In November 2008, parking rates were increased substantially for the "Big Blue Deck" at Detroit's Metro Airport. According to an article in a local newspaper, "In December,...after parking rates jumped from $10 to $16 a day...fewer cars used the Big Blue Deck compared to the previous year.... Still, the move at the North Terminal structure brought in about $61,000 more than the previous December...." Year December 2007 December 2008 Rate $10 $16 Revenue $1,387,000 $1,448,000 Sources: Mary Francis Masson, "Metro Airport Parking Rate Hikes Worry Employees," Detroit Free Press, February 14, 2009; and Tanveer Ali, "Parking Dips; Revenue Soars," Detroit News, February 13, 2009. Use the information in the table above to calculate the price elasticity of demand for parking spaces at the Big Blue Deck using the midpoint formula. Assume that nothing happened between December 2007 and December 2008 to shift the demand curve for parking places. Price elasticity of demand is -0.91. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. Be sure to include the minus sign.) Given the price elasticity of demand that you just calculated, the demand for parking in the "Big Blue Deck" at Detroit's Metro Airport is elastic inelastic

Mete is Esra's boyfriend. Esra is expecting a marriage proposal from Mete. Today is Sunday. Mete says Esra that: (1) he is going to propose Esra on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday, at 10:00 pm. (2) he knows right now the day when he will propose (3) but the day of proposal will be a surprise to Esra: On the day of the proposal, she would not be expecting the proposal that day. Esra says Mete that what he says is impossible. Explain why Esra is right in a few sentences.
Nn3 Suppose an incumbent monopoly firm currently earns a profit of $50,000 per period. A potential entrant could enter and make a profit of $15,000 per period while also lowering the incumbent’s profit to $20,000 per period. The monopoly firm could seek to engage in predatory pricing, which would lead to both firms earning a loss of $5,000 per period. (a) Is there a Nash Equilibrium in this game? If so, what is it? (b) Discuss how this game might play out in the real world?

[3%] 4. Consider the two-player game shown in the table below. Player 1 chooses between four possible strategies: A, B, C and D. Player 2 can choose among three possible strategies: a, b and c. In each cell of the table, the first number is the payoff for Player 1, the second number is the payoff for Player 2. Higher numbers represent higher payoffs. Player 2 a b C A 2,-2 4,0 -6,-2 B Player 1 4,-4 3,-3 9, 1 C 2,6 -1,4 6,4 D 6,2 0,4 -9,0 (a) Simplify the game as far as possible using the iterated deletion of strictly dominated strategies. Clearly explain the steps of your reasoning. [2%] (b) Identify any pure strategy Nash equilibria of the simplified game derived in part (a). [1%] (c) Identify any mixed strategy Nash equilibria of the simplified game derived in part (a). Write down the best response function for each player. Draw these functions Page 3 of 5

TRUE/FALSE One reason that tax revenue may fall when tax rates are increased is due to tax evasion, that is, the higher the tax rate, the higher the probability of the tax evasion and thus, lower tax revenue. The example I used was when Canada quadrupled the tax rate on cigarettes Canadian citizens sought out to buy illegally smuggled in US cigarettes to evade the tax on Canadian cigarettes.
