Boris and Leo are playing an ultimatum bargaining game, with £1000 to share. Boris is the proposer. Suppose Leo has thefollowing preferences: his utility in monetary terms is the amount of money he gets minus 40 percent of Boris's amountWhich of the following statements is/are correct?a) If Leo's preferences change so that his utility in monetary terms were the amount of money he gets minus 100 percent of Boris'samount, his minimum acceptable offer would increase.b) The minimum offer Leo will accept is larger than £250.c) The description of Leo's preferences suggest that Leo is altruistic.

Utility refers to the satisfaction derived from consuming a particular good or a service. The…

3. Christina loves pizza and hates burger. Her utility function is U(p – b) = p – 6", where is the number of pizzas she consumes and b is the number of burgers she consumes. John likes both pizza and burger. His utility function is U(p, b) = p + 2\b Christina has an initial endowment of no pizzas and 8 burgers. John has an initial endowment of 16 pizzas and 8 burgers. a. Graph the initial endowment and label it E b. If Christina hates burgers and John likes them, how many burgers can Christina and John be consuming at a Pareto optimal allocation? What is John's marginal utility for pizzas and burgers? Mark the locus of Pareto optimal allocations of pizzas and burgers between Christina and John on the grapsh above.
Arif and Aisha agree to meet for a date at a local dance club next week. In their enthusiasm, they forget to agree which venue will be the site of their meeting. Luckily the town has only two dancing venues, Palms and Oasis. Having discussed their tastes in dancing venues last week, both know that Arif prefers Palms to the Oasis and Aisha prefers the Oasis to Palms. In fact, their payoffs reflect that if both go to Oasis, Aisha’s utility is 3 and Arif’s 2, while if both go to Palms Arif’s utility is 3 and Aisha’s is 2. If they do not go to the same venue, then they both have a utility of 0. (a) Write the payoff matrix and explain whether there are any pure Nash equilibria. Carefully explain what these are and why. Comment on the existence of any dominant strategy equilibria. (b) Please calculate mixed strategy equilibria, if any, and then derive the probability that Arif and Aisha will find themselves at the same venue. Carefully explain the steps to your solution; a numerical…
Two friends are deciding where to go for dinner. There are three choices, which we label A, B, and C. Max prefers A to B to C. Sally prefers B to A to C. To decide which restaurant to go to, the friends adopt the following procedure: First, Max eliminates one of three choices. Then, Sally decides among the two remaining choices. Thus, Max has three strategies (eliminate A, eliminate B, and eliminate C). For each of those strategies, Sally has two choices (choose among the two remaining). a.Write down the extensive form (game tree) to represent this game. b.If Max acts non-strategically, and makes a decision in the first period to eliminate his least desirable choice, what will the final decision be? c.What is the subgame-perfect equilibrium of the above game? d. Does your answer in b. differ from your answer in c.? Explain why or why not. Only typed Answer
You have preferences u(x,y) = xy over games (X) and videos (Y) you can buy on a platform and a $360 budget, with prices px = 9 and py = 6. How much would you be willing to pay (at most) as a subscription fee for each of the following plans (you can buy any amount of Y in each plan at the original price, unless otherwise stated): (a) Plan A : You can buy (any amount of) X at a discounted price px = 4(b) Plan B : You are given 40 units of X for free, but you cannot buy any more of X. (surely can buy any amount of Y)(c) Plan C : You are given 30 units of X for free, but you cannot buy any more of X; you also have a discounted price for good Y; py = 4.
Jia is considering whether to go out to dinner at a restaurant with her friend. The meal is expected to cost $40, Jia typically leaves a 20% tip, and an Uber will cost $5 each way. Jia values the restaurant meal at $25. Jia enjoys her friend s company and is willing to pay $30 just to spend an evening with her.
Kimberly has $1,000 per year to spend between $50 concert tickets and $200 per night getaways. Her utility maximizing combination is 8 concerts and 3 overnight getaways. She recently received a promotion on her job and now she can spend up to $2000 per year on these two items. Her new utility maximizing combination will depend in part on what? Group of answer choices The substitution effect. The income effect. The degree to which concerts and overnight getaways are normal goods or inferior goods. The fact that concerts and getaways are fungible goods.

Suppose Katie buys the bundle (20,9) from the budget line 3x_1 + 5x_2 = 105. When the price of good 1 changes to p1 = 6 and the price of good 2 remains the same, she buys the bundle (5,15). On a later date when p1 = 5 and p2 = 4, by observing Katie’s choices we can say that the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP) is violated if a) She buys the bundle (10,15). b) She buys the bundle (15,10) c) She buys the bundle (23,6) d) She buys the bundle (25,25). e) None of the above choices violates WARP.
