Two companies own adjacent natural gas fields. Under the two fields is a common pool of natural gas worth $100 million. Drilling a well costs $10 million, and each company can drill either 1 or 2 wells. Two wells is sufficient to extract all the gas, and the gas is split between the companies based on how many wells they've drilled: if each company has one or two wells, they each get 50%, but if one company has two wells and the other has only one, then the company with two wells gets two thirds of the gas and the company with one well gets only one third. A socially optimal solution would be for each company to drill : a. 2 wells, but the Nash equilibrium is for one company to drill 1 well and the other company to drill 2 wells
b. 2 wells, but the Nash equilibrium is for each company to drill i well.
c. 1 well, and the Nash equilibrium is for each company to drill one well
d. 1 well but the Nash equilibrium is for each company to drill two wells

M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.

Which of the following statements is correct? stockholders should generally be happier than bondholders to have managers invest in risky projects with high potential returns as opposed to safe projects with lower expected returns. potential conflicts between stockholders and bondholders are increased if a firm's bonds are convertible into its common stock. takeovers are most likely to be attempted if the target firm’s stock price is above its intrinsic value. one advantage of operating a business as a corporation is that stockholders can deduct their pro rata share of the taxes the firm pays, thereby eliminating the double taxation investors would face in a partnership.
