e. Of the fair divisions found in (d), which one is the best?
(a)
To find:
Fair shares for Henry from the given table.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
Fair shares for Henry are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given table for value of shares to each player is shown in table 1.
Table 1
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
Fair share for each player should be
Calculation:
The value of shares to each player is,
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
There are total 3 players in which assets will be divided so the fair share for each player would be
Then according to table fair shares for Henry will be
Conclusion:
Thus, fair shares for Henry are
(b)
To find:
Fair shares for Tom from the given table.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
Fair shares for Tom are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given table for value of shares to each player is shown in table 1.
Table 1
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
Fair share for each player should be
Calculation:
The value of shares to each player is,
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
There are total 3 players in which assets will be divided so the fair share for each player would be
Then according to table fair shares for Tom will be
Conclusion:
Thus, fair shares for Tom are
(c)
To find:
Fair shares for Fred from the given table.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
Fair shares for Fred are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given table for value of shares to each player is shown in table 1.
Table 1
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
Fair share for each player should be
Calculation:
The value of shares to each player is,
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
There are total 3 players in which assets will be divided so the fair share for each player would be
Then according to table fair shares for Fred will be
Conclusion:
Thus, fair shares for Fred are
(d)
To find:
All possible fair divisions of the assets using given table.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The fair division of assets is possible in two ways:
i. Henry gets
ii. Henry gets
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given table for value of shares to each player is shown in table 1.
Table 1
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
Fair share for each player should be
Calculation:
The value of shares to each player is,
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
There are total 3 players in which assets will be divided so the fair share for each player would be
Henry and Tom both have fair shares
i. Henry gets
ii. Henry gets
Conclusion:
Thus, the fair division of assets is possible in two ways:
i. Henry gets
ii. Henry gets
(e)
To find:
The best fair division among the fair divisions found in part (4).
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The best fair division of assets is: Henry gets
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given table for value of shares to each player is shown in table 1.
Table 1
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
Fair share for each player should be
Calculation:
The value of shares to each player is,
S1 | S2 | S3 | |
There are total 3 players in which assets will be divided so the fair share for each player would be
Henry and Tom both have fair shares
i. Henry gets
ii. Henry gets
The best fair division is the one in which players are more happy. Henry would be more happy in choice (i) and Tom also would be more happy in choice (i). Fred is happy in equally in both choices.
So the best fair division of assets is: Henry gets
Conclusion:
Thus, the best fair division of assets is: Henry gets
