Your father is 50 years old and will retire in 10 years. He expects to live for 25 years after he retires, until he is 85. He wants a fixed retirement income that has the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $55,000 has today. (The real value of his retirement income will decline annually after he retires.) His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, at which time he will receive 24 additional annual payments. Annual inflation is expected to be 6%. He currently has $105,000 saved, and he expects to earn 10% annually on his savings. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.

For each event below, state the effect on the price level and real output in the short run for the US economy. (for each part, include a sketch of the shift either in demand or supply to support your answer)

Coors and Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) are competing against each other to try to capture a larger share of the US beer market by conducting national advertising campaigns. The NFL offers the best target market audience (males, aged 18-34) because young men are the largest customer group for these companies beer products.

Each company had two advertising choices:

1. Advertise $100M annually for each company with the NFL. This would lead to profits for each company of $2B annually; or

2. Advertise $200M annually for each company with the NFL. This would lead to profits for each company of $1B annually.

However, if one company advertised $200M, while the other remained at $100M, the beer company that increased its advertising would have profits of $2.5B while the other company would have profits of $500M.

What profit outcomes will occur for Coors and Anheuser-Busch given the above framework? What is the impact on the NFL? Assume the management teams of Coors and Anheuser-Busch Make have complete knowledge (i.e. perfect information) on all of the possible outcomes, not only for their own company, but for their competitor. Make sure to draw a payoff matrix to support your answer.

What steps would you take to address any possible biases?
