The profitfunctions of these two firms areп — (150 — q —92)91 — 209,T2 = (150 – 91 – 92)92 – 2292Which generate the following best response functions.150 – 20 191 =2150 – 20 192 =2a. Plot these reaction functions in a graph with q, on the horizontal axisand q, on the vertical axis.b. Derive, I want to see your work, the Nash equilibrium outcome ofthis game.c. How does the Nash equilibrium change if the demand curve shifts out,a bigger intercept on the demand equation.

You are being asked to evaluate the worthiness of an investment that requires you to spend $100,000 today in return for receiving $30,000 each year for seven years, beginning four years from now. Which of the following statements is TRUE If the MARR = 10%, I would conclude that this is a profitable investment. Present Worth = $30,000 X 7 - $100,000. If the MARR = 10%, I would conclude that this is not a profitable investment.
The owner of a ski resort is considering installing a new ski lift that will cost $850,000. Expenses for operating and maintaining the lift are estimated to be $2,000 per day when operating. The U.S.Weather Service estimates that there is a 55% probability of 90 days of skiing weather per year, a 30% probability of 100 days per year, and a 15% probability of 120 days per year. The operators of the resort estimate that during the first 90 days of adequate snow in a season, an average of 550 people will use the lift each day, at a fee of $10 each. If 10 additional days are available, the lift will be used by only 450 people per day during the extra period; and if 20 more days of skiing are available, only 250 people per day will use the lift during those days. The study period is eight years; the ski lift will be depreciated by using the MACRS Alternative Depreciation System (ADS); the ADS recovery period is seven years; MARR = 10% per year (after-tax); and the effective income tax rate…

AMH Inc. currently sells 1,148 Class A motor homes, 2,751 Class C motor homes, and 108,438 pop- up trailers yearly. AMH is considering adding a mid-range camper and expects to sell 1,783 if launched. However, if the new camper is added, AMH expects that its Class A sales will decline to 656 units while the Class C campers will decline to 1,750. The sales of pop-ups will not be affected. Class A motor homes sell each for an average of $115,324. Class C homes are priced at $27,383, and the pop-ups sell each for $4,678. The new mid-range camper will sell for $46,299.

You are a college sophomore who tutors fellow classmates in your free time for extra money. With your current abilities, you can earn $2,000 per year for the next three years from tutoring. However, suppose you have the option of enhancing your ability to tutor by acquiring special training for $6,000. After paying the fee, the training takes two years to complete, but at the end of this training period, you can earn $13,000 tutoring during the third year. While training in your free time, you are unable to continue tutoring. At what discount rate would you be indifferent between acquiring and not acquiring the training? You would be indifferent if the discount rate were percent. (Enter a numeric response rounded to two decimal places.)
If you have the following two investments: The first investment will produce $100,000 after two years from now, and the second investment will produce $110,000 three years from now. Which investment will be more economically viable?

A certain warehouse is worth P700,000. The average value of the merchandise in the warehouse is P600,000. The annual insurance rate on the warehouse is 1% and the merchandise stored in the warehouse is 0.9%. A proposal for the installation of a fire sprinkler system is being considered. The system will cost P70,000 and will affect a savings of 50% in both insurance premiums. Annual maintenance cost is estimated to be P1,500 and annual taxes of P600 for the sprinkler system. The owners of the warehouse demand that the investment in such equipment be written-off within 10 years. Invested capital can be expected to earn a minimum return of about 20%. Would you advice the installation? (Use ROR and PW)
Alice has been in a defined-contribution pension scheme since she was 35 and will retire in one year’s time at age 66. Her salary is currently £55,000. Throughout her enrolment in the scheme, she has paid in 8% of salary, and this has been topped up by employer contributions and tax relief worth 4% of salary. She will also qualify for a state pension of £9,000 per year. If, instead, Alice retires (at age 66) by putting her whole pension fund in a drawdown scheme (with annual income at 33% of her pre-retirement gross income), how much income would she have available to spend in her first year of retirement?
