Consider a remote town in which two restaurants, all-you-can-eat cafe? and goodgrub diner, operate in a duopoly. both restaurants disregard health and safety regulations, but they continue to have customers because they are the only restaurants within 80 miles of town. both restaurants know that if they clean up, they will attract more customers, but this also means that they will have to pay workers to do the cleaning. if neither restaurant cleans, each will earn $12,000; alternatively, if they both hire workers to clean, each will earn only $9,000. however, if one cleans and the other doesn't, more customers will choose the cleaner restaurant; the cleaner restaurant will make $16,000, and the other restaurant will make only $4,000.complete the following payoff matrix using the previous information. (note: all-you-can-eat cafe? and goodgrub diner are both profit-maximizing firms.)clean ups goodgrub diner doesn't clean 't cleanall-you-can-eat cafe? and goodgrub diner decide to collude, the outcome of this game is as follows: all-you-can-eat cafe? cleansdoes not cleanand goodgrub dinercleansdoes not clean

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity

Stocks a, b, and c are similar in some respects: each has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 25%. stocks a and b have returns that are independent of one another; i.e., their correlation coefficient, r, equals zero. stocks a and c have returns that are negatively correlated with one another; i.e., r is less than 0. portfolio ab is a portfolio with half of its money invested in stock a and half in stock b. portfolio ac is a portfolio with half of its money invested in stock a and half invested in stock c. which of the following statements is correct? a. portfolio ab has a standard deviation that is greater than 25%.b. portfolio ac has an expected return that is less than 10%.c. portfolio ac has a standard deviation that is less than 25%.d. portfolio ab has a standard deviation that is equal to 25%.e. portfolio ac has an expected return that is greater than 25%.
