Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium
*Fill in the blanks please :) *
Suppose Paolo and Sharon are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Paolo chooses Right and Sharon chooses Right, Paolo will receive a payoff of 5 and Sharon will receive a payoff of 4.
The only dominant strategy in this game is for _________ to choose __________.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses __________ and Sharon chooses _______.

Matrix payoff:

                                              Sharon

                                  Left              Right

Paolo     Left              8,  3             4,   4

              Right           5,  3             5,   4

Answer:

The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.

The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.

Explanation:

a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is.  In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.

b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.

Bridges and Lloyd, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planning services. For many years, the firm's total administrative cost (currently $250,000) has been allocated to services on the basis of billable hours to clients. A recent analysis found that 65% of the firm's billable hours to clients resulted from tax planning services, while 35% resulted from consulting services. The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identified three components of administrative cost, as follows: Staff Support $ 180,000 In-house computing charges 50,000 Miscellaneous office costs 20,000 Total $ 250,000 A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation between the number of staff personnel and the number of clients served (consulting, 20; tax planning, 60). In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous office cost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number of client transactions, respectively. Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours and had 20% of the total client transactions. If Bridges and Lloyd switched from its current accounting method to an activity-based costing system, the amount of administrative cost chargeable to consulting services would:

Answers

Answer: Decrease by $23,500

Explanation:

The Consulting cost under their current accounting system is:

= 250,000 * 35%

= $87,500

Under Activity based:

Staff support for Consulting:

20 goes to Consulting, 60 to tax planning.

Total = 20 + 60 = 80

Consulting is 20/80 of Staff support amount

= 20/80 * 180,000

= $45,000

In house computing charges for Consulting

Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours.

= 30% * 50,000

= $15,000

Miscellaneous office costs

Consulting consumed 20% of total client transactions

= 20% * 20,000

= $4,000

Total cost for Consulting under Activity based = 45,000 + 15,000 + 4,000

= $64,000

Difference = 87,500 - 64,000

= $23,500

how to journalize this?

Answers

When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:

The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.

The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.

The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.

For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):

1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:

2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:

plz follow me

one thanks give me motivation for answering

plz mark me brainliest

Answer:

All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.

Explanation:

1.  The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation.  We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT

2.  Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash.  We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

3. Purchased a new truck for $8,500 cash.   We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Truck and decreasing the asset Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

4.  Purchased $500 in supplies on account.  We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Supplies and the liability Accounts Payable.  To increase an asset, we debit and to increase a liability, use credit.

5.  Paid $300 for supplies previously purchased.  Since we previously purchased the supplies and are not buying any new ones, we analyzed this to decrease the liability accounts payable and the asset cash.  To decrease a liability, use debit and to decrease and asset, use debit.

6.  Paid February and March Rent in advance for $1,800.  When we pay for an expense in advance, it is an asset.  We want to increase the asset Prepaid Rent and decrease Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

7.  Performed work for customers and received $50,000 cash.  We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset cash and increase the revenue Service Revenue.  To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.

8.  Performed work for customers and billed them $10,000.  We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset accounts receivable (since we have not gotten paid but will receive it later) and increase revenue.  To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.

9.  Received $5,000 from customers from work previously billed.  We analyzed this transaction to increase cash since we are receiving cash and we want to decrease accounts receivable since we are receiving money from customers who we billed previously and not new work we are doing.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for the month, thus owing you $5100. Today, when the repayment is due, he asked you to extend the loan for another month and he would pay you the $5100 next month. In the meantime, you have had the offer to invest as much as you wish in an oil-well venture that is expected to pay 40% per year and a hot new IT stock that is estimated to return 39% the first year. If you let your colleague have another month, what is the opportunity cost of your decision

Answers

Answer:

The opportunity cost of lending the money to the friend is the largest expected return that could be earned with the money loaned to the friend. From the available opportunity, the investor could earn maximum of 40% by investing in oil well venture. Thus, the opportunity cost to the investor is 40%

The opportunity cost in dollar = Investment * Opportunity cost in %

= $5,000 * 40%

= $2,000

Thus, the opportunity cost in dollar is $2,000

d. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 60%.
e. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 100%.

Answers

Answer:

a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%

Explanation:

Since Materials and Labor are added at the start of its production process, they will always be 100 % complete at the the end of the period as this mark is already passed. Overheads will be complete up to the extent of the work done in work in process that is 40%.

The Tinsley Company exchanged land that it had been holding for future plant expansion for a more suitable parcel located farther from residential areas. Tinsley carried the land at its original cost of $62,500. According to an independent appraisal, the land currently is worth $150,000. Tinsley paid $25,000 in cash to complete the transaction. Required: 1. What is the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance

Answers

Answer:

$175,000

Explanation:

When an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the accounting standard IAS 16 requires that the cost price of the item acquired be at fair Value of the asset given up.

Fair Value of Asset given up is $150,000.

However Tinsley has also paid a trade -in allowance for the new parcel of land of $25,000.

Therefore, the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance is $175,000 ($150,000 + $25,000)

b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $222,222 / (11% x 2) = $1,010,100

c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $333,333 / (11% x 3) = $1,010,100

Explanation:

Since the interest rate is simple, not compounded, the three perpetuities have the same present value.

Part c

Change in profit margin : The Profit Margin has fallen from 5% to 3.10 % in 2017 by 2.10% . The cause of this decline is a concern and must be investigated. The Profit margin rate measure the success with respect of earnings on sales thus more investigations must be done on what caused the earnings to decline in 2017.

Part 1

Cost of Goods Sold has increased by $28,000 ($1,015,000 -$987,000). Income tax rate has not changed.

a. Impact of the change on multi-step income statement

The items of Gross Profit and Income from Operations will decline by $28,000.

b. Impact of the change on profitability ratios

The Profit ratios will decline. Profit margin will be 1.73 %. Gross Profit margin will be 50.49 %

Explanation:

Multiple Step Income Statement shows separately the Operating Income and the Net Income. Operating Income being Income derived from Primary Activities of the Company whilst the Net Income includes the Secondary Activities of the Company such as Income taxes or Sale of assets.

Other Workings :

Profit margin = Net Income / Net Sales x 100

                     =  $63,500 / $2,050,000 x 100

                     =  3.10 %

Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit / Net Sales x 100

                           = $1,063,000 / $2,050,000 x 100

                           =51.85 %

An entrepreneur recently purchased Cocoon's, a local deli, on the beach. To operate the business, she estimates that selling and administrative expenses will be $98,510.00 per year and that depreciation will be $20,000.00 per year. As part of her purchase, she took out a bank loan that will require $76,265.00 per year in interest. She anticipates paying a 32.00% tax rate on income. She estimates that the deli will attract 200.00 customers per day. Each customer will spend $12.00 on average. The cost of goods per customer will be $4.50. She will operate the deli 350.00 days per year. What is the projected net profit margin for the deli

Answers

Answer:

27%

Explanation:

The computation of the net profit margin is shown below;

As we know that

net profit margin = Net profit ÷ sales

where

net profit is

Particulars                                                                 Amount

Sales (200 customers × $12 × 350 days) $840,000

Less: cost of goods sold (200 customers × $4.50 × 350 days) -$315,000

Gross profit $525,000

Less:

Selling and admin expense -$98,510

Depreciation expense - $20,000

Bank loan interest -$76,265

Net income before tax $330,225

Less tax at 32% -$105,672

Net income after tax $224,553

Now the net profit margin is

= $224,553 ÷ $840,000

= 27%

postretirement health care benefit plan. On January 1 of the current calendar year, the following plan-related data were available. Net loss-postretirement benefit plan $ 222,000 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ 2,100,000 Fair value of plan assets $ 440,000 Average remaining service period to retirement 12 years Average remaining service period to full eligibility 10 years The rate of return on plan assets during the year was 12%. The expected return was 10%. The actuary revised assumptions regarding the APBO at the end of the year, resulting in a $32,000 increase in the estimate of the obligation. Required: 1. Calculate any amortization of net loss that should be included as a component of postretirement benefit expense for the current year. 2. Determine the net loss or gain as of December 31 of the current year.

Answers

Answer:

1. Amortization of net loss = $1000

2. Ending Net Loss:  $244,200

Explanation:

Data Given:

Net Loss Post Retirement Benefit Plan = $222,000

Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000

Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000

Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years

Average Remaining Service period to full eligibility = 10 years

Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%

Expected Return = 10%

Estimate in the obligation = $32,000

Required:

1. Amortization of net loss

Solution:

For Amortization of net loss, we need to have the value of excess at the beginning of the year and average remaining service years.

So,

Net loss = $222,000

And

Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000

Expected Return = 10%

So,

Find 10% of the Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation  

$2,100,000 x 10%  = $210,000

Now, for excess at the beginning of the year:

$222,000 - $210,000

excess at the beginning of the year = $12,000

And we know that,

Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years

Amortization of net loss =  $12,000/12 years

Amortization of net loss = $1000

2. Net loss or gain at the end of the year.

Solution:

We know the beginning net loss = $222,000

Estimate in the obligation = $32,000

Now, we need to find the excess actual return over expected return:

Amortization of net loss = $1000

Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000

Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%

Expected Return = 10%

excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (12%  - 10%)

excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (2%)

excess actual return over expected return: $8,800

Now,

For the Ending Net Loss:

(beginning net loss + Estimate in the obligation - excess actual return over expected return - Amortization of net loss)

$222,000 + $32,000 -$8,800 - $1000 = $244,200

Ending Net Loss:  $244,200

Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result, they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?

Answers

Answer:

It will decrease prior service cost and, as prior service cost is amortized, will decrease pension expense.

Explanation:

In the given if there is any change in the projected benefit obligation so the pension expense would impact in the present and future period by reducing the service cost that incurred before also the service cost that incurred before would be amortized that ultimately reduce the pension expense

Universal Manufacturing uses a weighted-average process-costing system. All materials are introduced at the start of manufacturing, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. The company's beginning and ending work-in-process inventories totaled 10,000 units and 15,000 units, respectively, with the latter units being 2/3 complete at the end of the period. Universal started 30,000 units into production and completed 25,000 units. Manufacturing costs follow.
Beginning work in process: Materials, $60,000; conversion cost, $150,000
Current costs: Materials, $180,000; conversion cost, $480,000
Universal's equivalent-unit cost for conversion cost is:____.
a. $4.50.
b. $6.00.
c. $8.00.
d. $9.60.
e. some other amount.

Answers

Answer: b. $6.00

Explanation:

Equivalent Cost Per Unit = Total Material Cost/Materials Equivalent Units

Materials Equivalent Units

= Opening inventory + Units completed + Ending inventory

= 10,000 + 25,000 + 5,000

= 40,000 units

Equivalent cost per unit = (Beginning WIP Materials + Current costs) / Materials EUP

= (60,000 + 180,000) / 40,000

= $6.00

Note: Ending materials inventory = Units started - Units completed

Consider the following yields to maturity on various one-year zero-coupon securities: Security: Treasury AAA Corporate BBB Corporate B Corporate Yield (%): 4.6 4.8 5.6 6.2 The price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of a one-year, zero-coupon, corporate bond with a BBB rating is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

94.70%

Explanation:

The computation of the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is given below:

= Price ÷ Face value × 100

= (Face value ÷ (1 + YTM)) ÷ Face value × 100

= ($1,000 ÷ (1 + 5.6%)) ÷ ($1,000) × 100

= $946.97 ÷ $1,000 × 100

= 94.70%

Hence, the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is 94.70%

Here we assume the face value be $1,000

England and Scotland both produce scones and sweaters. Suppose that an English worker can produce 50 scones per hour or 1 sweater per hour. Suppose that a Scottish worker can produce 40 scones per hour or 2 sweaters per hour.

a. England exports scones, Scotland exports sweaters.
b. England exports sweaters, Scotland exports scones.
c. both countries export scones.
d. given the production possibilities, both countries will not benefit from trade.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The country with a comparative advantage in the production of a good should export the good

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

England

Comparative advantage in the production of scones = 1/50 = 0.02

Comparative advantage in the production of sweater = 50/1 = 50

Scotland

Comparative advantage in the production of scones = 2/40 =  0.05

Comparative advantage in the production of sweater = 40/2 = 20

England has a comparative advantage in the production of scones and should export scones

Scotland  has a comparative advantage in the production of sweaters and should export sweaters

5          $200,000                $228,836.80     $28,837.00   $2,000,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

10% Bonds' maturity value = $2,000,000

Bonds sales value = $1,855,816

Total discount = $144,184

Annual Interest = $200,000 ($2,000,000 * 10%)

Maturity period = 5 years (January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025)

Annual amortization of discount = $28,836.80 ($144,184/5)

Total interest cost with amortized discount each year = $228,836.80

b) Under the straight line method, the premium or discount on the bond is amortized in equal amounts over the life of the bond, as demonstrated above.

Based on the information given, it should be noted that the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses will be  $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

Interest expense

From the information given, the following can be calculated:

Discount on issue = $2000000 - $1855816 = $144184

Discount to be amortized on each interest date = $144184 / 5 = $28836.80

Cash interest annual = $2000000 * 10% = $200000

Therefore, the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses from 2020 to 2025 will be  $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.

It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;

✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

✓There is a lack of standardization.

✓There is difficulty in accumulating

9. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 87,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 87,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $108 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 87,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units?

Answers

Answer: Financial disadvantage of -$‭863,000‬

Explanation:

If they made the 87 thousand units themselves, they would incur a cost of:

= 87,000 * (Direct labor + Direct materials + Variable manufacturing overhead) +  Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead

= 87,000 * (23 + 24 + 22) + (23 * 110,000)

= 87,000 * 69 + ‭2,530,000‬

= $‭‭‭8,533,000‬

Traceable fixed costs are based on the total capacity of 110,000 units being produced and so will not change.

If they buy from the supplier, the cost would be:

= 108 * 87,000

= $‭9,396,000‬

Financial advantage (disadvantage) = ‭‭8,533,000‬‬ - ‭9,396,000‬

= -$‭863,000‬

In 1963, an investor opened a savings account with $LaTeX: \text{K} K earning simple interest at annual rate of LaTeX: 2.5\% 2.5 % . Four years later, the investor closed the account and invested the accumulated amount in a savings account earning LaTeX: 5\% 5 % compound interest. Determine the number of years (since 1963) necessary for the balance to reach $LaTeX: 3K 3 K .

Answers

Answer:

The number of years necessary for the balance to turn from K to 3K (since 1963) in the given situation = 24.5636 years rounded off to 25 years

Explanation:

The simple interest earned is at the rate of 2.5%. The formula for simple interest per year is,

Simple interest per year = Investment * interest rate

Simple interest per year = 1K * 2.5%  => $0.025K

Simple interest for 4 years = 0.025 * 4 = $0.1K

So, total investment at the after 4 years = 1K + 0.1K = $1.1K

The formula for future value of a sum of amount will be used to calculate the value of investment at a future date. The formula is as follows,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

r is the interest rate or rate of returnt is the time period

So, accumulated earnings ($1.1K) are invested at 5% compound interest. The value of t necessary for 1.1K to turn into 3K can be found as follows,

3 = 1.1 * (1.05)^t

3 / 1.1 = 1.05^t

2.727272727 = 1.05^t

ln(2.727272727) / ln(1.05) = t

t = 20.5636 years rounded off to 21 years

The number of years necessary for the balance to turn from K to 3K in the given situation = 4 + 20.5636 = 24.5636 rounded off to 25 years

are capital markets also organisational markets?​

Answers

Answer:A capital market is a financial market in which long-term debt (over a year) or equity-backed securities are bought and sold.[6] Capital markets channel the wealth of savers to those who can put it to long-term productive use, such as companies or governments making long-term investments.[a] Financial regulators like Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Bank of England (BoE) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversee capital markets to protect investors against fraud, among other duties.

Modern capital markets are almost invariably hosted on computer-based electronic trading platforms; most can be accessed only by entities within the financial sector or the treasury departments of governments and corporations, but some can be accessed directly by the public. As an example, in the United States, any American citizen with an internet connection can create an account with TreasuryDirect and use it to buy bonds in the primary market, though sales to individuals form only a tiny fraction of the total volume of bonds sold. Various private companies provide browser-based platforms that allow individuals to buy shares and sometimes even bonds in the secondary markets. There are many thousands of such systems, most serving only small parts of the overall capital markets. Entities hosting the systems include stock exchanges, investment banks, and government departments. Physically, the systems are hosted all over the world, though they tend to be concentrated in financial centres like London, New York, and Hong Kong.
