SAT-Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of machinery that will cost them $1,800,695 today (in 2010). This piece of machinery, however, will increase the company’s after-tax cash flows by $500,000 in 2011, $750,000 in 2012, $1,000,000 in 2013. If SAT-Corp.’s discount rate (WACC) is 10%, then the NPV of making this purchase is (show steps)

1. Suppose that U.S.-based Qualcomm and European-based T-Mobile are contemplating infrastructure investments in a developing mobile telephone market. Qualcomm presently uses a code-division multiple access (CDMA) technology, which almost 67 million users in the United States utilize. In contrast, T-Mobile uses a global systems for mobile communication (GSM) technology that has become the standard in Europe and Asia. Each company must (simultaneously and independently) decide which of these two technologies to introduce in the new market. Qualcomm estimates that it will cost $1.2 billion to install its CDMA technology and $2.0 billion to install GSM technology. T-Mobile’s projected cost of installing GSM technology is $1.1 billion, while the cost of installing the CDMA technology is $2.7 billion. As shown in the accompanying table, each company’s projected revenues depend not only on the technology it adopts, but also on that adopted by its rival:

Projected Revenues for Different Combinations of Mobile Technology Standards (in billions)

Standards (Qualcomm-T-Mobile) Qualcomm’s Revenues T-Mobile’s Revenues
CDMA-GSM $13.5 $9.7
CDMA-CDMA $17.2 $15.6
GSM-CDMA $16.7 $10.1
GSM-GSM $15.5 $19.8


Determine the Nash equilibrium/equilibria of this game. Then, explain the economic forces that give rise to the structure of the payoffs and any difficulties the companies might have in achieving Nash equilibrium in the new market.

While there is a degree of differentiation between major grocery chains like Albertsons and Kroger, the regular offering of sale prices by both firms for many of their products provides evidence that these firms engage in price competition. For markets where Albertsons and Kroger are the dominant grocers, this suggests that these two stores simultaneously announce one of two prices for a given product: a regular price or a sale price. Suppose that when one firm announces the sale price and the other announces the regular price for a particular product, the firm announcing the sale price attracts 1,000 extra customers to earn a profit of $5,000, compared to the $3,000 earned by the firm announcing the regular price. When both firms announce the sale price, the two firms split the market equally (each getting an extra 500 customers) to earn profits of $2,000 each. When both firms announce the regular price, each company attracts only its 1,500 loyal customers and the firms each earn $4,500 in profits.


If you were in charge of pricing at one of these firms, would you have a clear-cut pricing strategy? If so, explain why. If not, explain why not and propose a mechanism that might solve your dilemma. (Hint: Unlike Walmart, neither of these two firms guarantees “Everyday low prices.”)

A house is worth $400,000 in 2020, but was worth $150,000 in 1990. Using prices in 1990 as the base year, know that prices in the economy have grown on average by 1.50 times between 1990 and 2020.


(i) If the price of the house had risen at the same rate as average prices, what would the house be worth in 2020? Briefly explain your answer.​​


(ii) Without doing any calculations, but simply based on information in the question and your response in (i), would you be better off having bought this house in 1990 or 2020? Briefly justify your answer.​​​​​


(iii) Calculate the rate of inflation between 1990 and 2020.​​
b. Assume wage negotiations are done and agreed based on the CPI. Briefly explain what happens to employers and employees when the CPI is upwardly biased (i.e. the CPI is estimated to be higher than what it should be).​​​​​

Leila owns 14% of the ordinary share of Datafarm Ltd. Assume dividends from Datafarm is the only income Leila has and she has no savings. In early March, 2020, Datafarm Ltd reported net profits after tax of $1,000,000 for the year, 2019 (1 January to 1 December, 2019), and announced due to the effect of COVID 19 Global pandemic it expects net profits after tax for the current year, 2020, to be 30% lower than last year’s figure. The company currently has a dividend payout ratio of 30%, which it will apply for the annual dividend for 2019, payable in July 2020, but it will reduce the dividend payout ratio to 20% for the dividend for 2020, payable in July, 2021. In July, 2021, Leila wishes to spend $45,000. How much can she consume in July, 2020 if the capital market offers an interest rate of 9% per year
