Please discuss the long question on Housing Prices ( What is the market value of the house after repairs are done?) from Assignment 1. Post under this Discussion 1 thread. Discuss what concept you are using to answer the question. What formula you are using. How to do the arithmetics to get the answer.

Please see question bellow and 1st answer. Please help with the 2nd part of the question. What kind of incentives would help with the problem? The black rhino is one of the most endangered species on the planet. In southern Africa in 1970 there were 65,000 Black Rhinos. Now there are only 2,500. Basic economics tells us why they are in trouble and what we can try to do about it. Why do people kill the black rhino? Because they can make a lot of money relative to the risk of getting caught - just like drug trafficking and lying on your taxes. In Asian communities the horn is viewed as an aphrodisiac and a powerful pain reliever. In Yemen sabers are made from them. As a result one horn can fetch $30K on the black market. The average yearly income in southern Africa is $1,000 and falling. The black rhino is worth more dead than alive. This is a market that does not correct itself. Another piece of this, that is common to many environmental challenges, is that most black rhinos are…
Topic B Problem: Imagine you have two competing athletes who have the option to use an illegal and/or dangerous drug to enhance their performance (i.e., dope). If neither athlete dopes, then neither gains an advantage. If only one dopes, then that athlete gains a massive advantage over their competitor, reduced by the medical and legal risks of doping. However, if both athletes dope, the advantages cancel out, and only the risks remain, putting them both in a worse position than if neither had been doping. What class concept best describes this situation? Using this class concept, what outcome do we expect from these two athletes? Are there any factors that could change the outcome predicted by this course concept?

Problem 1 You have been tasked with planning the annual gala for the United Way of Salt Lake. The event is intended to be a formal, but fun-filled evening with great food and entertainment. Prominent members (and donors) of the community regularly attend. The Gala is your largest fundraiser of the year. Consider the following “game against nature” in which mother nature has no payoffs. You must decide whether to hold the gala outdoors or indoors. The amount you can raise is determined by whether you choose indoors or outdoors and whether or not mother nature decides to rain. Historically, outdoor galas have proven to raise more money than indoor galas, but rain certainly tends to dampen donor moods. The payoffs and expected probabilities are provided in the following matrix: Mother Nature Rain (1/3) No rain (2/3) United Way Indoors 200,000 200,000 Outdoors 100,000 300,000 Should you hold the gala outdoors or indoors? Why? Show your work.
