Tex-House builds and sells houses for $200,000 each. The firms fixed costs are $3,000,000. 50 houses are built and sold each year. Profits total about $2,000,000. The firm estimates that it can change its production process by adding 4,000,000 to investment and $1,000,000 to fixed costs. This would reduce variable costs by $30,000 and increase output by 30 units. To permit sales of the new output, prices would have to be lowered by $20,000 per unit. Should the firm make the change? At the new production level, what price would make profits equal zero? Will the new production situation expose the firm to more or less risk?

If you ask them, how much would they say that they lost in terms of value when the price dropped from £95 to £70? Person B bought the stock in October and uses the peak price as their reference point. If you ask them, how much would they say that they lost in terms of value in January? In January, which month should Person B rather use as reference point in order to maximize their value? (d) [ Person C bought the stock in March.

Problem 2 Archibald Architecture and Erin's Engineers are two firms that are working together to build a new li- brary for the local community. They must each contribute some amount of resources to the build: Archibald will contribute a units of resources at a cost of a², and Erin will contribute e units at a cost of 2e². The final value of the build is 10(a + e -ae), which Archibald and Erin split equally, so that each receives a revenue of 5(a + e - ae). (a) Write down Archibald and Erin's payoff functions. (b) Suppose that the only resource contribution options available are 0,1 and 2. Archibald and Erin must make their decisions simultaneously without consulting one another. i.
