Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
The payoff matrix for this question is
Launch (in millions) Don't Launch (in millions)
Launch (in millions) $40, $40 $30, $45
Don't Launch (in millions) $45, $30 $50, $50
It can be seen that the best strategy for each firm is not to launch because the payoffs of not launching ($45, $50) is greater than the payoff of launching ($40, $30)
An electronics manufacturer in Japan creates a strategic partnership with a
large retailer in the United States. They both invest funds into the partnership
and share in the control of the distribution and resources. The Japanese
company gets a tax advantage because of this partnership, and the U.S.
company gets an advantage because of the exclusivity agreement to carry
these electronic products. Which type of global entry strategy does this
example highlight?
Answer:
Creating a joint venture.
Explanation:
A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located. In a foreign direct investment (FDI), an investor must establish his business, factory and operations in a foreign country or acquire assets in a business that is being operated in a foreign country.
Additionally, foreign direct investment (FDI) are categorized into three (3) main types and these are;
1. Vertical FDI: it involves establishing a different business that is however similar to the main business owned by the investor.
2. Horizontal FDI: it involves establishing the same type of business in a foreign country as owned in the investor's country.
3. Conglomerate FDI: it involves establishing a business that is completely different in another (foreign) country.
A joint venture can be defined as a type of business partnership which typically involves making direct investment in a foreign country with a domestic partner. It is typically established or initiated by two or more people on mutual grounds to make profits and sharing costs.
In this scenario, an electronics manufacturer in Japan creates a strategic partnership with a
large retailer in the United States.
Thus, the type of global entry strategy which this example highlight is creating a joint venture.

Green Corporation reported pretax book income of $1,028,000. During the current year, the net reserve for warranties increased by $51,400. In addition, tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $107,000. Finally, Green subtracted a dividends received deduction of $25,700 in computing its current-year taxable income. Green's cash tax rate is:
Answer:
the cash rate is 92.09%
Explanation:
The computation of the cash tax rate is shown below:
= Pre tax income + increased net reserve warranties - book depreciation - dividend
= $1,028,000 + $51,400 - $107,000 - $25,700
= $946,700
Now the cash rate is
= $946,700 ÷ $1,028,000 × 100
= 92.09%
Hence, the cash rate is 92.09%
