Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
In project and production management, bottleneck is referred to as one of the process under chain of processes, so that reduced limited capacity tends to reduce capacity of whole chain. The result or outcome of having the bottleneck is the stalls in supply overstock, production, pressure from consumers and also the low employee morale.
These are the factors by how it shifts the current demand curve to a new position:
Shifts left
- 2% rebate on a Toyota Camry, a substitute good
- Big sale coming in three months
Shifts right
- Free brake inspections
- Consumers' income increases by 10%
Answer:
a. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize?
this is an ordinary annuity:
annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65
number of periods = 19 periods
interest rate = 8%
therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036
the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638
b. Enhance Reinsurance Company was reported to have offered S4.2 million. Use Excel to find the return that the company was looking for.
using the IRR function in Excel, the return that Enhance was looking for was 9.05%
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
The concept of "Nash equilibrium" is been by economist and also by "gamers" in game theory. Nash equilibrium is so good for making decisions and the determination of strategies.
In playing this game, the players or participants can use the pure strategy or the mixed strategy. The mixed strategy is the use of different strategies randomly.
"If a player chooses a mixed strategy in a Nash equilibrium, this implies that the payoff from using that mixed strategy is the same as the payoff from using any of the pure strategies in it".
The statement given above is FALSE because the PAYOFF WILL INCREASE IF WE ARE TO PLAY A MIXED STRATEGY.
For instance if we have a head of 1 and -1, and a tail of -1 and 1, the payoff for pure strategy is likely one or minus one but for a mixed strategy it could be zero.
Answer:
c. percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded.
Explanation:
A price elasticity of demand can be defined as a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a product demanded with respect to a change in price of the product, all things being equal.
The price-elasticity of demand coefficient, Ed, is measured in terms of percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded.
The demand for goods is said to be elastic, when the quantity of goods demanded by consumers with respect to change in price is very large. Thus, the more easily a consumer can switch to a substitute product in relation to change in price, the greater the elasticity of demand.
Generally, consumers would like to be buy a product as its price falls or become inexpensive.
For substitute products (goods), the price elasticity of demand is always positive because the demand of a product increases when the price of its close substitute (alternative) increases.
If the price elasticity of demand for a product equals 1, as its price rises the total revenue does not change because the demand is unit elastic.
