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.
Two travelers own an identical suitcase that contains identical antiques. The airline is liable for a maximum of $100 per suitcase. To determine how much to reimburse each traveler, the airline puts them in different rooms (so that they cannot communicate), and ask them to write down an amount (an integer number) between $2 and $100. If both write down the same number, the airline will reimburse both travelers that amount. However, if the two amounts are different, both travelers will be paid the lowest of the two numbers along with a bonus/malus: $2 extra will be paid to the traveler who wrote down the lower value and a $2 deduction will be taken from the person who wrote down the higher amount. What are the travelers’ best response functions? What are the Nash equilbria of the game? Are they Pareto efficient? Explain the intuition why.

7. Jane and Joe are a wealthy couple. In part, this wealth is attributable to Jane’s highly successful limousine business. Although Joe has been involved somewhat in the limousine business, he has a variety of other ventures and assets. Jane decides it should be clearly established that she had legal control over the limousine business and how it is run. As a result, the two enter into a contract pursuant to which Jane foregoes all claims to all business ventures in exchange for Joe agreeing to do the same with respect to the limousine business. At the time, the limousine business has an FMV of $2 million and a basis of $500,000. Joe has the equivalent aggregate FMV and basis in his businesses. What are the tax consequences to Jane and Joe respectively?
Lwando owns a delicatessen, namely Foodies Paradise. Lwando has determined that he needs R5 000 cash per day for customer transactions. Lwando has a choice between going to the bank first thing on Monday morning to withdraw R25 000 - enough cash for the whole week - or going to the bank first thing every morning for R5 000 each time. Lwando puts the cost of going to the bank at R6 per trip. Assume that funds left in the bank earn precisely enough interest to keep their purchasing power unaffected by inflation. Lwando's delicatessen is open 5 days a week for 48 weeks each year. If Lwando goes to the bank every day when the inflation rate is 5%, then the daily trips to the bank would result in net and Lwando's annual shoe leather costs of inflation equal_. Select one: a. loss of R652; R1 152 O b. savings of R652; R1 152 loss of R500; R1 440 d. savings of R500; R1 440
Multiple choice D,E,F filed an action for annulment of contracts against X Bank. They claimed that X Bank induced them to avail of its credit facilities by offering low interest rates so they accepted X Bank’s proposal and signed the bank’s pre-printed promissory notes on various dates. They, however, were unaware that the documents contained identical escalation clauses granting X Bank authority to increase interest rates without their consent. X Bank, asserted that D,E,F knowingly accepted all the terms and conditions contained in the promissory notes. In fact, they continuously availed of and benefited from X Bank’s credit facilities for five years. After trial, the Regional Trial Court (RTC) upheld the validity of the promissory notes.

Consider a financial market with two assets: peaches and lemons. The fraction of lemons in the economy is λ = 0.4. Buyers value peaches at up = $20 and lemons at v= $10. Sellers value peaches at vs = $16 and lemons at vi = $8. Sellers have all the bargaining power when setting prices at which assets trade. a) Assume both buyer and sellers can perfectly observe the quality of assets in the market. At what price will lemons and peaches trade? b) Now assume that the quality of assets is unobservable, but that buyers and sellers have symmetric information. That is, neither sellers or buyers can tell whether a particular asset is a lemon or a peach. What is the (pooling) price P* at which assets trade? c) Now assume that only sellers can observe the quality of assets, so that there is asym- metric information between buyers and sellers. Explain (intuitively, without equations) why the quality of assets traded in equilibrium will now depend on the price. d) Calculate the share of lemons that…
In many cities, discount clubs are popular. For a fixed annual fee (paid in advance) one can purchase goods at 90% of their listed price (in other words, 10% off the list price); otherwise, one pays the list price. Suppose that the annual fee is $300 and the interest rate on your savings account is 5%. Finally, assume discount club's list prices are the same as any other store, and you plan to spend $4000 over the coming year at this store. (Hint: the interest represents an opportunity cost of purchasing a membership). benefit not buying is a membership I dollars and the cost of not buying The of a membership is dollars.

Ben Hunt operated a farm under the name of S.B.H. Farms. Hunt went to Mollary Bank and Trust and requested a loan to build hog houses, buy livestock, and expand farming operations. The bank agreed to loan S.B.H. Farms $175,000, for which short-term promissory notes were signed by Hunt. At the same time, oral discussions were held with the loan officer regarding long-term financing for the farm operations. No dollar amount, interest rate, or repayment terms were discussed. When Hunt defaulted on the short-term notes, the bank foreclosed on the farm. Hunt counterclaimed for $750,000 damages, alleging that the bank had breached a contract for long-term financing. Was there a valid offer for long-term financing offered by the bank?
Fatima has a credit card account with Bank Muscat (BM). The bank is considering whether to raise Fatima’s credit card interest rate.

If BM does nothing and Fatima transfer her account to NBO then BM receives -100 while Fatima receives -40 OMR 1)Draw the game with the help of a tree chart.
1. Suppose that you are in charge of purchasing for a U.S. corporation that is planning to acquire a large number of new computers. The company's computer specialist has identified two models, one Japanese-made and one U.S.-made, that meet the necessary specifications. Since the two models are essentially equivalent, the company will buy the one with the lower price. Suppose the U.S.-made computer costs $2,400, and a similar Japanese-made computer costs 242,000 yen. If the nominal exchange rate is 110 yen per dollar, which computer is a better buy? (Hint: calculate the real exchange rate for computers)
