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

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 _____.
There are two hunters, each trying to bring meat back to their village. The hunters individually choose to either hunt a stag or hunt a They know that if they both choose to hunt a stag, they can kill it and bring back 20 pounds of meat each for the village. They also know that no hunter can kill a stag alone, so that any hunter who pursues a stag without the other will come back to the village empty-handed. A hunter can certainly hunt a rabbit individually. Any hunter who pursues a rabbit will bring back 1 pound of meat for the village.
a) Let’s say the hunters go out at the same time without communicating what their plans Represent this one-shot, simultaneous move game using the normal form.
b) Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Why or why not?
c) What is the (pure strategy) Nash equilibrium in this game? Keep in mind the possibility of multiple Nash Equilibria.
d) What is the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in this game?
Andy, Brad, and Carly are playing a new online video game: Zombie Civil War. Each has an army of 100 zombies and must decide how to allocate them to battle each of the other two players’ armies. Three simultaneous battles are occurring: one between Andy and Brad, one between Andy and Carly, and one between Brad and Carly. Let Ab denote how many zombie soldiers Andy allocates to his battle with Brad, with the remaining 100 - Ab soldiers in Andy’s zombie army assigned to the battle with Carly. Bc denotes the number of zombie soldiers that Brad allocates to his battle with Carly, and 100 - Bc zombies go to his battle with Andy. Ca is the the number of zombie soldiers that Carly allocates to the battle with Andy, and 100 - Ca in her battle with Brad. To see how payoffs are determined, consider Andy. If Ab > 100 - Bc, so that Andy has more zombies than Brad in the Andy-Brad battle, then Andy wins the battle and receives w points where w > 2. If Ab = 100 - Bc, so that Andy and Brad…

Each person can gather vegetables for soup themselves, as they are located in a garden that each resident has in front of their house. Additionally, assume that only those who participated in gathering the apples evenly distribute the apple strudel.
