Film producer S costs c=20 to produce one film. B, an online movie distributor, earns v=120 if the movie is distributed. In order for B to distribute the movie, it must be purchased from S. If there is no transaction between S and B, each earns a profit of zero. Find the sum of S's profit and B's profit by the transaction price formed when S and B's bargaining power is 50:50.

Mike and Sophie are splitting up and need to decide who will get the car they purchased together. Using the method of sealed bids, Mike bids $5,000 and Sophie bids $4,500 for the car. Since Mike's bid is higher, he gets the car, and has to compensate Sophie with cash. How much will he have to pay Sophie in order to keep the division fair?
QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)
Suppose that there are two firms in the market. The market demand is given by P=220 - 2Q, where Q is the total output (Q=Q1+Q2). Each firm has an identical cost function, TCi=8Qi, i=1, 2. Consider the collusion, in which they decide the output level together to maximize the joint profit. If they divide the production into half, then each firm should produce Qi= _______ units in order to maximize the joint profit.
Suppose a $1 bill is to be divided between two players according to a simultaneous-move, one-shot bargaining game. Is there a Nash equilibrium to the bargaining game if the smallest unit in which the money can be divided is $0.01? Assume that if the players ask for more in total than is available, they go home empty-handed.

Suppose that Firm 1 and Firm 2 are Stackelberg competitors in the market for popsicles. Firm 1 is the leader and Firm 2 is the follower. They have the same cost functions such that MC = 4. Market demand for popsicles is given by QD = 38 – 0.5P. Use this information to answer questions #1 and #2. 1. How many popsicles will Firm 1 produce in the SPE of this game? a. 91 6 b. q1 = 9 12 91 d. 91 с. 18 e. q1 = 36 %3D 2. If these firms were Cournot competitors, then compared to the outcome in #1 (Hint: No calculations necessary.) a. Firm 1 would earn more profit, and Firm 2 would earn less profit. b. Firm 1 would earn less profit, and firm 2 would earn more profit. c. Both firms would earn less profit. d. Both firms would earn more profit. The firms' profits would be the same, but industry-wide profit would be lower.
