Chapter 2, Problem 53E

A law firm has seven partners: a senior partner ( P 1 ) with 6 votes and six junior partners ( P 2  through  P 7 ) with 1 vote each. The quota is a simple majority of the votes. (This law firm operates as the weighted voting system [7: 6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1].)

a. In how many sequential coalitions is the senior partner P 1 the pivotal player? (Hint: First note that P 1 is the pivotal player in all sequential coalitions except those in which he is the first player.)

b. Using your answer in (a), find the Shapley-Shubik power index of the senior partner P 1 .

c. Using your answer in (b), find the Shapley-Shubik power distribution on in this law firm.

We consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies:ˆ Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380.ˆ Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430.ˆ Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480.ˆ Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…
