Asymmetric Information - End of Chapter Problem Car buyers value a high-quality used car at $16,000 and a low-quality used car at $8,000. The supply of high-quality cars is given by QH = -200+ 0.05 P; the supply of low-quality cars is given by Q₁ = -200+ 0.1 P₁ . Potential buyers cannot tell Он the difference between high-quality and low-quality cars when purchasing one, and buyers believe there is a 75% chance that a used car will be of high quality.
