You are the manager of an organization in America that distributes blood to hospitals in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. A recent report indicates that nearly 50 Americans contract HIV each year through blood transfusions. Although every pint of blood donated in the United States undergoes a battery of nine different tests, existing screening methods can detect only the antibodies produced by the body’s immune system—not foreign agents in the blood. Since it takes weeks or even months for these antibodies to build up in the blood, newly infected HIV donors can pass along the virus through blood that has passed existing screening tests. Happily, researchers have developed a series of new tests aimed at detecting and removing infections from donated blood before it is used in transfusions. The obvious benefit of these tests is the reduced incidence of infection through blood transfusions. The report indicates that the current price of decontaminated blood is $60 per pint.…
Milo is the young, likable, optimistic, and generous son of a prominent public official. He has a master's degree in business and is the business partner of Kent and Lily in an oil drilling and exploration business. Milo also serves as a director on the board of the Corley Savings and Loan Association. While serving on the Corley Board, Milo votes to approve major loans to Kent and Lily without disclosing to the other directors that he is a business partner of Kent and Lily. Milo also personally arranges for a $900,000 line of credit from Corley for an oil drilling venture in which he is a partner with Kent. The drilling venture is unsuccessful and Kent and Lily both default on their loans to Corley, which then causes the S & L to become insolvent. Federal banking officials seize Corley and liquidate its assets to pay creditors and depositors. Because Corley is federally insured, tax money is also used to pay off depositors whose deposits are insured under federal programs. Corley…
Player 1 and Player 2 are trying to agree on how to split a pie of size 1 in a two-stage bargaining game. If no agreement is reached after the two stages are complete, the pie is split for them according to a pre-arranged agreement that gives Player 1 and Player 2 one-quarter and three quarters of the pie, respectively. In the first stage, Player 1 makes an offer (x1, x2), where x1 + x2 = 1. Player 2 can either accept this offer (at which point the game ends and the pie is split according to Player 1’s offer), or can make a counter-offer. When Player 2 makes a counter offer, Player 1 can either accept (in which case the pie is split according to Player 2’s offer) or can reject, in which case the pie is split according to the pre-arranged agreement. Both players have a discount factor d – getting dx in the first stage (after Player 1’s proposal) is as good as getting x in the second stage (after Player 2’s proposal).
a) In the last stage of the game, Player 1 will accept any offer…

- Two oil companies are deciding how much oil to extract from their properties, which lie above the same underground reservoir. The faster that oil is extracted, the less total oil is extracted. Letting x denote the extraction rate for company X and y denote the extraction rate for company Y, we assume that the total amount of oil extracted is 1/(x + y) million gallons of oil. Of the total amount that is extracted, the share going to company X is x/(x + y), and the share to company Y is y/(x + y); that is, a company’s share depends on how fast it extracts compared with the other company. The price of oil is $100 per gallon. Each company chooses its extraction rate from the interval [1,10] in order to maximize the monetary value of the oil that it extracts. Find the Nash equilibrium extraction rates. (Note: You can assume that the payoff function is hill shaped.)arrow_forwardJamie is considering leaving her current job, which pays $75,000 per year, to start a new company that develops applications for smartphones. Based on market research, she can sell about 50,000 units during the first year at a price of $4 per unit. With annual over-head costs and operating expenses amounting to $145,000, Jamie expects a profit "margin of 20 percent. This margin is 5 percent larger than that of her largest competitor, Apps Inc. a. If Jamie decides to embark on her new venture, what will her accounting costs be during the first year of operation? Her implicit costs? Her opportunity costs? b. Suppose that Jamie’s estimated selling price is lower than originally projected during the first year.

Player 1 can make any offer to player 2 in increments of 25 cents; that is, player 1 can make offers of 0 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents, and $1. An offer is the amount of the original dollar that player 1 would like player 2 to have. After player 2 gets an offer, she has the option of either accepting or rejecting the offer. If she accepts, she gets the offered amount and player 1 keeps the remainder. If she rejects, neither player gets anything. Draw the game tree of the modified version of the ’divide the dollar’ game in which player 2 can make a counteroffer if she does not accept player 1’s offer. After player 2 makes her counteroffer - if she does - player 1 can accept or reject the counteroffer. As before, if there is no agreement after the two rounds of offers, neither player gets anything. If there is an agreement in either round then each player gets the amount agreed…arrow_forward

Amir Efrati at The Information spills details from an allegedly leaked internal Amazon document. The paperwork is said to have been produced by a potential partner and two people who were involved in discussions with Amazon.

You are a risk-neutral manager within the Corporate Finance Division and are in dire need of a new financial analyst. You only interview students from the top MBA programs in your area. Thanks to your screening mechanisms and contacts, the students you interview ultimately differ only with respect to the wage that they are willing to accept. About 10 percent of acceptable candidates are willing to accept a salary of $140,000, while 90 percent demand a salary of $190,000. There are two phases to the interview process that every interviewee must go through. Phase 1 is the initial one-hour on-campus interview. All candidates interviewed in Phase 1 are also invited to Phase 2 of the interview, which consists of a five-hour office visit. In all, you spend six hours interviewing each candidate and value this time at $2,500. In addition, it costs a total of $8,000 in travel expenses to interview…arrow_forward
