Suppose there are only two firms that sell Blu-ray players, Movietonia and Videotech. The following payoff Matrix shows the prof

it in millions of dollars each company will earn depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its players. For example the lower left cell shows that if Movietonia prices low and Videotech prices high, Movietonia earn a profit of $19 million and Videotech will earn a profit of $4 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Movietonia and Videotech are both-profit-maximizing firms.
Videotech
Movietonia high price low price
high price 10, 10 4, 19
low price 19, 4 6, 6

If Movietonia prices high, Videotech makes more profit if it chooses a _____, and if Movietonia prices low, Videotech makes more profit if it chooses a _____.
If Videotech prices high, Movietonia makes more profit if it chooses a _____, and if Videotech prices low, Movietonia makes more profit if it chooses a _____.
Considering all of the information given, pricing high _____ a dominant strategy for both Movietonia and Videotech.

a. Movietonia will choose a high price and Videotech will choose a low price.
b. Movietonia will choose a low price and Videotech will choose a high price.
c. Both Movietonia and Videotech will choose a high price

Answer:

From the given Matrix we can see that if videotech is selecting a high price, movietonia has a higher profit when it is charging a low price and this profit is 18. Similarly when videotech is selecting a lower price movietonia again has a higher profit when it is selecting a lower price which is 10. This indicates that movie tonia has a dominant strategy of selecting a low price.

If movietonia is selecting a high price videotech has a a higher pay off of 18 when it is selecting a low price. In case movietonia is selecting a low price videotech again has a higher profit when it is selecting a low price and this profi is 10.

Therefore videotech and movietonia both have dominant strategy of selecting a low price and this implies that low price, low price will be the Nash equilibrium.

In case the two firms are not colluding, both of them will choose a low price.

This is definitely an example of business dilemma game. The statement is true.

The Supplies account for Vulcan Cleaning Services had a debit balance of $200 at the beginning of the month. Additional supplies
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Beginning balance in supplies account = $200

The supplies account is an asset account and ordinarily should have a debit balance. If additional supplies of $1,400 were purchased during the month, it goes into the account as a debit.

If at the end of the month, only $600 of supplies was still on hand total supplies expense

$200 + $1,400 - supplies expense = $600

supplies expense = $200 + $1,400 - $600

= $1,000

The supplies expense is debited when supplies are used and the corresponding credit goes to the supplies account.

If the government were to impose higher taxes on gasoline all of these outcomes could happen because they all relate to the use of gasoline and how it hurt our environment. If less people were using the gas, more eco friendly vehicle options would likely be on the market. </span>

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

D. $4,000

Explanation:

For Anderson Antiques the following have been given

Opening balance= $4,000

Cash receipts (inflow)= $365,000

Cash disbursed (outflow)= $370,000

Desired reserve= $3,000

So cash at end of day= Opening balance + cash inflow - cash outflow

= 4,000+ 365,000- 370,000

= - 1,000

Remember we want a cash reserve of $3,000 so we take it out of closing balance

Final figure= -1,000-3000= -$4,000

So shortfall of $4,000
