Recall the variant of the pizza pricing game in Exercise U2, part (b), in Chapter 10, in which one store (Donna’s Deep Dish) was much larger than the other (Pierce’s Pizza Pies). The payoff table for that version of the game is: PIERCES PIZZA PIES
High Low
DONNAS
DEEP DISH High 156,60 132,70
Low 150,36 130,50
The non-cooperative dominant-strategy equilibrium is (High, Low), yielding profits of 132 to Donna’s and 70 to Pierce’s, for a total of 202. If the two could achieve (High, High), their total profit would be 156 + 60 = 216, but Pierce’s would not agree to this pricing.
Suppose the two stores can reach an enforceable agreement whereby both charge High and Donna’s pays Pierce’s a sum of money. The alternative to this agreement is simply the non-cooperative dominant-strategy equilibrium. They bargain over this agreement, and Donna’s has 2.5 times as much bargaining power as Pierce’s. In the resulting agreement, what sum will Donna’s pay to Pierce’s?

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
