Answer:

Given:

Demand = 15,000

Initial investment = $256,000

Variable cost = $15

Selling price = $30

Here, we'll first compute break-even quantity :

i.e. $Initial \: investment + variable \: cost \times Quantity_{break\:even} = Quantity_{break\:even} \times selling price$

$256,000 + 15 \times Quantity_{break\:even} = Quantity_{break\:even} \times 30$

$Quantity_{break\:even} = 17,067 units$

From above we can state that the demand is less than break-even quantity i.e. in this case the organization will not be able to recover the investment made.

Therefore, the company's total margin will be less than its investment.

The correct option is (b)

Windgate Company

1. Segmented Income Statement

Company East Central West

Sales $ 1,645,000 $445,000 $610,000 $590,000

Variable expenses 623,950 235,850 140,300 247,800

Contribution margin 1,021,050 209,150 469,700 342,200

Fixed expenses Traceable 759,000 229,000 327,000 203,000

Fixed expenses: Common 364,000

Net operating income (loss) $ (101,950) ($19,850) $142,700 $139,200

2-a. Division West:

Sales $660,800 (590,000 x 1.12)

Variable expenses 247,800

Contribution 413,000

Fixed Costs 224,000

Net operating income (loss) $ 189,000

Difference = $49,800 ($189,000 - 139,200)

The net operating income would increase by $49,800.

2-b. I would recommend the increased advertising. It brings in more profit than the costs.

Explanation:

a) Data:

Income Statement

Sales $ 1,645,000

Variable expenses 623,950

Contribution margin 1,021,050

Fixed expenses 1,123,000

Net operating income (loss) $ (101,950)

b) Windgate Company's segmented income statement has enabled the tracing of fixed costs to the three divisions and the calculation of net operating income for the three divisions. Thus, revealing that Division East was not profitable. From this information, management can decide to make some changes or altogether dispose of Division East in order to redeem the fortunes of the company.

If a player chooses a mixed strategy in a Nash equilibrium, this implies that the payoff from using that mixed strategy is the s

son4ous [18]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The concept of "Nash equilibrium" is been by economist and also by "gamers" in game theory. Nash equilibrium is so good for making decisions and the determination of strategies.

In playing this game, the players or participants can use the pure strategy or the mixed strategy. The mixed strategy is the use of different strategies randomly.

"If a player chooses a mixed strategy in a Nash equilibrium, this implies that the payoff from using that mixed strategy is the same as the payoff from using any of the pure strategies in it".

The statement given above is FALSE because the PAYOFF WILL INCREASE IF WE ARE TO PLAY A MIXED STRATEGY.

For instance if we have a head of 1 and -1, and a tail of -1 and 1, the payoff for pure strategy is likely one or minus one but for a mixed strategy it could be zero.
