- CPT Inc. is a local manufacturer of conveyor systems. Last year, CPT sold over $2 million worth of conveyor systems that netted the company $100,000 in profits. Raw materials and labor are CPT’s biggest expenses. Spending on structural steel alone amounted to over $500,000, or 25 percent of total sales. In an effort to reduce costs, CPT now uses an online procurement procedure that is best described as a first-price, sealed-bid auction. The bidders in these auctions utilize the steel for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from art to skyscrapers. This suggests that bidders value the steel independently, although it is perceived that bidder valuations are evenly distributed between $7,000 and $23,000. You are the purchasing manager at CPT and are bidding on three tons of six-inch hot-rolled channel steel against 5 other bidders. Your company values the three tons of channel steel at $12,000.

- The mixed stratergy nash equalibrium consists of : the probability of firm A selecting October is 0.692 and probability of firm A selecting December is 0.309. The probability of firm B selecting October is 0.5 and probability of firm selecting December is 0.5. In the equilibrium you calculated above, what is the probability that both consoles are released in October? In December? What are the expected payoffs of firm A and of firm B in equilibrium?CPT incorporated is a local manufacturer of conveyor systems.

What is your optimal bid?We have studied the 2-period alternating offer bargaining model with constant costs of delay. In other words, in that model, there were two agents 1 and 2 , each with a constant delay cost c1 and c2 respectively. That is the cost to each player i of each period of delay is ci . Now consider the 3 -period version of the model. In this model there are 3 periods t = 0, 1, 2 . As before the cost of each additional period of delay is ci to player i, i.e., if the period t = 2 proposal z = (z1, z2) is accepted then player i’s payoff is zi − 2ci and if the period t = 2 proposal is rejected, then it is (−2c1, −2c2). Assume c1 > c2. Find a SPE of the game?
- Given the both answer..Two identically able agents are competing for a promotion. The promotion is awarded on the basis of output (whomever has the highest output, gets the promotion). Because there are only two workers competing for one prize, the losing prize=0 and the winning prize =P. The output for each agent is equal to his or her effort level times a productivity parameter (d). (i.e. Q2=dE1 , Q2=dE2). If the distribution of “relative luck” is uniform, the probability of winning the promotion for agent 1 will be a function of his effort (E1) and the effort level of Agent 2 (E2). The formula is given by...Prob(win)=0.5 + α(E1-E2), where α is a parameter that reflects uncertainty and errors in measurement. High measurement errors are associated with small values of α (think about this: if there are high measurement errors, then the level of an agent’s effort will have a smaller effect on his/her chances of winning). Using this information, please answer the following questions. Both workers have a…Each of the two players independently (and simultaneously with the other) decides whether to go to a play or a concert. Each would rather go with the other to a concert than with them to a play, but prefers this to not being together, in which case they don't care where they go alone. Additionally, each is indifferent between attending the play together and participating in a lottery where both go to the concert with a probability of ¾ and to different events with a probability of ¼. Describe the game in matrix form and find all its equilibria under the assumption that the players have von Neumann-Morgenstern preferences.

Each permit represents the right to discharge one tonne of pollutants. Malaca has determined that the lake will tolerate a maximum of 40 tonnes of pollutants per year and has decided to sell the permits using a Dutch auction. This means that the auction starts at a very high price, which is reduced in steps until the price reaches a level that will result in all 40 tonnes of pollution permits being sold at the same price. The results of the bidding are shown in table below. Price per PollutionPermit BidderA BidderB BidderC BidderD BidderE $5,500 2 5,000 4 6 4,500 6 6 1 1 1 4,000 8 7 2 2 2 3,500 10 7 4 3 3 3,000 12 9 6 3 4 2,500 14 10 8 3 5 2,000 16 11 9 4 6 1,500 18 12 10 4 7 a.
