Game Theory and Strategic Choices -- End of Chapter Problem You have developed a new computer operating system and are considering 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.
In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will and you will:___________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:

The Nash equilibrium

                                                           You

                                                enter                     Don't enter

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 .

Answer 2

Here is the payoff table:

                Enter          Don't enter  

High          30, 10         60,0

Low           20, -5        50, 0

In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will charge a high price and you will enter the market.

Game theory studies how participants in a competitive market make the best choice for themselves.  

Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for participants in a competitive market where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

If I enter the market, I can either earn $10 million or lose $5 million. If I don't enter the market, I would earn nothing. The best strategy for me is to enter the market because $5 million is greater than 0.

If Microsoft charges a high price, it can either earn $30 million or $60 million. If the firm charges a low price, it would earn either $20 or $50 million. The best strategy is to charge a high price.

Answers

Answer: a. 2

b. $200

c. Should not

Explanation:

a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.

This will be:

= 5 - 3

= 2 moving jobs

b. The value of that marginal product is ______..

Since the company charges $100 for a moving job, the value of the marginal product will be:

= 2 × $100

= $200

c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker

Marginal cost of moving 2 jobs will be:

= $30 × 4 × 2

= $240

Since the marginal cost is more than the marginal product, the company should not hire another worker.

Suppose you trade dollars and euros for a bank that has branches in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. You can electronically transfer the funds between the two branch locations at no cost, and trading commissions are negligible. The current dollar-per-euro exchange rate in Los Angeles is E$/EURLA=1.5653 , while in Frankfurt, it is E$/EURFR=1.586.

You can make a profit for the bank if you buy euros in _______ and sell them in _________.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Profit will be made by you for the bank if you buy the Euros in Los Angeles, and sell the Euros to customers in Frankfurt...

Buying in Los Angeles comes at a price of $1 = €1.5653, then going ahead to sell in Frankfurt means you get to sell it at a rate of $1 = €1.586

Although this is a very tiny difference, of 0.0207. The reality is that when you're doing a lot of tradings that involves currency, you tend to see the profit. If for example, a total of $1 million is traded, then the profit would be $20700, which we all can attest to the fact that it's a lot of money.

Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.

(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.

(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.

Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?

Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.

Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.

(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?

Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.

The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.

(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?

No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.

This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.

C) Benny is a state employee and must file his claim pursuant to the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act.
D) Benny does not have a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA as he was replaced by an employee who is older than 30.

Answers

Answer: B. Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.

Wesley, who is single, listed his personal residence with a real estate agent on March 3 of the current year at a price of $390,000. He rejected several offers in the $350,000 range during the summer. Finally, on August 16, he and the purchaser signed a contract to sell for $363,000. The sale (i.e., closing) took place on September 7. The closing statement showed the following disbursements:

Real estate agent's commission $21,780
Appraisal fee 600
Exterminator's certificate 300
Recording fees 800
Mortgage to First Bank 305,000

c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is _____________, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is __________

Answers

Answer:

a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.

b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000

c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.

Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.

Explanation:

Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.

If the selling price is $800,000;

Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520

When a company uses a
allocation rate there is only one base for allocating all overhead costs to products or other cost objects.

Answers

Answer:

company-wide

Explanation:

Using a single company-wide allocation rate implies that only one cost driver (or cost base) is used to allocate all the overhead costs to the product units, batches, departments, or divisions, and other cost objects.  This single rate is the plant-wide or company-wide allocation rate.  It is opposed to the use of multiple allocation rates, where different rates are calculated and used to allocate overhead costs from different cool pools to the units or activities consuming the services.  The company-wide allocation rate is typical with traditional costing method, while the multiple allocation rates are used with ABC costing method.

A college uses advisors who work with all students in all divisions of the college.

Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?

According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.

Answers

Answer:

No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.

Explanation:

Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%

Expected return can be calculated by :

E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)

E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)

E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%

E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)

Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:

Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491

Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

In November month:

Estimated defective units:

= Estimated Percentage  to be defective units × Units sold

= 4% × 37,300

= 1,492

The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is  

= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit

=  1,492 × $20

= $29,840

In December month:

Estimated defective units:

= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold

= 4% × 39,300

= 1,572

The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:

= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit

=  1,572 × $20

= $31,440

Now the Total estimated liability is  

= $29,840 + $31,440

= $61,280

The Journal entries are as follows:

(a) Warranty expenses A/c   Dr. $61,280  

       To Estimated warranty payable                $61,280

(Being warranty expense is recorded)

Estimated warranty payable A/c    Dr. $24,740

          To Cash/ Material consume                                     $24,740

(being cash paid is recorded)

(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280

a. 16%
b. 18%
c. 24%
d. 22%

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

w represents the weight of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively r represents the cost of each componentrD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt

WACC = 0.2 * 0.16   +   0.8 * 0.185

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Answers

Answer:

Percentage Return = 0.13936651584  or  13.936651584%  rounded off to 13.94%

Explanation:

To calculate the return percentage, we need to take the total return provided by the share in form of both dividends and capital gains. The total yield or return for the holding period can be calculated as follows,

Percentage Return = [Dividend + P1 - P0] / P0

Where,

P1 is price todayP0 is the purchase price

Percentage Return = [0.45 + 62.50 - 55.25] / 55.25

Percentage Return = 0.13936651584  or  13.936651584%  rounded off to 13.94%

Answers

Answer:

There are no options included so I will give the answers as beat I can based on economic knowledge.

FISCAL policy is designed to shift the aggregate DEMAND curve by the federal government changing its SPENDING and TAXATION policies.

The government can influence the economy through fiscal policy. It does this by changing its taxation and spending policies to either increase economic growth or reduce overheating.

An EXPANSIONARY fiscal policy would attempt to speed up the economy by shifting this curve to the RIGHT. This would be accomplished by the government spending MORE than it took received in taxes. Such a policy would result in a budgetary DEFICIT .

With an expansionary policy, the government would increase it's spending such that it would be more than the taxation imposed. With the government spending more than they brought it from taxes, a budget deficit will result.

Such a policy would be employed to get the economy out of a RECESSION and fight the undesirable economic phenomenon of UNEMPLOYMENT.

When the economy is going through a recession, the economy will be facing a decline so in order to renew growth, the government would spend more to bring it out of a decline and therefore prevent or reduce unemployment.

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $26.10 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2017. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2021 (before adjusting and closing entries.

Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2013 to reflect the revised estimate.

Answers

Answer:

Original Cost = $26.10

Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years

Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $14.5 million

Remaining Life = 6 - 4

Remaining Life = 2 Years

New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life

New Amortization =  $14.5/2

New Amortization = $7.25 million

                    Journal Entry

Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million

      Patent Credit -  $7.25 million

Southern Atlantic Distributors began operations in January 2021 and purchased a delivery truck for $40,000. Southern Atlantic plans to use straight-line depreciation over a four-year expected useful life for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, the deduction is 45% of cost in 2021, 30% in 2022, and 25% in 2023. Pretax accounting income for 2021 was $460,000, which includes interest revenue of $68,000 from municipal governmental bonds. The enacted tax rate is 25%.
Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above:
Required:
1. Complete the following table given below and prepare the journal entry to record income taxes in 2021.
2. What is Southern Atlantic’s 2021 net income?

Answers

Answer:

1. Depreciation as per books = Cost of purchase/Useful life

Depreciation as per books = $40,000/4

Depreciation as per books = $10,000

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = Cost of purchase * Deduction rate

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $40,000 * 45%

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $18,000

Temporary difference = $18,000 - $10,000

A company reports the following: Sales $3,150,000 Average accounts receivable (net) 210,000 Determine (a) the accounts receivable turnover and (b) the number of days' sales in receivables. Round interim calculations to the nearest dollar and final answers to one decimal place. Assume a 365-day year. a. Accounts receivable turnover fill in the blank 1 b. Number of days' sales in receivables

Answers

Answer:

a. Account Receivables turnover = Sales / Average Account Receivables

Account Receivables turnover = $3,150,000 / $210,000

Account Receivables turnover = 15

Number of days sales in receivables = 365 days / 15

Number of days sales in receivables = 24.33 days

Andy derives utility from two goods, potato chips (Qp) and Cola (Qc). Andy receives zero utility unless he consumes some of at least one good. The marginal utility that he receives from the two goods is given as follows:
Qp MUp Qc MUc
1 12 1 24
2 10 2 22
3 8 3 20
4 6 4 18
5 4 5 16
6 2 6 14
7 -2 7 12
8 4 8 10
Refer to Scenario, what is the total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc)?

Answers

Answer:

TU = 40

Explanation:

Total utility is the sum of marginal utility obtained by consuming different units of the good. So at 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and 0 units of Cola drink (Qc) , we can find total utility by adding marginal utility till 5th unit of Qp.

[tex]Total utility = 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 \\ = 40[/tex]

Thus, total utility from 5 units of potato chips and no cola is 40 utils.

The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.

The calculation is as follows:

= 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4

= 40 utils

Therefore we can conclude that The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.

Locomotive Corporation is planning to repurchase part of its common stock by issuing corporate debt. As a result, the firm’s debt–equity ratio is expected to rise from 30 percent to 50 percent. The firm currently has $3.3 million worth of debt outstanding. The cost of this debt is 9 percent per year. Locomotive expects to have an EBIT of $1.32 million per year in perpetuity. Locomotive pays no taxes.
a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?
b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?
c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?
d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. What is the market value of Locomotive Corporation before and after the repurchase announcement?

Equity value = Debt value / Debt to equity ratio

= 3,300,000/0.3

= 11,000,000

Market value = Debt value + Equity value

= $3,300,000 + $11,000,000

= $14,300,000

b. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?

To solve this, we need to know the interest payment first which will be:

= $3,300,000 × 9%

= $3,300,000 × 0.09

= $297000

Return on equity will now be:

= (EBIT - interest) / Equity

= (1320000 - 297000) / 11000000

= 9.30%

c. What is the expected return on the equity of an otherwise identical all-equity firm?

This will be:

= Earnings before Interest / Unlevered firm value

= 1320000 / 14300000

= 9.23%

d. What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?

This will be:

= 9.23% + 50% × (9.23% - 9%)

= 9.35%
