Aang and Bolin are playing a simultaneous-move game where they seek to maximiz their utility functions. Assume that Aang chooses strategy a and Bolin chooses strategy band that their strategy spaces are continuous. Their utility functions are: • Aang's utility: UA = a(a - b-2) • Bolin's utility: UB = -b(b-a-8) What is the pure-strategy Nash equilibrium in this game? Write Aang's choice for a in blank #1 and Bolin's choice for bin blank #2. Blank # 1 Blank # 2

4-5 Processing Insurance Claims Your insurance firm processes claims through its newer, larger, high-tech facility and its older, smaller, low-tech facility. Each month, the high-tech facility handles 10,000 claims, incurs $100,000 in fixed costs and $100,000 in variable costs. Each month, the low-tech facility handles 2,000 claims, incurs $16,000 in fixed costs and $24,000 in variable costs. If you anticipate a decrease in the number of claims, where will you lay off workers?
2. Exercise 8.2 Howard Bowen is a large-scale cotton farmer. The land and machinery he owns has a current market value of $12 million. Bowen owes his local bank $9 million. Last year Bowen sold $11 million worth of cotton. His variable operating costs were $9 million; accounting depreciation was $40,000, although the actual decline in value of Bowen's machinery was $60,000 last year. Bowen paid himself a salary of $50,000, which is not considered part of his variable operating costs. Interest on his bank loan was $400,000. If Bowen worked for another farmer or a local manufacturer, his annual income would be about $30,000. Bowen can invest any funds that would be derived if the farm were sold to earn 10% annually. (Ignore taxes.) What is Bowen's accounting profit? O $1,560,000 O $1,550,000 O $1,220,000.00 O $1,210,000.00 What is Bowen's economic profit? O $1,550,000 O $1,210,000.00 O $1,560,000 O $1,220,000.00
1-18 Katherine D’Ann is planning to finance her college education by selling programs at the football games for State University. There is a fixed cost of $400 for printing these programs, and the variable cost is $3. There is also a $1,000 fee that is paid to the university for the right to sell these programs. If Katherine was able to sell programs for $5 each, how many would she have to sell in order to break even?
