1. Jack is considering selling his elliptical machine, which he never really used, is high quality, and has been taking up space in his spare bedroom. He lists it on Facebook Marketplace for "$1,200 or best offer" but in reality won't sell it for less than $1,000. Lina is looking to purchase a used elliptical machine. For a high-quality elliptical, she is willing to pay up to $1,300, and for a low-quality elliptical, she is willing to pay $600. Lina is risk neutral but she cannot tell if the elliptical machine is high quality or low quality. If she believes that 60% of used elliptical machines are high quality and 40% are low quality, what is the maximum price that Lina would be willing to pay? Would Jack agree to this price?

In Hayward, there are 100 people who want to sell their used cars. Everybody knows that 50 of these cars are "lemons" and 50 of these cars are "peaches." The problem is that nobody except the original owners know which are which. Owners of lemons will be happy to get rid of their cars for any price greater than $200. Owners of peaches will be willing to sell them for any price greater than $1,500 but will keep them if they can't get $1,500. There are a large number of buyers who would be willing to pay $2,500 for a peach but would pay only $300 for a lemon. When these buyers are not sure of the quality of the car they buy, they are willing to pay the expected value of the car, given the knowledge they have. If all 100 used cars in Hayward were for sale, how much would buyers be willing to pay for a used car? Type the number without the thousands separator or $ sign.
