You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: penguin patties, raskels, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of penguin patties decreases by 20%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 22% and the quantity of cannies sold increases by 7%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price…
Sophia is a contestant on a game show and has selected the prize that lies behind door number 3.The show’s host tells her that there is a 50% chance that there is a $15,000 diamond ring behindthe door and a 50% chance that there is a goat behind the door (which is worth nothing to Sophia,who is allergic to goats). Before the door is opened, someone in the audience shouts, “I will giveyou the option of selling me what is behind the door for $8,000 if you will pay me $4,500 for thisoption.” [Assume that the game show allows this offer.]a. If Sophia cares only about the expected dollar values of various outcomes, will she buythis option?b. Explain why Sophia’s degree of risk aversion might affect her willingness to buy thisoption

- A husband and wife would produce incomes Yh and Yw in their fallback situations. The utility each derives in any circumstance is just equal to his or her consumption expenditure in that circumstance. In their fallback situations, their consumption expenditure levels are just equal to their incomes. Thus their fallback levels of utility are Yh and Yw. If they cooperate, they produce Z>Yh + Yw. They engage in Nash cooperative bargaining to determine how to allocate Z across the consumption of the husband, Ch, and consumption of the wife, Cw, subject to the budget constraint that Ch + Cw = Z. Under any bargained allocation, the two would derive utilities of Ch and Cw. a) The surplus associated with cooperation is S = Z − Yh − Yw. Show that each spouse consumes his or her fallback income plus half the surplus in the Nash cooperative bargaining solution.

- Ahmed is an agent for Bader for maintaining Bader’s antique cars collection, including sale and purchase of antique cars. Ahmed has had this position for several years, but recently Ahmedhas developed a cocaine habit. He recently sold one of Bader’s cars and kept some of the money himself to buy some cocaine. Soon thereafter, Ahmed was declared bankrupt. The government then notified Ahmed that he had sold the maximum allowable number of cars in a year without getting a dealer’s license. Shortly thereafter, Bader was on a secluded island and died, which no one knew about until 2 weeks later.

Consider the first 2 units of the good that would be sold in this market (the vertical red line on the graph). Which answer choices are correct? If Kai and Mint sold one unit each to Gob and Yam at a price of $6, the trade would be mutually beneficial. At a price of $6, Gob would benefit by $3 because she is paying $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $9 to her. At a price of $6, Kai would benefit by $4 because she is getting $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $2 to her. For the first 2 units of the good there is potential gain from trade of $7 for each of the 2 units. For the first 2 units of the good sold the difference between the value to buyer and seller is $9 each. This means there is a potential gain from trade of $9 per unit. If the first 2 units of the…arrow_forwardOne of the critical moments early on in the The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the meeting in Rivendell to decide who should take the One Ring to Mordor. Gimli the Dwarf won’t hear of an Elf doing it, whereas Legolas (who is an Elf) feels similarly about Gimli. Boromir (who is a Man) is opposed to either of them taking charge of the Ring. And then there is Frodo the Hobbit, who has the weakest desire to take the Ring but knows that someone must throw it into the fires of Mordor. In modeling this scenario as a game, assume there are four players: Boromir, Frodo, Gimli, and Legolas. (There were more, of course, including Aragorn and Elrond, but let’s keep it simple.) Each of them has a preference ordering, shown in the following table, as to who should take on the task of carrying the One Ring. Of the three non-Hobbits, each prefers to take on the task himself. Each would prefer that other than themselves and Frodo, no one should take the Ring. As for Frodo, he doesn’t really want to do it…arrow_forward
