Implications of game theory

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Game Theory is a general mathematical analysis to investigate the strategic interactions among players. Game theorists attempt to provide precise descriptions of situations of conflicting interests in order to study the behavior that such a conflict would (or, in some cases, should) elicit from rational agents. Players are assumed to consider the position and perceptions of other players while forming their strategies. In our examples, we will assume that there are two players, and that each has two choices and the fact that the players are selfish (operate in their own best interests) and rational .

Limitations of Game Theory :

The biggest issue with game theory is that, like most other economic models, it relies on the assumption that people are rational actors that are self-interested and utility-maximizing. Of course, we are social beings who do cooperate and do care about the welfare of others, often at our own expense. Game theory cannot account for the fact that in some situations we may fall into a Nash equilibrium, and other times not, depending on the social context and who the players are.

You have purchased 1 million shares in a restaurant chain venture. At this zero-stage investment, your company’s assets are $110,000 plus the idea for your new product. Look back at your restaurant chain venture. Suppose that when you first approach your friendly VC, he decides that your shares are worth only $1.00 each. a. How many shares will you need to sell to raise the additional $1,370,000?
b. What fraction of the firm will you own after the VC investment? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:

(a) 1,370,000 shares

(b) 42.19%

Explanation:

Given that,

Shares in a restaurant chain venture = 1,000,000 shares

Price of each share = $1.00

(a) To raise the additional $1,370,000:

Shares will you need to sell:

= Additional amount ÷ Price of each share

= $1,370,000 ÷ $1.00

= 1,370,000 shares

(b) No. of Shares After investment:

= Shares need to sell + Shares in a restaurant chain venture

= 1,370,000 + 1,000,000

= 2,370,000 shares

Therefore, the fraction of the firm will you own after the VC investment:

= (Shares in a restaurant chain venture ÷ No. of Shares After investment) × 100

= (1,000,000 ÷ 2,370,000) × 100

= 0.4219 × 100

= 42.19%

Bramble Corp. has two divisions; Sporting Goods and Sports Gear. The sales mix is 65% for Sporting Goods and 35% for Sports Gear. Bramble incurs $6750000 in fixed costs.

Answers

Answer:

37%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average contribution margin ratio is shown below:

= Contribution margin ratio ×  weightage

= 30 × 65% + 50 × 35%

= 37%

We simply multiplied the contribution margin ratio with the weightage so that the  weighted-average contribution margin ratio could come and the same to be considered

LO 4.2Which document lists the total direct labor used in a specific job?job cost sheet

Answers

Answer:

job cost sheet  

Explanation:

The job cost sheet refers to the statement used to report production costs and is developed by businesses using a work-order charging system to measure and assign costs of goods and services.

is the responsibility of the accounts department to chart all production costs (primary supplies, direct labor and overhead production) on the work cost sheet. For each worker, a separate job expense sheet is arranged.

Job cost sheet not gets utilized for paying work expenses only, it's also component of the reporting records of the business. It is also used in the system account as something of a subordinate ledger to the project as it includes all the information about the work being done.

A firm derives revenue from two sources: goods X and Y. Annual revenues from good X and Y are $10,000 and $20,000, respectively. If the price elasticity of demand for good X is -4.0 and the cross-price elasticity of demand between Y and X is 2.0, then a 2 percent decrease in the price of X will _______.

Answers

Answer:

X demand would rise by 8% ; Y demand would fall by 4%

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness in demand quantity, due to change in good's price

P.Ed = % change in demand / % change in own price

Cross Price Elasticity is the responsiveness in a good's demand quantity, due to change in other good's price

C.Ed = % change in demand (Y) / % change in other good's price (X)

Given {Good X Elasticities} : P.Ed =  (-) 4 ; C.Ed = 2

Price of X decrease = 2%

P.Ed = 4  = % change in demand / 2

% change in demand of X = 2 x 4 = 8%

P.Ed absolute value ignoring negative has been taken due to law of demand price - demand inverse relationship already depicting it. So, 2% fall in price of X increases it's quantity demanded by 8%

C.Ed = 2 =  % change in Y demand  / 2

% change in Y demand = 2 x 2 = 4%

Cross Price Elasticity of demand is positive in case of substitute goods. These goods can be interchange-ably used to satisfy a particular want. Substitutes price & demand are directly related;- as price fall of a good makes it relatively cheap, increases its demand, decreases other good's demand. So, 2% decrease in good X price decreases good Y demand by 4%

The following account balances were drawn from the financial statements of Grayson Company: Cash $ 5,000 Accounts payable $ 1,550 Accounts receivable $ 2,100 Common stock ? Land $ 8,600 Retained earnings, Jan.1 $ 3,300 Revenue $ 10,100 Expenses $ 7,550 Based on the above information, what is the balance of Common Stock for Grayson Company?

Answers

Answer:

The balance of Common Stock for Grayson Company is $8,300

Explanation:

For computing the common stock value, first we have to compute the ending retained earning balance which is shown below

= Beginning retained earning balance + revenues - expenses

= $3,300 + $10,100 - $7,550

= $5,850

Thus, the ending balance is $5,850

Now by applying the accounting equation we can compute the common stock value

Accounting equation is equals to

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

where,

Assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Land

           = $5,000 + $2,100 + $8,600

           = $15,700

Liabilities = Accounts payable = $1,550

And, Equity = Ending Retained earnings balance + common stock

                   = $5,850 + common stock

Now, apply the above accounting equation which is shown below:

$15,700 = $1,550 + $5,850 + common stock

$15,700 = $7,400 + common stock

So, common stock = $8,300

Hence, the balance of Common Stock for Grayson Company is $8,300
