Suppose felix and janet are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action left or right. the payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. for example, the lower-right cell shows that if felix chooses right and janet chooses right, felix will receive a payoff of 7 and janet will receive a payoff of 4.

janet

left - right

felix - left - 2, 3 - 2, 4

right - 3, 7 - 4, 6

the only dominant strategy in this game is for (janet, felix) to choose (left, right)

the outcome reflecting the unique nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: felix chooses (left, right) and janet chooses (left, right) .

Insurance companies have internal controls in place to protect assets, monitor the accuracy of accounting records and encourage operational efficiencies and adherence to policies. these internal controls are generally of two types: administrative controls and accounting controls. administrative controls are the policies and procedures that guide the daily actions of employees. accounting controls are the policies and procedures that delineate authorizations of financial transactions that are done, safeguard assets, and provide reports on the company’s financial status in a reliable and timely manner. internal controls should include both preventative and detective controls. the purpose of preventative controls is to stop problems and errors before they occur. detective controls identify problems after they have occurred. preventative controls are usually more effective at reducing problems, but they also tend to be more expensive. internal controls must be flexible to adjust for changes in laws and regulations in addition to adding new products or modifying current ones. companies must also do regular analyses to ensure that the benefits of implementing the controls are worth their costs. when concerned about paying unwarranted insurance claims which type of control would be useful?
