In the used-car market there are good cars and bad cars. Everyone knows that half of the used cars are good and half of them are bad, but only the owner knows exactly whether his particular car is good or bad. If a car is good, it is worth $3000 to its owner but worth $4000 to a potential buyer. A bad car, on the other hand, is worth only $2000 to its owner and $1000 to a potential buyer. A potential buyer has no way of telling whether a particular car is good or bad. However, she is aware of the fact that the seller knows the car's quality.

The adverse selection problem is least likely in which of the following occupations? explain Lawyer Barber College professor Marketing Analyst Manager
In Hayward, there are 100 people who want to sell their used cars. Everybody knows that 50 of these cars are "lemons" and 50 of these cars are "peaches." The problem is that nobody except the original owners know which are which. Owners of lemons will be happy to get rid of their cars for any price greater than $200. Owners of peaches will be willing to sell them for any price greater than $1,500 but will keep them if they can't get $1,500. There are a large number of buyers who would be willing to pay $2,500 for a peach but would pay only $300 for a lemon. When these buyers are not sure of the quality of the car they buy, they are willing to pay the expected value of the car, given the knowledge they have. If all 100 used cars in Hayward were for sale, how much would buyers be willing to pay for a used car? Type the number without the thousands separator or $ sign.

John wants to buy a used car. He knows that there are two types of car in the market, plums and lemons. Lemons are worse quality cars and are more likely to break down than plums. John is willing to pay £10, 000 for a plum and £2, 000 for a lemon. Unfortunately, however, he cannot distinguish between the two types. Sellers can offer a warranty that would cover the full cost of any repair needed by the car for y ∗ years. Considering the type and likelihood of problems their cars can have, owners of plums estimate that y years of guarantee would cost them 1000y, owners of lemons estimate that the cost would be 2000y. John knows these estimates and decides to offer £10, 000 if a car comes with y ∗ years of warranty, £2, 000 if a car comes without warranty. For which values of y ∗ is there a separating equilibrium where only owners of plums are willing to offer the y ∗ -years warranty? Clearly explain your reasoning.
