Question I am in possession of two coins. One is fair so that it lands heads (H) and tails (T) with equal probability while the other coin is weighted so that it always lands H. Both coins are magical: if either is flipped and lands H then a $1 bill appears in your wallet, but when it lands T nothing happens. You may only flip a coin once per period. The interest rate is i per period. You are risk-neutral and thus only concern yourself with expected values (and not variance). For simplicity, in the questions below assume you will live forever. 1. How much are you willing to pay for such a coin that you know is fair? 2. How much are you willing to pay for such a coin that you know is weighted? 3. I currently own the coins and know which is fair and which is weighted, but you cannot tell which is which. You may make an offer to purchase a coin of your choosing, which I am free to accept or reject. What is the most you are willing to offer? Explain how you arrived at this answer. 4.…
Let's say we have a game called "guess 2/3 of the average," where players can choose any number x ∈ [0, 100]. 5% of players are at level N0, 40% at level N1, 35% at level N2, 15% at level N3, and 5% at level N4. Players at level N0 choose a number randomly, while players at higher levels choose a number according to their beliefs, which are as follows: players at higher levels believe that all other players are one level lower than themselves. (a) What will be the winning number and which level players will be the winners? (b) Under the assumptions of classical game theory, the mentioned version of the game "guess 2/3 of the average" has exactly one equilibrium, in which everyone chooses the number 0. Prove that this outcome is indeed a Nash equilibrium of the game.

Jonathon and his family were negotiating a lease for commercial premises to be used for their Italian restaurant. Part of the negotiation concerned the ability of Jonathon to demolish a wall in order to remodel the interior and build a pizza oven. The landlord shook Jonathon’s hand and told him they had a deal and that he could go ahead and get started. Jonathon took out a large bank loan to finance the remodelling. Four weeks later, Jonathon received a letter from the landlord indicating that he did not intend to proceed with the lease. Jonathon has already spent $100,000 on the remodelling but he has not received a signed a lease as yet. Since there is no breach of contract, does Jonathon have any other recourse in equity?

An investor allocates $30,000 and $50,000 to two assets (A1 and A2). These assets generate 5% and -4.5% rate of returns, respectively. She allocates the remaining 50% of her portfolio to an asset (A3), which provides 4.5% rate of return. Calculate the portfolio's rate of return.
Matthew is playing snooker (more difficult variant of pool) with his friend. He is not sure which strategy to choose for his next shot. He can try and pot a relatively difficult red ball (strategy R1), which he will pot with probability 0.4. If he pots it, he will have to play the black ball, which he will pot with probability 0.3. His second option (strategy R2) is to try and pot a relatively easy red, which he will pot with probability 0.7. If he pots it, he will have to play the blue ball, which he will pot with probability 0.6. His third option, (strategy R3) is to play safe, meaning not trying to pot any ball and give a difficult shot for his opponent to then make a foul, which will give Matthew 4 points with probability 0.5. If potted, the red balls are worth 1 point each, while the blue ball is worth 5 points, and the black ball 7 points. If he does not pot any ball, he gets 0 point. By using the EMV rule, which strategy should Matthew choose? And what is his expected…

Suppose that you discount the future hyperbolically. Assume that both B and 6 are strictly greater than zero but strictly smaller than one. At t= 0, you are given the choice between the following three options: a (1 utile at t = 0), b (2 utiles at t= 1), and c (3 utiles at t = 2). As a matter of fact, at t = 0 you are indifferent between a and b and between b and c. (a) Compute B and 6. (b) Suppose, in addition, that at t= 0 you are indifferent between cand d (xutiles at t = 3). What is x?
