- A total of 10 players are each choosing a number from {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. If a player's number equals exactly half of the average of the numbers submitted by the other nine players, then she is paid $100; otherwise, she is paid 0. Solve for the strategies that survive the IDSDS.A-Z Technologies, a manufacturer of amplified pressure transducers, is trying to decide between a dual-speed and a variable-speed machine. The engineers are not sure about the salvage value of the variable speed machine, so they have asked several different used-equipment dealers for estimates. The results can be summarized as follows: there is a 35% chance of getting $18,000, a 41% chance of getting $24,000, and a 13% chance of getting $29,000. Also, there is an 11% chance that the company may have to pay $5000 to dispose of the equipment. Calculate the expected salvage value.A week before delivery, the customer indicated that it could only take 600 of the 800 items. Because of the long-standing relationship MFMI decided to accept this revised arrangement and mandate the sales team to sell the remaining 200 items in the market for at least $7000 per item. At the end of the period the sales team reported to management that they have identified buyers who were willing to purchase the 200 items at a rate of $6100 per item and at the management’s preferred price only 140 of the 200 would be sold. Assumed that the sale team is correct, determine the quantity that would be sold if management agreed to a 5% reduction in their original price. Based on your response to part (ii), describe the type of demand for this item. 2. Assumes that the firm retools, would it make an accounting profit if the additional 200 units relating to this…

- Solve Q6 all the three sub-parThe current average diesel price is about 145 pence per litre. Your friend firmly believes that the average diesel price will shoot over 160 pence per litre for the Christmas period due to supply and logistics problems while you think, with the mitigation policies from the government, that there is a 60% probability that it will remain below 160 pence per litre. The two of you decide to bet on the outcome with x pounds: if you win, your friend pays you x pounds and vice versa. Your current wealth is 5,000 pounds which is also the maximum amount you can bet. As an expected utility maximiser, should you bet, and why or why not? If you do bet, what is the optimal amount that you should bet to maximise your expected utility?The project is desirable according to Hicks compensation criterion if the would-be losers are able to bribe the would-be winners not to make the move from state A to state B TRUE OR FALSE
- A new product has the following profit projections and associated probabilities: Profit Probability $150,000 0.10 $100,000 0.25 $ 50,000 0.20 $0 0.15 -$ 50,000 0.20 -$100,000 0.10 Use the expected value approach to decide whether to market the new product. Because of the high dollar values involved, especially the possibility of a $100,000 loss, the marketing vice president has expressed some concern about the use of the expected value approach. As a consequence, if a utility analysis is performed, what is the appropriate lottery? Assume that the following indifference probabilities are assigned. Do the utilities reflect the behavior of a risk taker or a risk avoider? Profit Indifference Probability $100,000 0.95 $ 50,000 0.70 $0 0.50 -$ 50,000 0.25week before delivery, the customer indicated that it could only take 600 of the 800 items.
