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

In 30 days Radio Shack must pay yen to a Japanese supplier for a shipment of radios arriving then. Radio Shack can sell each radio for $100 and must pay its supplier ¥9,000 per radio; its profit depends on the dollar/ yen exchange rate. The current spot exchange rate, E$/¥ = $0.0105 per yen. Radio Shack will not have the funds to pay the supplier until the radios arrive and are sold. Over the next 30 days, the dollar may depreciate to $0.0115 per yen, and Radio Shack may incur a loss. Describe how Radio Shack can use a forward exchange deal to insure against the possibility that the depreciation of U.S. currency will turn a profitable importing deal into a loss.

A manufacturer has a contract to produce 5,000 units of a certain device. The device can be made by highly trained workmen individually and less skilled workmen with the aid of specialized equipment and proper supervision. The highly- trained workmen are paid $20/ hour and each can produce one unit every 2 hours, on the average. The specialized equipment can be placed in operation at the cost of $60,000 and it will be worthless after 5,000 units are manufactured. With this equipment four men paid $15/hr and a foreman paid $25/hr can do the work. All of the five men working together can finish one unit in 15 minutes. Determine the gain or loss if specialized equipment is used.
Phillip Witt, president of Witt Input Devices, wishes to create a portfolio of local suppliers for his new line of keyboards. Suppose that Phillip is willing to use one local supplier and up to two more located in other territories within the country. This would reduce the probability of a "super-event" that might shut down all suppliers at the same time at least 2 weeks to 0.6%, but due to increased distance the annual costs for managing each of the distant suppliers would be $24,500 (still $16,000 for the local supplier). A total shutdown would cost the company approximately $380,000. He estimates the "unique-event" risk for any of the suppliers to be 4%. Assuming that the local supplier would be the first one chosen, how many suppliers should Witt Input Devices use? Find the EMV for alternatives using 1, 2, or 3 suppliers. EMV(1) = $ 36210 (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
