In a 2-player game the payoff function of player 1 is given by U1(51,52)=(4 – 51)52 +6, where 51 denotes a strategy of player 1 and Sz a strategy of player 2. Suppose that S1= S2 =[-6, – 4]are the strategy sets of players 1 and 2, respectively. Write down the strategy of player 1 which is strongly dominant. You must format your answer as follows: Enter -5 for strategy 51= -5, enter -5.5 for strategy 51 = -5.5, and so on. If none of player 1's strategies is strongly dominant, enter - 1.

Find the expected payoff to the row player if R uses the maximin strategy 40% of the time and chooses each of the other two rows 30% of the time while C uses the minimax strategy 50% of the time and chooses each of the other two columns 25% of the time. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X = demand for the magazine, with pmf x 1 2 3 4 5 6 p(x) 1/5 2/15 3/15 4/15 3/15 2/15 Suppose the store owner actually pays $2.00 for each copy of the magazine and the price to customers is $4.00.If magazines left at the end of the week have no salvage value, is it better to order three or four copies of the magazine? [Hint: For both three and four copies ordered, express net revenue as a function of demand X, and then compute the expected revenue.]
There are four students named A, B, C, and D. All four of them are loss averse over money,with the same value function for money:v(x dollars) = √x and x ≥ 0, −2√−x and x < 0All three of them are also loss averse over mugs, with the same value function for mugs:v(y mugs) = 3y and y ≥ 0, 4y and y < 0Total utility is the sum of the gain/loss utility for mugs and the gain/loss utility for money.The reference point is the status quo, that is, a person’s initial endowment. Student A ownsa mug and is willing to sell it for a price of a dollars or more. Student B does not own amug and is willing to pay up to b dollars for buying it. Student C does not own a mug andis indifferent between getting a mug and getting c dollars. Student D is indifferent betweenlosing a mug and losing d dollars.1. Solve for a, b, c, and d.
Suppose the Economics Department has a graduation party for its students but as a final test they must show they have learned something about trade. Students in group A are given food (F) when they walk in, and students in group B are given a drink (D). Refer to Scenario 1. Suppose that all members of both groups have identical preferences where food and drink provide utility U = FαDβ. The exchange would be such that (a) both would be guaranteed to be better off than when they entered.(b) both would be guaranteed to be at least as well off as when they entered. (c) students in group A would end up with more utility. (d) students in group B would end up with more utility.
The sales manager of a company has budgeted K120, 000 for an advertising programme for one of the firm’s product. The selected advertising programme consists of running advertisements in two different magazines. The advertisement for magazine 1 costs K2000 per run while the advertisement for magazine 2 costs K.5000 per run. Past experience has indicated that at least 20 runs in magazine 1, and at least 10 runs in magazine 2 are necessary to penetrate the market with any appreciable effect. Also, experience has indicated that there is no reason to make more than 50 runs in either of the two magazines. How many runs in magazine 1 and how many in magazine 2 should be made? Use simplex method.

Three market leaders in homeowners insurance in a state are State Farm, American Family Insurance Group, and Allstate. Based on data from a certain year, two relationships between the homeowners insurance percentage market shares are found to be as given below, where x, y, z, and w are the percentages of the market held by State Farm, American Family, Allstate, and other companies, respectively. x = −86 + 5y + z z = 18− 2y + w Given that the four groups account for the entire market, obtain a third equation relating x, y, z, and w, and solve the associated system of three linear equations to show how the market shares of State Farm, American Family, and Allstate depend on the share held by other companies. (Express your answer in terms of w, where x = x(w), y = y(w), and z = z(w).) (x, y, z) =

(b) Suppose 0 < χ ≤ 1. Derive an expression for the coefficient of relative risk aversion RR(ct) (c) Suppose 0 < χ ≤ 1. How does this utility function help address the equity premium puzzle? (d) Suppose χ = .4, γ = 0.5, ct = 105, and ct−1 = 100, what is the coefficient of relative risk aversion? (e) Suppose 0 < χ ≤ 1. Suppose the agent is confronted with a mean preserving spread where ˜RB is riskier than ˜RA and where E[˜RA] = E[˜RB] and ˜RA SSD ˜RB.

At the end of a certain year, the four companies with the largest number of home Internet users in the United States were Microsoft, Time Warner, Yahoo, and Google, with a combined audience of 284 million users. Taking x to be the Microsoft audience in millions, y the Time Warner audience in millions, z the Yahoo audience in millions, and u the Google audience in millions, it was observed that z − u = 3(x − y) + 12 x + y = 44 + z + u and x − y + z − u = 36. How large was the audience of each of the four companies at the end of that year? Microsoft million Time Warner million Yahoo million Google million
