2. Individual Problems 21-2 Planes frequently push back from the gate on time, but then wait 2 feet away from the gate until it is time to queue up for takeoff. This increases fuel consumption and increases the time that passengers must sit in a cramped plane awaiting takeoff. The following table shows the pay schedule for the flight crew. Pay Flight Attendant Captain First Officer Per diem $3 $3 $3 Holding pay per hour $20 $20 $20 Hourly wage (after push back) $38 $184 $50 Per diem pay indicates how much the flight crew earns once it checks into the airport. Holding pay indicates how much the flight crew earns after it loads the plane. Hourly wage indicates how much the flight crew earns after it pushes back from the gate and turns on the beacon. In this scenario, who does not have an incentive to push back from the gate as early as possible? Check all that apply. O Captain O Flight attendants O Passengers O First officer True or False: Allowing the airline to decide when to push back from the gate would reduce incentives to push back from the gate too early. O True O False

(8 points) A taxpayer (of a particular profile) can either comply with the IRS code, orcheat and receive some benefit. The IRS can either audit the taxpayer at a cost or donothing. If the taxpayer cheats and the IRS audits then the tax payer faces penalty (fineplus possibly jail time) and the IRS receives the fine. The payoff matrix:IRSAudit (q) Not Audit (1-q)Cheat (p) -50000, 4000 1000, 0Tax PayerComply (1-p) -500, -300 0, 0Assume the tax payer cheats with probability p and complies with probability 1 − p, andIRS audits with probability q and does not audit with probability 1 − q. Find the mixedstrategy Nash equilibrium. Express probabilities in percentage forms and keep two digitsafter the decimal point, for example p = 2.34%.
