Recently, it was announced that two giant French retailers, Carrefour SA and Promodes SA, would merge. A headline in the Wall Street Journal blared, “French Retailers Create New Wal-Mart Rival.” While Wal-Mart’s total sales would still exceed those of the combined company, Wal-Mart’s international sales are far less than those of the combined company. This is a serious concern for Wal-Mart, since its primary opportunity for future growth lies outside of the United States.Below are basic financial data for the combined corporation (in euros) and Wal-Mart (in U.S. dollars) in a recent year. Even though their results are presented in different currencies, by employing ratios we can make some basic comparisons.
“IBM is investing $3 billion in a private-public partnership with New York State, GlobalFoundries, Samsung and equipment vendors,” to create ultradense computer chips (John Markoff, New York Times, July 9, 2015). TOTALLY MADE-UP SCENARIO: Suppose that during their affiliation, Samsung has paid IBM $200 million for creating a special version of these ultradense chips for Android products. Suppose further that the contract included certain requirements for size, speed and other qualities. Then suppose that after beta testing these chips, Samsung claimed that IBM’s efforts failed to live up to their contractual agreements. (2 points each: 1 for explaining the concept, and 1 for applying it correctly) a. Was either party earning rent? What assumptions do you have to make to assert this? b. Was either party earning quasi-rent? What assumptions do you have to make to assert this? c. Could IBM have held up Samsung? And/or could Samsung have held up IBM? Explain.

There are two firms that are considering entering a new market, and must make their decision without knowing what the other firm has done. Unfortunately the market is only big enough to support one of the two firms. If both firms enter the market then they will each make a loss of £20 million. If only one firm enters the market, that firm will earn a profit of £80 million, and the other firm will just break even. If both firms do not enter the market, then they will just break even as well What outcomes, if any, are Nash equilibria? (explain the decision step by step)

Can you help me answer this with a step by step explanation and display any formulas used.? There is a firm, which we are prospecting as a purchase candidate. It has the following features we find attractive. First, it will enable us to sell to the clients of this firm what we already are selling our existing clients. The revenue addition will be $12 million. However, it will induce $3 million more expenses in attaining that higher level of revenue. Secondly, it will enable us to sell a division of the firm that does not rally connect with our operations for $5 million. Thirdly, since there is a lot of repetition of positions ( we are in the same line of business) we can lay off 50 employees permanently. The average salary of those employees is $60,000. The coc of the firm is 10%. Calculate the amount that we can bid to acquire this company.
