- The questions has two parts: A departmental store sells stereo systems, television sets and radios. The percentage distribution of the total sales volume (in rupees) is estimated as 30 per cent stereos, 50 per cent televisions and 20 per cent radios. The prices of one stereo, one television and one radio in 1990 were $ 20,000, $15,000 and $ 500 respectively while their respective prices in 1995 were $25,000, $ 20,000 and $ 800.

Neither of them can produce evidence of ownership and nobody else is staking a claim on the ring. Judge Sabio wants the ring to go to the legal owner, but he does not know which of the two women is in fact the legal owner. He decides to proceed as follows. First he announces a fine of $F > 0 and then asks Anna and Bess to play the following game. Move 1: Anna moves first. Either she gives up her claim to the ring (in which case Bess gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or she asserts her claim, in which case the game proceeds to Move 2. Move 2: Bess either accepts Anna's claim (in which case Anna gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or challenges her claim. In the latter case, Bess must put in a bid, call it B, and Anna must pay the fine of $F to Sabio. The game goes on to Move 3.
