Consider the setup from Question 1. Janet offers her friend Sam (who has identical preferences and initial wealth) thefollowing proposition: They buy the ticket together, and share the cost and proceeds equally.Janet's broad attitude to risk (risk averse, risk neutral, or risk loving) is independent of her wealth. She has initial wealthw and is offered the opportunity to buy a lottery ticket. If she buys it, her final wealth will be either w + 4 or w – 2, eachequally likely. She is indifferent between buying the ticket and not buying it. Consider the setup from Question 1 and 2. Sam has another idea: They buy two tickets (that have independent outcomes)and share the costs and proceeds equally.Is this better than buying no tickets?a. Yes, Sam's solution is preferable to buying no ticket.b. Yes, Sam's solution is inferior to buying no ticket.C.Both Janet and Sam would be indifferent between pooling their risk and buying no ticket.d. There is not enough information to answer this question.

Here, it is given that both, Janet and Sam have identical preferences that is they both are…

Your friend is contemplating buying a local restaurant. He has assessed the lifetime profits, including resale, to be $11 million with 20% chance, $6 million with 60% chance or $3 million with 20% chance. Knowing the most your friend would pay for the restaurant is $6.4 million, what can you infer about the situation? O A. The expected payoff of the restaurant is $6.333 million, the risk-discount being offered by your friend is $77.000 and your friend is risk averse with respect to this purchase. O B. The expected payoff of the restaurant is $6.4 million, the risk-premium being required by your friend $0 and your friend is risk neutral with respect to this purchase. o C. The expected payoff of the restaurant is $6.4 million, the risk-premium being required by your friend $200,000 and your friend is risk seeking with respect to this purchase. O D. The expected payoff of the restaurant is $6.333 million, the risk-premium being required by your friend is $333,000 and your friend is risk…

1. Use the following game tree to answer parts a & b. At a chance node (Nature's turn) or when a player is indifferent between strategies, each branch has equal likelihood (50% chance they take either path). Nature receives no payoff. Assume players are mistake proof. Use a complete strategy when discussing the results of this game and provide a payoff, even if that payoff is an expected one. Recall that an expected payoff is the "average" payoff: for example if with 50% chance we receive a payoff of 5 and with 50% chance we receive a payoff of 2, the expected payoff is .5 x 5+ .5 x 2 = 3.5 a. What is the outcome of the game? Assume players are risk neutral (i.e., they see no difference in getting a payoff of 5 vs an expected payoff of 5).

Firms A and B are contemplating whether or not to invest in R&D. Each has two options: “Invest” and “Abstain.” A firm that invests will invent product X with a probability of 0.5, whereas a firm that abstains is incapable of invention. Investment costs $6. If a firm doesn’t invent X, it makes $0 in revenue. If a firm invests and is the only one to invent X, it becomes a monopolist and generates $20 in revenue. If both firms invent X, each firm becomes a duopolist, and generates $8 in revenue. Revenues are gross figures (i.e. they are not net of investment costs), and there are no costs besides investments costs (i.e. no variable cost of production etc.). The firms are risk-neutral entities, and are uninformed of each other’s investment decisions. The “research and development” game is best analyzed as a simultaneous move game, because the parties lack information about each other’s investment decisions. Find the Nash Equilibria (or Equilibrium) of the “research and development”…
