Suppose that A and B benefits changed based on whether or not they work together. Imagine they are negotiating over a lease on some office space. In this case A and B would gain more from having the office space all to itself. Say, A's benefit from leasing the offices on its own is 100 while its benefit from sharing the offices with B is only 85. Similarly, B's benefit from leasing the offices on its own is 200 while its benefit from sharing the offices with A is only 175. How then do we calculate how much each party should pay when they work together? Let's go through the example when the cost is 100. We first want to calculate the pie. The pie is a. 15 b. 35 c. 50 d. 80 e. None of the above

PA no Page 5 8. Pat and Kerry are considering a partnership. With all Pat's resources, Pat can produce 50 X or 20 Y. With all of Kerry's resources, Kerry can produce 30 X or 30 Y.

Alec and Ellie are the only detectives in the town of Broadchurch. Assume efficient production. Each has 10 hours in a day to allocate between conducting interviews and completing paperwork. They work independently and do not trade any jobs. Right now they each spend half their time completing paperwork and half their time conducting interviews. In one hour Alec can produce 4 interviews or 9 files of paperwork. In one hour, Ellie can produce 5 interviews or 1 files of paperwork. A trade is proposed between Alec and Ellie at the following price: 1 interview for 18 files of paperwork. If they trade at this price, they will fully specialize. At this price, what is the total number of interviews conducted in Broadchurch? Enter a number only.
Becky and Sarah are sisters who share a room. Their room can easily get messy, and their parents are always telling them to tidy it. Here are the costs and benefits to both Becky and Sarah of taking the time to clean their room: If both Becky and Sarah clean, they each spend two hours and get a clean room. If Becky decides not to clean and Sarah does all the cleaning, then Sarah spends 10 hours cleaning (Becky spends 0) but Sarah is exhausted. The same would occur for Becky if Sarah decided not to clean—Becky spends 10 hours and becomes exhausted. If both girls decide not to clean, they both have a dirty room. What is the best outcome for Becky and Sarah? What is the worst outcome? (It would help you to construct a prisoner’s dilemma table.) Unfortunately, we know that the optimal outcome will most likely not happen, and that the sisters probably will choose the worst one instead. Explain what it is about Becky’s and Sarah’s reasoning that will lead them both to choose the worst…

Problem 3. Suppose you and your class mate have to do a group assignment. Both of you can decide to work or shirk. If you both work, then both will get a good mark but both incur the cost of working. If one person works, you get a bad mark but the person who shirked will not have to put in the effort. If both shirk then the students will get an even worse mark but do not have to put in effort. The following table represents the individuals' utilities (as always the first nimber is the payoff of the row player): you work shirk classmate work 4,4 5,1 shirk 1,5 2,2 e) Suppose both students are inequality averse and lose half a unit of utility for each unit difference in payoffs. In other words u(x, y) =21 (ay)/2. Show the payoff table with the psychological payoffs. Find all pure-strategy Nash equilibria and discuss.
Syukri, Iqmal and Amir run the only shop in Wang Ulu. They sell electrical goods such as televisions, washing machines, etc. However, their objectives are different from each other. Syukri wants to make as much profit as he can, Iqmal wants to sell as many goods as he can without losing money, and Amir wants to earn as much revenue as he can.
