Alice (A) and Bob (B) want to share a pizza of size 1. Suppose Alice has utility uA(x) = √x from x amount of pizza and Bob has utility uB(x) = √3 x from x amount of pizza. If they don’t find an agreement, Alice receives half of the pizza and Bob receives nothing. Calculate the Nash Bargaining solution for the problem! c) Who receives a large piece of the pizza? Explain why that is the case

Strassel Investors buys real estate, develops it, and resells it for a profit. A new property is available, and Bud Strassel, the president and owner of Strassel Investors, believes if he purchases and develops this property, it can then be sold for $154,000. The current property owner has asked for bids and stated that the property will be sold for the highest bid in excess of $100,000. Two competitors will be submitting bids for the property. Strassel does not know what the competitors will bid, but he assumes for planning purposes that the amount bid by each competitor will be uniformly distributed between $100,000 and $144,000. (a) What is the estimate of the probability Strassel will be able to obtain the property using a bid of $124,000? (Use at least 5,000 trials. Round your answer three decimal places.) ???

Strassel Investors buys real estate, develops it, and resells it for a profit. A new property is available, and Bud Strassel, the president and owner of Strassel Investors, believes if he purchases and develops this property, it can then be sold for $151,000. The current property owner has asked for bids and stated that the property will be sold for the highest bid in excess of $100,000. Two competitors will be submitting bids for the property. Strassel does not know what the competitors will bid, but he assumes for planning purposes that the amount bid by each competitor will be uniformly distributed between $100,000 and $141,000. Use the simulation model to compute the profit for each trial of the simulation run (noting that Strassel's profit is $0 if he does not win the bid). With maximization of profit as Strassel's objective, use simulation to evaluate Strassel's bid alternatives of $121,000, $131,000, or $141,000. What is the expected profit (in dollars) for each bid alternative?…
Consider two companies with mining rights to the same region. They couldmine in an environmentally friendly manner or agressively. If both mineenvironmentally friendly, profits are 100 million for each in a given year.If they both mine agressively, the government will step in and fine them,meaning that they will make 75 million each. Finally, the government willnot step in if only one of the companies mines agressively, meaning that theaggresive miner will make 120 million while the environmentally friendlyminer will loose out in capacity and make 50 million.a) Write the normal form of the game and point out the Nash equilibriumif the game is played only once. (2)b) What will be the rollback equilibrium if the two companies mine thesame region three years ina row? (2)c) Now assume that the game is repeated infinitely. What rate of returnvalue that will sustain the environmentally friendly strategy as the Nashequilibrium if one of the companies is playing a grim strategy? (3)d) Now…
The government is auctioning off oil leases at two sites. At each site, 150,000 acres of land are to be auctioned. Cliff Ewing, Blake Barnes, and Alexis Pickens are bidding for the oil. Government rules state that no bidder can receive more than 45% of the land being auctioned. Cliff has bid $2000 per acre for site 1 land and $1000 per acre for site 2 land. Blake has bid $1800 per acre for site 1 land and $1500 per acre for site 2 land. Alexis has bid $1900 per acre for site 1 land and $1300 per acre for site 2 land. a. Determine how to maximize the government’s revenue with a transportation model. b. Use SolverTable to see how changes in the government’s rule on 45% of all land being auctioned affect the optimal revenue. Why can the optimal revenue not decrease if this percentage required increases? Why can the optimal revenue not increase if this percentage required decreases?

Three businesswomen are trying to convene in Cincinnati for a business meeting. The first women (Woman 1) is arriving on a flight from Atlanta, the second (Woman 2) is arriving on a flight from Dallas, and the third (Woman 3) is arriving on a flight from Chicago. Historical data suggests that the Atlanta flight is “on time” 90% of the time, the Dallas flight is “on time” 95% of the time, and the Chicago flight is “on time” 80% of the time. Furthermore, historical data suggests that the three flights are independent with respect to on time behavior. Define the sample space for this random experiment. Compute the probability for each of the outcomes in the sample space. Let W denote the number of business women that arrive on time. Construct the probability mass function of W Construct the cumulative distribution function of W Find the expected value of W Compute the standard deviation of W
Suppose that there is a negotiation between two players over a painting. Person 1,the seller ,has no interest in the painting. On the other hand the painting is worth $100 to the buyer. If the painting is sold at a price in between 0 and 100, both are better off. Player 1 proposes a price p to player 2. Then after observing player 1's offer, player decides whether to accept it or to reject it. If the offer is rejected both zero and the game ends.Find the unique SPNE of this game.

A friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consultingtrips to Washington, D.C.; 50% of the time shetravels on airline #1, 30% of the time on airline #2, and the remaining 20% of the time on airline #3. For airline#1, flights are late into D.C. 30% of the time and late intoL.A. 10% of the time. For airline #2, these percentagesare 25% and 20%, whereas for airline #3 the percentagesare 40% and 25%. If we learn that on a particular trip shearrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, whatare the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines#1, #2, and #3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival inL.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C.[Hint: From the tip of each first-generation branch on atree diagram, draw three second-generation brancheslabeled, respectively, 0 late, 1 late, and 2 late.]
