- Dennis is the International Representative of ABS-CBN and he is planning to partner with a foreign TV network, either BBC or Al-Jazeera. He also learned that ABS- CBN’s closest competitor, GMA 7, is planning to partner with a foreign TV network either CNN or Fox News. If ABS-CBN partners with BBC, it will lose $7,000 if GMA partners with CNN or gain $9000 if GMA 7 partners with Fox News. If ABS-CBN partners with Al-Jazeera, it will gain $2,000 if GMA 7 partners with CNN or lose $4,000 if GMA 7 partners with Fox News. What should be Dennis’ strategy? How much gain or loss for ABS-CBN will he expect? What should be the strategy of GMA 7?Two rival communications companies (Alpha and Beta) are both considering bringing out a revolutionary 8G wireless technology. Unfortunately, the costs of development are so high that the potential market could only support one firm. Both companies understand these possible outcomes. If one firm enters the 8G market and the other does not, the entering firm will receive $500 billion in profits over the next 5 years; the other firm will receive $100 billion over the same 5 years (by concentrating on their current 5G service). If neither enters the 8G field, they can both expect to receive $75 billion over the 5-year period, as they fight over the 5G market. Lastly, if both enter the 8G market, each will end up suffering a $50 billion loss over the same 5 years. Use a game table with “ENTER” and “STAY OUT” to decide each player’s options and the payoffs. Explain why each company has a strong reason to want to announce its intentions before the other company announces theirs.Once your producers understand the “I WANT $3” game, you will present the “I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE” game. Its rules are: There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). Each player is given $1 million at the start of the game. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose to add to their award $0, $1, $2, $3, $4, ……$999,999, or $1,000,000. Doing so decreases the other player’s award by twice that amount. Each player ends the game with a payoff based on their initial one million, the additional amount that they announced, and the reduction due to the opponent’s announcement. The game matrix for this expanded game has 1,000,001 rows, 1,000,001 columns, and 1,000,002,000,001 pairs of payoffs. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT DRAW IT! But building on what you learned in part (a), answer the following two questions: i) What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? ii) What are the Nash…

- Lyft launched its IPO on April 1st 2019 with a share price of $72. Before the IPO, Lyft’s board of directors was likely trying to decide how to compensate CEO Logan Green to provide an incentive for him to increase the firm’s performance and share price after it went public. Let’s say the board was considering two possibilities such that they were deciding between providing one million dollars worth of shares of the firm stock at $72 per share or one million dollars worth of call options with a strike price of $72 and a maturity and vesting date one year after the IPO. To keep things simple, let’s say CEO Logan Green can choose between providing two levels of effort: regular effort or high effort. He has been exerting regular effort all along. He could switch to high effort which would be much more costly for him as he would have to work even longer hours, but the extra effort would likely result in better performance for the firm. The goal of the board’s incentive compensation is to…A market entry strategy is the planned method of delivering goods or services to a target market and distributing them there.

This building would cost $15 million to construct. Due to low demand for office space in the downtown area, such a building is worth approximately $13.5 million today. If demand increases, the building would be worth $16.8 million a year from today. If demand decreases, the same office building would be worth only $12 million in a year. The company can borrow and lend at the risk-free annual effective rate of 6 percent. A local competitor in the real estate business has recently offered $728,000 for the right to build an office building on the land. What is the value of the office building today?
