- Problem 1. Andy (consumer A) and Red (consumer B) growing old together on a remote island on which only fish (good 1) and coconut (good 2) are available for consumption. Both Andy and Red have Cobb-Douglas preferences. That is, consumer i has u(xi, z) = (a)¹/2 (1)¹/2, where x is consumer i' s good j consumption with j = 1, 2. Also, Andy's ini- tial endowment is w (w, w) (1,3) while Red's initial endowment is w = (wi, wz) = = = = (3, 1). (a) Draw the Edgeworth box for this economy. Mark the point indicating the initial endowment of each consumer. (b) Draw the contract curve for this economy in an Edgeworth box (a graphical represen- tation is sufficient). Explain if it is Pareto efficient for Andy and Red to consume their endowments. (c) What is the set of allocations that could be the outcome under barter in this economy? (d) Let the price of fish be p₁ while the price of coconut be normalized to 1 without loss of generality. For each consumer, solve the utility maximization problem,…Imagine that you are at dinner with an acquaintance and that you are each independently choosing what to order for dinner: a burger (which costs $8), or a chicken ($12). In terms of enjoyment, you each have the same preferences: you value the burger at $14, chicken at $17. In other words, if you were dining alone and ordered a burger, your payoff would equal $14- $8 = $6. In this case, however, you will split the bill equally with your companion and thus your payoff depends both on your own order and the order of your acquaintance. Specifically, each diner's payoff is equal to the value of their own meal minus half the cost of the total bill. They also get a payoff of $2 when both of them choose the same meal. (a) Write down the normal form representation of the game in which both players are independently choosing between the actions Burger, Chicken. (b) What are pure and mixed Nash equilibria? Draw best response graphs according to beliefs.You are on a cruise in the Caribbean Sea, which cost $1,000. On this particular day you have the choice between two activities, both of which would provide marginal mental benefits to your state of mind. The first is a scuba diving trip whose cost was included in the price of the cruise (you get to swim with a school of hammerheads). The second is a shopping spree on St. Thomas that would cost you $500. Which costs and benefits (select all that apply) should you consider when deciding which activity to undergo? The $1,000 cost of the cruise. All of the above. The marginal benefits of the shopping trip. The $500 cost of the shopping trip. The marginal benefits of the scuba trip.
- Julia and Ralph need to decide which one of them will take time off from work to complete the rather urgent task of pruning their trees. Julia is pretty good with a pole saw; she can prune the trees in 1 hour. Ralph is somewhat slow; it takes him 6 hours to prune the trees. Julia earns $120 per hour as a business consultant, while Ralph earns $15 per hour as a lifeguard.Keeping in mind that either Julia or Ralph must take time off from work to prune the trees, who has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task?Four neighbors, each with a vegetable garden, agree to share their produce. One will grow beans (B), one will grow lettuce (L), one will grow tomatoes (T), and one will grow zucchini (Z). Table shows what fraction of each crop each neighbor will receive. What prices should the neighbors charge for their crops if each person is to break even and the lowest-priced crop has a value of $50?6) You have been assigned to create a new TV game show, and you have an interesting idea that you call, “I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE.” The basics are: 1) two contestants; 2) the show begins with each contestant being given $1 million (!), and then 3) they begin playing a game that can increase or decrease that $1 million. You worry that the initial outlay of $2 million will stun your producers, so you decide to prepare them with a simpler version of your game that you call: “I WANT $3.” There are four steps in this simpler game: I. There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). II. Each player is given $3 at the start of the game. III. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose whether they want to add $0, $1, $2 or $3 to their initial stake of $3. Doing so reduces their opponent’s award by $0, $2, $4, or $6, respectively. IV. Each player knows that their payoff at the end of the game is based on…

You can either go see a movie with your roommate or work as a tutor for the Math Department. From experience, you know that going to see a movie gives you $20 worth of enjoyment, and with your student discount, a movie ticket only costs $12. If you spend the afternoon working as a math tutor, you will get paid $45. On a typical day, you wouldn't be willing to spend the afternoon working as a math tutor for less than $35. What is your opportunity cost of seeing a movie this afternoon?
