A Japanese electronics company and an Americanelectronics company are both considering working ondeveloping a superconductor. If both companies work onthe superconductor, they will have to share the market, andeach company will lose $10 billion. If only one companyworks on the superconductor, that company will earn $100billion in profits. Of course, if neither company works onthe superconductor, then each company earns profits of $0. a Formulate this situation as a two-person nonconstant-sum game. Does the game have any equilibrium points? b Now suppose the Japanese government offers theJapanese electronics company a $15 billion subsidy to work on the superconductor. Formulate the reward ma-trix for this game. Does this game have any equilibrium points?c Businesspeople have often said that a protectionist attitude toward trade can increase exports, but econo-mists have usually argued that it will reduce exports. Whose viewpoint does this problem support?

Consider two companies with mining rights to the same region. They couldmine in an environmentally friendly manner or agressively. If both mineenvironmentally friendly, profits are 100 million for each in a given year.If they both mine agressively, the government will step in and fine them,meaning that they will make 75 million each. Finally, the government willnot step in if only one of the companies mines agressively, meaning that theaggresive miner will make 120 million while the environmentally friendlyminer will loose out in capacity and make 50 million.a) Write the normal form of the game and point out the Nash equilibriumif the game is played only once. (2)b) What will be the rollback equilibrium if the two companies mine thesame region three years ina row? (2)c) Now assume that the game is repeated infinitely.

A state university is buying computers and has narrowed it down to two different models that they would like to purchase, the Pear and the iNac. Each Pear has 160 GB of memory and 160 TB of disk space and each iNac has 480 GB of memory and 80 TB of disk space. For accreditation reasons the school would like to be able to say they have a total of at least 43200 GB of memory and at least 19200 TB of disk space. If the Pears cost $2200 each and the iNacs cost $1000 each, how many of each computer should they get to minimize cost.
Mr. Albert Richardson, a financial advisor at NNW Investments identified two companies that are likely candidates for a takeover in the near future. East End Cable is a leading manufacturer of flexible cable systems used in the construction industry, and CampSwitch is a new firm specializing in digital switching systems. East End Cable is currently trading at $40 per share, and CampSwitch is currently trading at $25 per share. If the takeovers occur, Mr. Richardson estimates that the price of East End Cable will go to $55 per share and CampSwitch will go to $43 per share. At this point in time, Mr. Richardson has identified CampSwitch as the higher-risk alternative. Assume that a client has indicated a willingness to invest a maximum of $50,000.00 in the two companies. The client wants to invest at least $15,000.00 in East End Cable and at least 10,000.00 in CampSwitch. Because of the high risk associated with CampSwitch, Mr. Richardson has recommended that at most $25,000.00 should be…

Trans Global Tractor Trailers has decided to spend up to $2,700,000 on a fleet of new trucks, and it is considering three models: the Gigahaul, which has a capacity of 6,000 cubic feet and is priced at $60,000; the Megahaul, with a capacity of 5,000 cubic feet, priced at $50,000; and the Picohaul, with a capacity of 2,000 cubic feet, priced at $40,000. The anticipated annual revenues are $500,000 for each new truck purchased (regardless of size). Trans Global would like a total capacity of up to 234,000 cubic feet and feels that it cannot provide drivers and maintenance for more than 54 trucks.How many of each should it purchase to maximize annual revenue? (Gigahaul, Megahaul, Picohaul) = trucks What is the largest possible revenue it can make? $
A doughnut shop has two kitchens in which the dough is rolled out and cut. Kitchen 1 can produce up to 150 dozen per day and kitchen 2 can produce up to 125 dozen per day. The dough is then sent via conveyor belt to one of two deep fryers. The cost of sending the dough by the conveyor belt from the kitchens to the fryers is given below. From the deep fryers, the doughnuts are then loaded onto trays and sent to the bakery to be glazed. The cost to send doughnuts from Fryer A to the bakery to be glazed is $0.40 per dozen and the cost to send doughnuts from Fryer B to the bakery to be glazed is $0.33 per dozen. Additionally, doughnuts can be moved between the two fryers by cart for $0.12 per dozen. The bakery has a fixed daily demand of 200 dozen. Formulate a balanced transshipment problem to minimize the cost of meeting the bakery’s demand. Draw the network OR write the associated linear program.
Federated Electronics, Ltd., manufactures display screensand monitors for computers and televisions, which it sellsto companies around the world. It wants to construct a new warehouse and distribution center in Asia to serve emerg-ing markets there. It has identified potential sites in the port cities of Shanghai, Singapore, Pusan, Kaohsiung, and HongKong and has estimated the possible revenues for each(minus construction costs which are higher in some citieslike Hong Kong). At each site the projected revenues are primarily based on these factors, (1) the economic condi-tions at the port including the projected traffic, infrastruc-ture, labor rates and availability; and expansion and modernization; and (2) the future government situationwhich includes the political stability, fees, tariffs, duties,and trade regulations. Following is a payoff table thatshows the projected revenues (in $ billions) for six years given the four possible combinations for positive and nega-tive port and…

According to a study administered by the National Bureau of Economic Research, half of Americans would struggle to come up with $2000 in the event of a financial emergency. The majority of the 1900 Americans surveyed said they would rely on more than one method to come up with emergency funds if required. In the survey, 397 people said that they "certainly" would not be able to cope with an unexpected $2000 bill if they had to come up with the money in 30 days, and 553 people said they "probably" would not be able to cope. Step 1 of 2 : What percentage of Americans "certainly" would not be able to produce $2000 in the event of an emergency according to the study? Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.
