Kayla and Kevin are friends who go together to a used textbook seller who has two copies ofthe biology book that they both need for their class this semester. The cost to the seller ofacquiring the books was $25 each and no other students will need this book. Kayla states thatshe is willing to pay $40 for the book, while Kevin says he is willing to pay $80. Which ofthe following describes the most likely conclusion to this scenario? Group of answer choices The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $40 each because if they tried tocharge Kevin a higher price, Kayla would engage in arbitrage. The seller will sell one book to Kayla for $40 and one book to Kevin for $80 because thismarket meets all three requirements for price discrimination. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $80 each because Kevin's highervalue exceeds Kayla's willingness to pay. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $25 each because that is howmuch the…

Review the numbers for Canada and Venezuelafrom Table 33.12 which describes how many barrelsof oil and tons of lumber the workers can produce. Usethese numbers to answer the rest of this question.a. Draw a production possibilities frontier for eachcountry. Assume there are 100 workers in eachcountry. Canadians and Venezuelans desire bothoil and lumber. Canadians want at least 2,000tons of lumber. Mark a point on their productionpossibilities where they can get at least 3,000tons.b. Assume that the Canadians specializecompletely because they figured out they havea comparative advantage in lumber. They arewilling to give up 1,000 tons of lumber. Howmuch oil should they ask for in return for thislumber to be as well off as they were with notrade? How much should they ask for if theywant to gain from trading with Venezuela? Note:We can think of this “ask” as the relative price ortrade price of lumber.c. Is the Canadian “ask” you identified in (b) alsobeneficial for Venezuelans? Use the…
Suppose that the University of Alabama and Clemson are making spending decisions for theupcoming year. Assume that Alabama is currently spending $15 million on their recruiting andfacilities, and Clemson is spending $10 million. Each team has an additional $5 million to spendor keep as profits. If they both choose to not spend the additional $5 million then Alabama hasa 60% chance of getting the highest quality quarterback recruit to commit to them (getting thecommitment of the player is the goal). However, if they both choose to spend the additional $5million then there is a 57% chance that Alabama gets the high quality quarterback to commit. IfAlabama spends the additional $5 million but Clemson doesn’t then there is a 67% chanceAlabama gets the recruit. However, if Alabama does NOT spend the additional $5million butClemson does then there is a 50% change either team gets the recruit’s commitment. Setup thepayoff matrix and label the players, their strategies, and their payoffs, and…
5. 7) Fifteen years ago, the town of Easton decided to increase its annual spending on education so that its high school graduates would be able to earn higher wages. Now Easton has asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of the spending increase. Their data show that before the spending increase, the average salary of recent high school graduated was $25,000 and that now the average salary has risen to $28,500. Fortunately for your analysis a neighboring community did not change its annual spending on education. In the other town 15 years ago high school graduates earned an average of $22,500, and now the average is $23,750. a) Use a differences-in-differences estimator to determine whether Easton’s spending increase potentially caused the wages of high school graduates to rise. b) What underlying assumption do you have to make in order for your estimate to be valid? What might cause that underlying assumption to not be valid?

You and a coworker are assigned a team project on which your likelihood or a promotion will be decidedon. It is now the night before the project is due and neither has yet to start it. You both want toreceive a promotion next year, but you both also want to go to your company’s holiday party that night.Each of you wants to maximize his or her own happiness (likelihood of a promotion and mingling withyour colleagues “on the company’s dime”). If you both work, you deliver an outstanding presentation.If you both go to the party, your presentation is mediocre. If one parties and the other works, yourpresentation is above average. Partying increases happiness by 25 units. Working on the project addszero units to happiness. Happiness is also affected by your chance of a promotion, which is depends on howgood your project is. An outstanding presentation gives 40 units of happiness to each of you; an aboveaverage presentation gives 30 units of happiness; a mediocre presentation gives 10 units…
Q2. Preferences and utilityLet's assume that country A prefers not to make additional concessions (outcome C1) to country B than granting those concessions (outcome C2), but a continued war (outcome C3) would be worse than making the additional concessions (C2). The following utility function over the outcomes specifies the intensity of preferences for country A over the outcomes: u(C1) = 1, u(C2) = 0.3, and u(C3) = 0. Country A can choose to refuse concessions (action A1) or allow concessions (action A2). The outcome that will occur is a function of the "type" of country B's leader.If country A refuses concession (A1), country B will not initiate a war (outcome C1) if country B's leader is amicable, while it will enter a war (outcome C3) if the leader is belligerent. There is a probability p(S1) = 0.6 that country B's leader is amicable and a probability p(S2) = 0.4 that country he's belligerent. If country A allows concession (A2), both in case of country A is amicable p(S1) and…
A decrease in the supply of in building materials (shortage) means that construction companies cannot get enough materials to complete all their projects. The owners of construction companies in Fiction Town have a choice between these two options: To lay off (temporarily fire) 10% of their least experienced workers. To reduce the hours of all employees by 5 hours a week, meaning they will be paid for 5 fewer hours of work. What happens to the average income of people who are employed as construction workers? The owners of the companies make profit from the payments made on their construction projects. What happens to the income of the owners? Assume that construction workers are counted as part of the average income in all of Fiction Town. What happens to the average income of people there? Why?
Daniel and Kevin are two hardworking builders for solo, independently-owned companies. They can produce Chairs and Tables. As a result, they each have PPFs (Possibilities Production Frontiers) that illustrate their production. Daniel's PPF is shown by the equation: Qc = 12 - 3Qt. Likewise, Kevin's PPF is shown by the equation: Qt = 12 - 3Qc. Since they trust each other and are honest in their terms, Daniel and Kevin trade with each other and only each other; they do not take their goods to markets, and they do not interact with outside sellers/buyers. Since they want to make sure that they provide for their families in the most fair way possible, they set up and agree upon a few terms of trade. The terms are as follows: FIRST, the terms of trade are 1 Chair in exchange for 1 Table. SECOND, each of them specializes according to their own comparative advantage. THIRD, since Kevin needs a few extra things, he CONSUMES 3 units of the goods that he produces. With that said, I have a few…
Edwina, a commodities broker, has acquired an option tobuy 1,000 oz of gold at $50/oz. If she takes the option and ifCongress relaxes import quotas, she can sell the gold for$80/oz. If she takes the option and Congress does not relaxthe import quotas, however, the company will lose $10/oz. Edwina believes that there is a 50% chance that the governmentwill relax the quota. She also has the option of waiting untilCongress decides whether to relax the import quota. If sheadopts this strategy, however, there is a 70% chance that someother broker will have already taken the option.a If Edwina is risk-neutral, what should she do? b If Edwina’s utility function for a change x in her as-set position is given by u(x) (10,000 x)1/2, what should she do?
A U.S. emergency relief agency is considering sending a team of experts to another country to treat a severely contagious disease outbreak. Each team costs $100,000 for this one-week-long job. The agency estimates effectiveness as follows: 0 teams = 1000 deaths;1 team = 500 deaths;2 teams = 250 deaths,3 teams = 50 deaths;4 teams = 50 deaths Number of Teams Number of Deaths 0 1,000 1 500 2 250 3 50 4 50 If the Agency is considering sending 3 teams vs. 2 teams, what is the marginal cost (in dollar terms) of sending the third team? If saving a life is valued at $200,000 then the optimal number of teams to send is _____.
