The following information can be used to answer Questions #10-11. Assume that 2 individuals, College Student and Professor, are participating in a game we'll call the Final Exam game. The student must decide between studying for their final exam, vs partying with friends and not studying at all. We'll characterize that choice as study vs party. Our professor must also choose between writing a hard exam and an easy exam. Teaching evaluations are in and our professor has tenure, so we'll assume the professor doesn't worry about the reaction of students to either type of exam (ie, no ex post benefits or costs), and we'll assume that it isn't clear whether one type of exam is easier to grade. We will assume that writing a harder exam does take a lot more effort than writing an easy exam. We will characterize the payoffs for each player as the Net Benefit they derive from each of the four possible outcomes. The professor's Net Benefit is expressed as NBp, and the college student's Net…
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 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.

MCQ 27 Consider the following game in which two firms (OLD and NEW) are considering whether or not to advertise to increase sales. Each firm knows that the impact on profits depends on what the other firm chooses to do. The possible profit outcomes of the game are shown below, with OLD's profits shown as the first number in each pair and NEW's profits shown as the second number: NEW Advertise Not Advertise Advertise 10, 5 15, 1 OLD Not Advertise 5, 8 20, 3 Assuming the firms aim to earn as much profit as possible, which of the following is TRUE for the game? A I do not want to answer this question. OLD's dominant strategy is to advertise C OLD's dominant strategy is not to advertise NEW's dominant strategy is not to advertise E NEW's dominant strategy is to advertise F the dominant strategy for both OLD and NEW is to advertise
16-1. Two equal sized newspaper have an overlap in circulation of 10% (10% of the subscribers subscribe to both newspaper). Advertisers are willing to pay $10 to advertise in one newspaper but only $19 to advertise in both , because they’re are unwilling to pay twice to reach the same subscribers. What’s the likely bargaining negotiation outcome if the advertisers bargain by telling each newspaper that they’re going to reach an agreement with the other newspaper so the gains to reaching agreement are only $9? Suppose the two newspaper merge. What is the likely post merger bargaining outcome?
Brown’s TV Production is considering producing a pilot for a comedy series for a major network. While the network may reject the pilot and series, it may also purchase the program for 1 or 2 years. Brown may produce the pilot or transfer the rights for the series to a competitor for $100,000. Brown’s profits are summarized in the following payoff table (profits in thousands). sate of nature reject 1 year 2 years produce pilot -100 50 150 sell to competitor 100 100 100 If the probability estimates for the states of nature are, P(reject)=0.20, P(1 year)=0.30, and P(2 years)=0.5, what is the maximum Brown should be willing to pay for inside information on what the network will do?
High Price | Low Price X = $625 X = $725 Firm Y Low Price High Price Y = $625 Y = $475 X = $475 X = $400 Y = $725 Y = $400 Answer the question based on the payoff matrix for a duopoly in which the numbers indicate the profit in thousands of dollars for a high-price or a low-price strategy. The structure of the payoffs suggests that Multiple Choice O both firms have a dominant strategy. there is no Nash equilibrium. If this is a repeated game, firms will maximize long-run profits by alternating high and low prices. there are first-mover advantages if this is a sequential game. e/ R monc C Inc Can There are 4 ster
