The table below shows the payoffs for two highly integrated economic countries. Both would benefit from adopting the same IFRS accounting standards. They make a preliminary agreement to do so. However, the initial agreement is only valid for one year and must be reaffirmed by each country at the beginning of the following year. The contract will expire at the end of the seventh year. If either country fails to reaffirm (i.e., violates) the agreement, it will revert to its previous GAAP. If this is the case, companies in that country will report higher profits for the year, and the country will be able to attract more foreign investment. In each box, the first number represents Country 2's payoff and the second represents Country 1's payoff. Country 1 Кеep Violate Country 2 Keep 200,200 100,400 Violate 400,100 100,100

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.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has hired you as a consultant to design an auction to sell wireless spectrum rights. The FCC indicates that its goal of using auctions to sell these spectrum rights is to generate revenue. Since most bidders are large telecommunications companies, you rationally surmise that all participants in the auction are risk neutral. Which auction type—first-price, second-price, English, or Dutch—would you recommend if all bidders value spectrum rights identically but have different estimates of the true underlying value of spectrum rights?

By outbidding its competitors, Turbo Image Processing (TIP), a defense contractor, has received a contract worth $7,300,000 to build navy flight simulators for U.S. Navy pilot training over two years. For some defense contracts, the U.S. government makes an advance payment when the contract is signed, but in this case, the government will make two progressive payments: $4,300,000 at the end of the first year and the $3.000,000 balance at the end of the second year. The expected cash outflows required in order to produce these simulators are estimated to be $1,000,000 now, $2.000,000 during the first year, and $4,320,000 during the second year. The expected net cash flows from this project are summarized as follows: In normal situations, TIP would not even consider a marginal project such as this one in the first place. However, hoping that TIP can establish itself as a technology leader in the field. management felt that it was worth outbidding its competitors by providing the lowest…

Your pharmaceutical firm is seeking to open up new international markets by partnering with various local distributors. The different distributors within a country are stronger with different market segments (hospitals, retail pharmacies, etc.) but also have substantial overlap. In Egypt, you calculate that the annual value created by one distributor is $330 million per year, but would be $440 million if two distributors carried your product line. Assuming a nonstrategic view of bargaining, you would expect to capture million of this deal. (Hint: The two distributors are independent of each other; therefore, you conduct separate negotiations with each.) Argentina also has two distributors that add value equivalent to the value added by the two distributors in Egypt, but both are run by the government. Assuming a nonstrategic view of bargaining, you would expect to capture million of this deal. In Argentina, if you do not reach an agreement with the government…
