COVID-19 has caused several shortages: paper products, hand sanitizer, and even nurses. When a hospital needs nurses, they might call Fastaff, which has been sending its nurses all around the country. Once a nurse gets an assignment, they pack their bags and need to be there within a week. During a pandemic, these assignments come with some risk, but these nurses are well compensated for their time. “They really run into the fire,” explained Fastaff Senior VP of Marketing Lauren Pasquale-Bartlett. “They’re very brave, they’re like the special forces of nursing. They go in for these really critical assignments.” The need for traveling nurses across the country has increased drastically because of the coronavirus pandemic. One of the state’s needing nurses is Ohio, according to Pasquale-Bartlett. “Particularly in the last few weeks we’ve seen a two to three increase in demand in requests for nurses to come in and support the staff,” she said. “That really indicates to us that it’s an…

A computer reseller needs to decide how many laptops to order next month. The lowest end laptop costs $220 and the retailer can sell these for $300. However, the laptop manufacturer already announced that they are coming out with a new model in a couple of months. Any laptops that will not be sold by the end of next month will have to be heavily discounted at half-price. The reseller also needs to consider that every time he fails to fulfill a laptop order, he stands to lose $25 for every unit. Based on the past months’ sales, the reseller estimates the demand probabilities for sales (S) as follows: P(0 units) = 0.3; P(1 units) = 0.4; P(2 units) = 0.2; P(3 units) =0.1. The reseller thinks it’s a good idea to conduct a survey on whether or not his customers are going to buy laptops and how many. The survey results will either be Yes (Y), No (N) or Don’t Know (DK). The probability estimates of the results based on the demand for number of units are: P(Y|S = 0 units) = 0.1 P(Y|S = 1…
You consider buying a lot on which you will build a small apartment complex. The asking price for the lot is $2,000,000 and the estimated cost to build the apartment complex is $5,000,000 (construction should take one year). One year from the date you intend to purchase the lot the city is going to make an important decision regarding the use of the land just across from your lot. You believe that there is a 35% chance that the decision would be favorable to you and a 65% chance that it would be unfavorable. In case of a favorable or unfavorable outcome your complex should generate an NOI of $400,000 or $300,000 respectively. For simplicity, you may assume that at any time you can sell your complex for a 5% CAP and your required rate of return is 8%. a. Calculate the value of the lot using the traditional approach.b. Calculate the value of the lot using the real option approach.c. Should you buy the lot?d. In case that you decided to buy the lot, should you build the apartment complex…

Eric has a job at an electronics store in a mall. Eric doesn't like to work hard, and it costs him $100 to do so. Eric's employer cannot observe whether Eric works hard or not. If Eric works hard, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day. If Eric shirks, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal S100 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day. Suppose Eric is paid $200 if electronics goods profits are $400 a day and $50 if electronics goods profits are S100 a day. Eric will because the net gain of from shirking is than the net gain of from working hard. O shirk; $87.50; more; $62.50 O shirk; $125; more; $118 O work hard; S50; less; $62.50 O work hard; $100; less; $250

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.…
Suppose that you own a used car dealership. You want to sell a 2005 Honda Civic LX. You know that this car is of high quality, and it cost you $5000 to acquire it (so you will not sell it at a price below $5000). However, consumers cannot see the quality of the car at the time of purchase. They believe that 25% of the cars in the used car market are high-quality cars and 75% are low-quality cars or “lemons.” A typical lemon costs $2000 to acquire (so you will not sell it at a price below $2000). Consumers are eager to buy and are willing to pay up to $3000 for a lemon and $6000 for a high-quality car. From now on, suppose that only you (the seller) know the quality of the cars. (Buyers do not know the quality, but know the proportion of high- and low-quality cars in the market). Suppose that you could offer bumper-to-bumper warranties. You know that offering a warranty on a high-quality car costs, on average, $450 per year of warranty offered, while a warranty on a lemon is very…
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.
Once your producers understand the “I WANT $3” game, you will present the “I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE” game. Its rules are: There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). Each player is given $1 million at the start of the game. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose to add to their award $0, $1, $2, $3, $4, ……$999,999, or $1,000,000. Doing so decreases the other player’s award by twice that amount. Each player ends the game with a payoff based on their initial one million, the additional amount that they announced, and the reduction due to the opponent’s announcement. The game matrix for this expanded game has 1,000,001 rows, 1,000,001 columns, and 1,000,002,000,001 pairs of payoffs. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT DRAW IT! But building on what you learned in part (a), answer the following two questions: i) What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? ii) What are the Nash…
Demand for your firm's products is related to the state of the economy. If the economy is expanding next year, the company estimates sales to be $120 million. If there is a recession next year, sales are assessed to be $40 million. Otherwise, sales are estimated at $70 million. Economists have estimated the chances that the economy will be either expanding, in a recession, or normal next year to be 20%, 30%, and 50% respectively. Calculate the expected annual sales. Enter your numerical answer: expected annual sales: $ million
