Although 23 states barred the self-service sale of gasoline in 1968, most removed the bans by the mid-1970s. By 1992, self-service outlets sold nearly 80% of all US gas, and only New Jersey and Oregon continued to ban self- service sales. Using predictive value for self-service sales for New Jersey and Oregon Johnson and Romeo (2000) estimate that the ban in those two states raised the price by approximately $.03-$.05 per gallon. Why did the ban effect the price? Illustrate using a figure and explain. Show the welfare effects in your figure. Use a table to show who gains or loses.

**Practice** In order to alleviate their risks, they are considering a risk-sharing agreement. Carol would buy one CC and David would buy one DD. Six months from now, they would sell their coins, add up the total amount of money, and split it equally between them. Thus, if only one of the coins is successful, they would both still have some positive amount of money at the end. Assume that they can verify whether the other really made the investment. They know whether the investment is successful, since the price of the coin is public information, and they trust that the other will pay them as promised. Which of the following statements is accurate?A. They will not make that risk-sharing agreement.B. Carol is willing to take the risk-sharing agreement, but David is not.C. They may be willing to make that risk-sharing agreement, but it depends on information not given in the question.D. They will surely make the risk-sharing agreement.E. None of the statements above is correct.
Consider a city where everyone commutes to the city center and commuting cost per mile per month is $40. Each household occupies a 1,000-square-foot dwelling and has $7,000 worth of possessions in its dwelling. The probability that any particular household will be burglarized (involving the uninsured loss of all possessions) is 0.10 at the city center and decreases by 0.01 per mile (to 0.09 at one mile, 0.08 at two miles, and so on). The housing price is $1.00 per square foot at the city center. a) Draw the housing-price curve for locations up to five miles from the city center.

Three players (player 1, player 2 and player 3) each chooses a positive integer QE {1, 2, 3, . 100}. If all three players choose the same integer Q, each player gets $100/3. If all three players choose different integers, the player with the largest integer gets $100, and the two other players get $0. If two players choose the same integer Q, and the third player chooses a different integer Q', then the player playing Q' gets $0, and the two players who played Q get $50 each.

The small family company that you manage has invested $35,000 in developing a new product, but the development is not quite finished. At a recent meeting, your family company management team predicts that the introduction of competing products has reduced the expected sales of your new product to $30,000. If your company receives zero profit for an unfinished product, and if it would cost $10,000 to finish development and make the product, you go ahead and do so. The most your family company should spend to complete development is O should; $30,000 O should; $20,000 O should; $10,000 O should not; $0
