1] TEXplor has purchased a 2-year lease on land adjacent to the land leased byClampett. The land leased by TEXplor lies above the same crude oil deposit. Assume each company sinks wells of the same size at the same time. If both companies sinkwide wells, each will extract 2 million barrels in 6 months, but each company willreceive profit of only GHC 1 million. On the other if each company sinks a narrowwell, it will take a year for Clampett and TEXplor to extract their respective shares,but their profits will be GHC14 million apiece. Finally, if one company drills a widewell while the other company drills a narrow well, the first company will extract 3million barrels and the second company will extract only 1 million barrels. In thiscase, the first company will earn profits of GHC 16 million and the second companywill actually lose GHC 1million.1. Illustrate this using a normal form game. 2.

W7 Q5 A paper published in the Harvard Business Review points out a new way to calculate economic profit that could be more appropriate for service firms and other people-intensive companies. Instead of focusing on investment and return on investment, the focus is on employee productivity, in terms of both generating revenues and reducing costs. The approach is to first determine economic profit in the conventional way, except that we ignore taxes, so that economic profit is before tax, as follows: Economic profit = Operating profit − Capital charge Assume the following information for a hotel chain that wishes to adopt the new method. The firm has $100 million in operating profit, has $1 billion in investment, and uses a cost of capital rate of 5%, so the capital charge is $50 million and the economic profit is $50 million. Relevant calculations are contained in Part 1 of the following schedule: Part 1: Economic Profit (in thousands, except cost of capital rate) Revenue…

Suppose a food company has both food and store divisions. The food divisionproduces burgers that are sold downstream at the store. Assume that the storesells 1,000 burgers at $10, 2,000 burgers at $9, 3,000 at $8, and so on up to10,000 burgers at $1. The price the food division charges for a burger is$3.50. What will be the profit-maximizing price for the entire company? How muchprofit will the company make? What is the revenue-maximizing quantity for thestore?
