sale. Suppose that each owner of an orange Citrus values it at $12,000; he is willing to part with it for price of at least $12,000, but not lower than this. Similarly, each owner of a lemon Citrus values it $4,000. Suppose that potential buyers are willing to pay more for each type. If a buyer could be con dent that the car he was buying was an orange, he would be willing to pay $15,000 for it; if the car was known lemon, he would be willing to pay $5,000. Suppose that there are many buyers, but a limited number of used cars. What type of used cars lemons or oranges - will be offered for sale in the market, and at what prices?

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.

Consider a modified Traveler’s Dilemma. In terms of strategy options that the players have and the dollars they earn, it is like the standard Traveler’s Dilemma, but the players do not have endless appetite for money. Up to 100 dollars, each dollar feels like a dollar. But any moneybeyond 100 is psychologically like 100 dollars. Assuming that players are maximizers of ‘psychological’ dollars instead of real dollars, describe all the Nash equilibria of this modified Traveler’s Dilemma.

Kayla and Kevin are friends who go together to a used textbook seller who has two copies ofthe biology book that they both need for their class this semester. The cost to the seller ofacquiring the books was $25 each and no other students will need this book. Kayla states thatshe is willing to pay $40 for the book, while Kevin says he is willing to pay $80. Which ofthe following describes the most likely conclusion to this scenario? Group of answer choices The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $40 each because if they tried tocharge Kevin a higher price, Kayla would engage in arbitrage. The seller will sell one book to Kayla for $40 and one book to Kevin for $80 because thismarket meets all three requirements for price discrimination. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $80 each because Kevin's highervalue exceeds Kayla's willingness to pay. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $25 each because that is howmuch the…

An old lady is looking for help crossing the street. Only one person is needed to help her; if more people help her, this is no better. You and I are the two people in the vicinity who can help; we have to choose simultaneously whether to do so. Each of us will get pleasure worth a 3 from her success (no matter who helps her), But each one who goes to help will bear a cost of 1, this being the value of our time taken up in helping. If neither player helps, the payoff for each player is zero. Set up this game in strategic form.
“To be or not to be, that is the question.” Imagine that in answering this question Hamlet had the following data to consider. Hamlet must choose either “To Be” or “Not to Be.” If Hamlet chooses “To Be” then his enemy the King will make a decision to either “Kill” Hamlet or let him “Live.” If Hamlet is killed by the King his payoff in this game is 200 since he will have been killed by the King who is his uncle and who also killed Hamlet’s father, the King’s brother, who was the prior king. If the King decides to let Hamlet Live then Hamlet will be able to avenge his father’s death and his payoff will be +300. Hamlet also considers suicide an option but given the uncertainty of the afterlife if he chooses not to be then his payoff is +100 since his doesn’t what the afterlife holds for one who kills himself. Draw the complete game tree for this situation. Be sure to accurately label the tree and include the payoffs. Assume Hamlet will choose the course of action that offers the highest…
4. Sonia the Terrible lands her ship and crew of scurvy-pirate raiders onto a foreign beach. Up on the headland is a village, led by Jen the Brave. At this point, Sonia has a choice: she can SLASH her water barrels, eliminating her water supplies; or she can NOT SLASH, which keeps her water supplies completely intact. Having seen the action taken by Sonia, Jen can choose to CHARGE or to WAIT. The payoffs are as follows: if Sonia the Terrible chooses to SLASH and Jen CHARGES, the payoffs are (100, 20) to Sonia and Jen, respectively. If Sonia SLASHES and Jen WAITS, the payoffs are (10, 30). On the other hand, if Sonia chooses to NOT SLASH and Jen CHARGES, the payoff is (20, 15). If Sonia opts to NOT SLASH and Jen chooses to WAIT, the payoffs are (40, 10), respectively. What is the subgame perfect (or credible) equilibrium outcome? a. Sonia the Terrible chooses to SLASH; Jen the Brave chooses to CHARGE b. Sonia the Terrible chooses to NOT SLASH; Jen the Brave chooses to WAIT c. Sonia the…
