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:___________
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 .
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.

These cash inflows have an initial investment of $7,139,000. At what discount rate would this present value be the same as the initial investment
Answer:
The discount rate of 8% for 11 year period provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to the initial investment.
Explanation:
Using the table of present value of annuity provided, we can check the rate and time period which is return the present value of cash flows from the project to be equal to initial Investment.
We are told that the Project's life is expected to be 11 Years. Thus using the 11 year period from the table we can see the following rates,
11 Year Period
Rate = 5% , Annuity Factor = 8.3064
Rate = 6% , Annuity Factor = 7.8869
Rate = 7% , Annuity Factor = 7.4987
Rate = 8% , Annuity Factor = 7.1390
Rate = 9% , Annuity Factor = 6.8052
We know that the annual cash flows from the project is $1,000,000 and we know the Initial Outlay is $7,139,000.
Multiplying the annual cash flow from the above annuity factors for each rate we can see which rate provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to initial outlay.
Rate = 5% , Present value = 8.3064 * 1000000 = $8,306,400
Rate = 6% , Annuity Factor = 7.8869 * 1000000 = $7,886,900
Rate = 7% , Annuity Factor = 7.4987 * 1000000 = $7,498,700
Rate = 8% , Annuity Factor = 7.1390 * 1000000 = $7,139,000
Rate = 9% , Annuity Factor = 6.8052 * 1000000 = $6,805,200
From the above calculation we can see that the rate of 8% provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to the initial investment.
Distribution of Cash Upon Liquidation Hewitt and Patel are partners, sharing gains and losses equally. They decide to terminate their partnership. Prior to realization, their capital balances are $28,000 and $18,000, respectively. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $35,000. a. What is the amount of a gain or loss on realization
Answer: Loss of $11,000
Explanation:
Total Capital balance is:
= 18,000 + 28,000
= $46,000
Gain on realization = Cash balance - Capital balance
= 35,000 - 46,000
= -$11,000
This is therefore a loss because the cash available cannot cover the capital amount.

Answer:
Product C and J only should processed further.
Explanation:
A project from a joint process should be processed further if additional sales revenue from further processing exceeds further processing cost.
So we will compare the net income i.e additional sales revenue minus sales further processing cost less for the three products as follows:
Net income
Product C : (100,000-75,000)-20,000 = $5,000
Product J: (115,000-70,000)-36,000= $9,000
Product R: (55,000-46,500) - 10,000=$(1,500)
Product C and J only should processed further.
In 1999, the Federal Trade Commission allowed Exxon and Mobil to merge. At the time, Exxon and Mobil were the top two firms in their industry, and their merger created the largest corporation in the world. To allow the merger, Exxon and Mobil agreed to sell 2,431 gas stations. Of these, 1,740 were in the mid-Atlantic states, 360 were in California, 319 were in Texas, and 12 were in Guam.
Why would the U.S. government require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur?
a. Because these geographic regions had too many gas stations.
b. To protect consumers from inappropriate price decreases.
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
d. To ensure that Exxon-Mobil would earn fair profits in these geographic areas.
Answer:
1999 Merger of Exxon and Mobil
The reason that made the U.S. government to require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur is:
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
Explanation:
The agreement to sell so many gas stations in localized parts of the country was to forestall antitrust lawsuits. It was also made to protect consumers from unwarranted price increases, allowing more competition in the affected areas, where ExxonMobil owed too many gas stations.
The reason why the US would require these two companies to divest themselves is because to ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
The answer to this question is option c. Sometimes when two companies merge into one, they could become too powerful. When this is the case, they may end up driving out all their competitors from the market.
At this point, a monopoly may arise from the companies. When a monopoly arises, they would be able to set the price to any amount that they want. This divest option by the government was to ensure the protection of consumers from a situation of price hikes.

w.1. Prepaid Insurance $16,824. The company has separate insurance policies on its buildings and its motor vehicles. Policy B4564 on the building was purchased on July 1, 2021, for $10,080. The policy has a term of 3 years. Policy A2958 on the vehicles was purchased on January 1, 2022, for $8,424. This policy has a term of 18 months.
Expired insurance Policy B4564 adjustment = $10,080 / 3 = $3,360
Expired insurance Policy A2958 adjustment = ($8,424 /18 months) * 12 months = $5,616
Total insurance expense = Expired insurance Policy B4564 adjustment + Expired insurance Policy A2958 adjustment = $3,360 + $5,616 = $8,976
w.2. Unearned Rent Revenue $314,240. The company began subleasing office space in its new building on November 1. At December 31, the company had the following rental contracts that are paid in full for the entire term of the lease.
Earned revenue = Monthly rent * Accrued month * Number of lease
Therefore, we have:
Total earned revenue = ($5,380 * 2 * 5) + ($8,120 * 1 * 4) = $86,280
w.3. Notes Payable $46,800. This balance consists of a note for 6 months at an annual interest rate of 7%, dated October 1.
Interest expense on note payable = Principal * Rate * Time = $46,800 * 7% * (3 / 12) = $819
w.4. Salaries and Wages Payable $0. There are 11 salaried employees. Salaries are paid every Friday for the current week. 5 employees receive a salary of $635 each per week, and 6 employees earn $ 765 each per week. Assume December 31 is a Wednesday. Employees do not work weekends. All employees worked the last 3 days of December.
Total salaries accrued = (5 employees * $635 each per week * 3/5 days) + (6 employees * $765 each per week * 3/5 days) = $4,659
A coal-fired power plant can produce electricity at a variable cost of $0.07 per kilowatt-hour when running at its full capacity of 30 megawatts per hour, $0.16 per kilowatt-hour when running at 20 megawatts per hour, and $0.24 per kilowatt-hour when running at 10 megawatts per hour. A gas-fired power plant can produce electricity at a variable cost of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour at any capacity from 1 megawatt per hour to its full capacity of 5 megawatts per hour. The cost of constructing a coal-fired plant is $70 million, but it costs only $14 million to build a gas-fired plant.
Required:
a. Consider a city that has a peak afternoon demand of 80 megawatts of electricity. If it wants all plants to operate at full capacity, what combination of coal-fired plants and gas-fired plants would minimize construction costs?
b. How much will the city spend on building that combination of plants?
c. What will the average cost per kilowatt-hour be if you average over all 80 megawatts that are produced by that combination of plants?
Answer:
a-The construction of 2 coal-fired plants and 4 gas-fired plants will have minimum construction costs.
b-Total construction cost is $196 Million.
c-The average cost is $0.0825 per killowatt-hour.
Explanation:
a
In order to estimate the best combination of the two, consider the following linear programming model
[tex]30X+5Y\leq80\\X\geq0\\Y\geq0[/tex]
with minimizing function as [tex]70X+14Y[/tex]
This yeilds in the optimum solution of 2 coal fired plants and 4 gas fired plants with minimum construction costs.
The construction of 2 coal-fired plants and 4 gas-fired plants will have minimum construction costs.
b
The construction cost is as follows
Number of coal-fired plants=2
Number of gas-fired plants=4
Total Cost=(Cost of 1 Coal-Fired Plant*Number of coal-fired plants)+(Cost of 1 Gas-Fired Plant*Number of gas-fired plants)
[tex]\text{Total Cost}=(70\times 2)+(14\times4)\\\text{Total Cost}=140+56\\\text{Total Cost}=\$196 \text{Million}[/tex]
Total construction cost is $196 Million.

In the balance sheet at the end of its first year of operations, Dinty Inc. reported an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $82,000. During the year, Dinty wrote off $32,000 of accounts receivable it had attempted to collect and failed. Credit sales for the year were $2,200,000, and cash collections from credit customers totaled $1,950,000. What accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet?
Answer:
$218,000
Explanation:
Account receivable balance = Credit sales - Cash collection - Wrote-offs
Account receivable balance = $2,200,000 - $1,950,000 - $32,000
Account receivable balance = $218,000
So, the accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet is $218,000
One day, Barry the Barber, Inc., collects $400 for haircuts. Over this day, his equipment depreciates in value by $50. Of the remaining $350, Barry sends $30 to the government in sales taxes, takes home $220 in wages, and retains $100 in his business to add new equipment in the future. From the $220 that Barry takes home, he pays $70 in income taxes.
a. gross domestic product
b. net national product
c. national income
d. personal income
e. disposable personal income
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. gross domestic product
The GDP is $400 which is the money that Barry collects for haircut.
b. net national product
Net National Product:
= GDP – Depriciation
= $400 - $50
= $350
c. national income
The national income is the total income that the residents of the country earns and this will be same as Net National Product which is $350
d. personal income
Personal income:
= National income – Retained earnings
= $350 - $100 - $30
= $220
e. disposable personal income
Disposable personal income:
= Personal income – Personal tax
= $220 - $70
= $150
You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. 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.
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)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%

Dixie Chicken is about to close one of its fast food franchises. As part of the closing, the firm will sell a refrigeration unit and its cooking units. The book value of the refrigeration unit is currently $18,203.00, while the book value of the cooking unit is $3,713.00. A buyer has offered $12,454.00 for the refrigerator and $6,116.00 for the cooking unit. The tax rate facing the firm is 35.00%. What is the cash flow from selling these assets
Answer:
$19741.10
Explanation:
Cash flow from the sale = salvage value - tax(salvage value - book value)
Salvage value is the price at which the asset is sold
The refrigerator : $12,454.00 -0.35($12,454.00 - $18,203.00) = $14,466.15
$6,116.00 - 0.35($6,116.00 - $3,713.00) = $5274.95
Total cash flow = $5274.95 + $14,466.15 = $19741.10

A. $ 70 B. $ 80 C. $ 90 D. $100 E. $110
Answer:
C. $ 90
Explanation:
Number of visits = 1,000
Variable cost = $10 × 1,000 = $10,000
Fixed cost = $50,000
Overhead cost = $20,000
Required profit = $10,000
So,Total Cost = Variable Cost+ Fixed Cost+ Overhead Cost
= $10,000 + $50,000 + $20,000
= $80,000
Now, Price per Visit = (Total Cost+ Required Profit) ÷ Number of visits
= ($80,000 + $10,000) ÷ 1,000
= $90,000 ÷ 1,000
= $90
You are evaluating a proposed expansion of an existing subsidiary located in Switzerland. The cost of the expansion would be SF 14 million. The cash flows from the project would be SF 4.0 million per year for the next five years. The dollar required return is 14 percent per year, and the current exchange rate is SF 1.05. The going rate on Eurodollars is 6 percent per year. It is 4 percent per year on Swiss francs.
a. Convert the projected franc flows into dollar flows and calculate the NPV.
b-1. What is the required return on franc flows?
b-2. What is the NPV of the project in Swiss francs?
b-3. What is the NPV in dollars if you convert the franc NPV to dollars?
Answer:
a-The net present value in dollars is 494939.0687.
b-1-The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2-The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3-The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
Explanation:
a
In order to find the solution, firstly the exchange rate for the 5 years is calculated. It is calculated using the formula:
[tex]EER=CER*(1-GRD+GRF)^t[/tex]
Here
EER is the expected exchange rate which is to be calculatedCER is the current exchange rate which is 1.05GRD is the going rate of dollars which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Francs which is 4% or 0.04t is the time in years.From this exchange rate, the PV factor is calculated which is than used to find the present value and similarly net present value in total. The solution is provided in the attached Excel Sheet.
The net present value in dollars is 494939.07
b-1
The required rate on the Franc return is given as:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1[/tex]
Here
FRR is the franc return rate which is to be calculatedDR is the dollar rate which is 14% or 0.14GRD is the going rate of dollar which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Franc which is 4% or 0.04So the value becomes:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1\\FRR=(1+0.14)(1-0.06+0.04)-1\\FRR=0.1172\text{ or }11.72\%[/tex]
The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2
Similar to part a, the solution is found for the return rate of 11.72 and the exchange rate is not required. The values are as indicated in the excel sheet attached.
The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3
In order to convert the Franc NPV to dollars, the exchange rate of 1.05SF is used which gives
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}[/tex]
Here
NPV_dollars is the value of NPV which is to be calculated.NPV_francs is the value of NPV calculated in previous step which is 510686.02.ER is the exchange rate whose value is 1.05So the equation becomes:
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}\\NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{519686.02}{1.05}\\NPV_{dollars}=494939.0666=\$494939.07[/tex]
The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
A construction company is considering investing $80,000 in a dump truck. The truck will last 5 years, at which time it will be sold for $15,000. The maintenance cost at the end of the first year is estimated to be $9,000. Maintenance costs for the truck are estimated to increase by $1000 per year over its life. As an alternative, the company may lease the truck from a dealership for $X per year, including maintenance.
Required:
a. Draw a cash flow diagram of both alternatives.
b. For what value of X should the company lease the truck if the company does business with a MARR of 7%. Assume end-of-year lease payments.
Answer:
a) attached below
b) X < 2.7767.8
Explanation:
Working with the information available
a) Diagram of the cash flow of both alternatives ( Buying and leasing alternatives )
attached below
b) Determine the value of X if the company leases the truck
Given that : MARR = 7%
assuming end-of-year lease payments
Note : The company will only lease the truck if the cost of buying the truck is higher than the cost of leasing in the long term
∴ we will calculate for The cost of buying ( equivalent annual cost )
= -8000( A/P, 7%, 5 ) - 9000 - 1000 (A/G, 7%, 5 ) + 15000 (A/F, 7%, 5 )
= - 27767.8
Hence the value of X that the company should lease instead of buying will be : X < 2.7767.8

EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,039,500. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 495,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $396,000 and $643,500 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.
Wool Cotton Total
Machine hours 110,000 110,000 220,000
Number of setups 1,100 550 1,650
1. Calculate the overhead rate using activity based costing.
2. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing.
3. Calculate the overhead rate using traditional approach.
4. What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach, assuming direct labor hours were incurred evenly between the wool and cotton?
Answer:
1. Cutting $1.80 per machine hour
Design $390 per setup
2. Wool product line $627,000
Cotton Product line $412,500
3. Overhead rate $2.10
4. Wool Product line $519,750
Cotton Product line $519,750
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the overhead rate using activity based costing.
Overhead rate using the activity based costing
Cutting = Overhead / Total Machine hours
= $396,000 / 220,000
= $1.80 per machine hour
Design = Overhead / Number of setups
= $643,500 / 1,650
= $390 per setup
2. Calculation to determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing
Overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line
Wool product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (1,100 * $390)
Wool product line= $198,000 + $429,000
Wool product line= $627,000
Cotton Product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (550 * $390)
Cotton Product line= $198,000 + $214,500
Cotton Product line= $412,500
3.Calculation to determine the overhead rate using traditional approach.
Overhead rate using traditional approach
Overhead rate = Total Overhead / Direct labor hours
Overhead rate= $1,039,500 / 495,000
Overhead rate= $2.10
4. Calculation to determine What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach
Overhead allocated using the traditional method
Wool Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Wool Product line= $519,750
Cotton Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Cotton Product line= $519,750
Dividends on CCN corporation are expected to grow at a 9% per year. Assume that the discount rate on CCN is 12% and that the expected dividend per share in one year is $0.50. CCN has just paid a dividend, so the next dividend is the $0.50 to be paid one year from now. Calculate the expected price per share 14 years from now. Assume that a dividend has just been paid.
Answer:
P14 = $55.69545045394 rounded off to $55.70
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
To calculate the price of the share today, we use the dividend that is expected next year or in Year 1. Thus, to calculate the price of the share 14 years from now, we use use D15. The D15 can be calculated as follows,
D15 = D1 * (1+g)^14
D15 = 0.50 * (1+0.09)^14
D15 = $1.67086351362 rounded off to $1.67
Now using the equation for Price as provided by the DDM model,
P14 = 1.67086351362 / (0.12 - 0.09)
P14 = $55.69545045394 rounded off to $55.70

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is, loosely speaking, like a credit card for your home. You can borrow money by drawing down on the line of credit. But, because the borrowed money is for the purpose of your home, the interest is tax-deductible meaning that you can deduct the interest paid on this money from your income to reduce your taxes. If the current annual interest rate on a HELOC is 3.85\%3.85% and your tax rate is 32\2%, what is the after-tax interest rate you will pay on any borrowings under the HELOC
Answer:
2.618%
Explanation:
Current annual interest rate on a HELOC = 3.85%
Tax rate = 32%
After-tax interest rate = Before tax interest rate * (1 - Tax rate)
After-tax interest rate = 3.85% * (1 - 0.32)
After-tax interest rate = 0.0385 * 0.68
After-tax interest rate = 0.02618
After-tax interest rate = 2.618%
So, the after-tax interest rate you will pay on any borrowings under the HELOC is 2.618%.
