Please no written by hand solutions eBay is the largest online auction site. Sellers pay a small fee to list their items, which can be sold at a fixed price or auctioned. Generally, the auction lasts several days, and the bidders submit electronics bids. After the auction closes, the highest bidder receives an email and gets three business days to contact the seller. eBay provides ratings on buyers and sellers based on their positive and negative comments. eBay has set up policies to guard against ‘feedback manipulation’ and ‘feedback abuse.’ eBay encouraged buyers to pay through ‘PayPal’ and ‘PayPal’ provides $2000 free insurance in case the buyer doesn’t receive the product or the quality of the product is poorer than expected. eBay’s safety staff investigates alleged misuses at eBay, such as fraud, trading offenses, and illegally listed items. A potential resolution is banning a seller from future trading on eBay. Based on the above situation, answer the following questions: What…

A reserve price is a minimum price set by the auctioneer. If no bidder is willing to pay the reserve price, the item is unsold at a profit of $0 for the auctioneer. If only one bidder values the item at or above the reserve price, that bidder pays the reserve price. An auctioneer faces two bidders, each with a value of either $39 or $104, with both values equally probable. Without a reserve price, the second highest bid will be the price paid by the winning bidder. The following table lists the four possible combinations of bidder values. Each combination is equally likely to occur. On the following table, indicate the price paid by the winning bidder with and without the stated reserve price. Bidder 1 Value Bidder 2 Value Probability Price Without Reserve? Price with $104 Reserve Price? ($) ($) ($) $39 $39 0.25 $39 $104 0.25 $104 $39 0.25 $104 $104 0.25 Without a reserve price, the expected price is…
Taylor, Faith, Jay, and Jessica are college roommates. They're trying to decide where the four of them should go for spring break: Orlando or Las Vegas. If they order the tickets by 11:00 PM on February 1, the cost will be just $500 per person. If they miss that deadline, the cost rises to $1,200 per person. The following table shows the benefit (in dollar terms) that each roommate would get from the two trips. Roommate Taylor Benefit from Orlando Benefit from Las Vegas Faith $1,250 $800 $550 $800 Jay Jessica $650 $600 $850 $1,050 The roommates tend to put off making decisions. So, when February 1 rolls around and they still haven't made a decision, they schedule a vote for 10:00 PM that night. In case of a tie, they will flip a coin between the two vacation destinations. The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to Given the individual benefits each roommate receives from the two trips, which trip will each roommate vote for?

Two employees witness fraud committed in their firm. Each has two pure strategies: to become a whistleblower and report a crime, or not to report a crime. Each employee gets a payoff of 1 if the crime is reported by someone (it does not matter if both or only one employee reports). However, reporting the crime is costly. An employee who reports has to pay the cost of reporting equal to 0.5-0.25*d, where d=1 if the other employee also reports, and d=0 otherwise. Suppose that employees simultaneously decide to report or not. There is a unique mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in this game where each employee reports with the same positive probability less than 1. What is the probability that the crime is reported by at least one employee in such an equilibrium? ________
We have a group of three friends: Kramer, Jerry and Elaine. Kramer has a $10 banknote that he will auction off, and Jerry and Elaine will be bidding for it. Jerry and Elaine have to submit their bids to Kramer privately, both at the same time. We assume that both Jerry and Elaine only have $2 that day, and the available strategies to each one of them are to bid either$0, $1 or $2. Whoever places the highest bid, wins the $10 banknote. In case of a tie (that is, if Jerry and Elaine submit the same bid), each one of them gets $5. Regardless of who wins the auction, each bidder has to pay to Kramer whatever he or she bid. Does Jerry have any strictly dominant strategy? Does Elaine?
Fred wants to hire Barney to manage his retail store. Barney can apply a high level of effort (at a cost to him of $30), a medium level of effort (at a cost to him of $10), or a low level of effort (at a cost to him of $0). Fred's profits depend not only of the level of Barney's effort but also on the state of consumer demand. Fred believes that demand will be high with probability 50 percent (and therefore demand will be low with probability 50 percent). Fred has determined the following possible profit levels (before paying Barney) will occur depending on Barney's effort and the state of consumer demand: Demand low high effort low 20 40 medium 40 80 high 80 100 Of the choices below, what is the largest percentage range of profit provided to Barney that would ensure Barney would supply high effort? a. any percent greater than 75.00 percent (3/4). b. any percent greater than 66.66 percent (2/3). c. any percent greater than 50.00 percent (1/2).d. any…
Jan wants to buy a house, but her friend Kan is a much tougher negotiator. They devise a plan where Kan will tell the seller of the house that she is Jan’s agent and will make all the decisions with respect to any purchase of the house. They also agree that Kan actually will have no such authority and that Jan is the only one who will make any decisions relating to purchasing the house. They meet with the seller, and Kan says that she is Jan’s agent while Jan says nothing. Has an agency been created? Discuss in details the pros and cons of this case.
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.
