STRIPS with 7 years to maturity, and $10 million of Treasury notes
Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>d) Slightly greater than 4 years</em>

Explanation:

<em>The portfolio's Macaulay period (MaD) is the mean maturity of its retained earnings.</em>

Fifty per cent of cash flows (in terms of PV) come after three years and another fifty per cent arrive after five years, so the MaD is 0.53 + 0.55 = 4.

We must divide the MaD by (1+ytm/2) to get Modified Duration (MoD).

<em>Then portfolio MoD is </em><u><em>4/(1 + 0.02/2) = 3.96.</em></u>

Calculate the amount of interest on a $1,400 deposit at 4% interest for 5
Aneli [31]

Answer:

$280

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given question we have provided that :

  • \purple\star Principal = 1400
  • \purple\star Rate = 4%
  • \purple\star Time = 5 years

Here's the required formula to find the Simple Interest :

{\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{S.I= \dfrac{PRT}{100}}}}}

  • \purple\star S.I = Simple Interest
  • \purple\star P = Principal
  • \purple\star R = Rate
  • \purple\star T = Time

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the Simple Interest :

\begin{gathered}\qquad{\implies{\sf{S.I= \dfrac{PRT}{100}}}}\\\\\qquad{\implies{\sf{S.I= \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}}}}\\\\\qquad{\implies{\sf{S.I= \dfrac{1400 \times 4\times 5}{100}}}}\\\\\qquad{\implies{\sf{S.I= \dfrac{5600 \times 5}{100}}}}\\\\ \qquad{\implies{\sf{S.I= \dfrac{56 \:  \cancel{00}\times 5}{1 \: \cancel{00}}}}}\\\\\qquad{\implies{\sf{S.I= 56 \times 5}}} \\\\\qquad{\implies{\sf{S.I=  \$280}}}\\\\\qquad\star\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{S.I=  \$280}}}}\end{gathered}

Hence, the simple interest is $280.
