Please solve a Suppose that without a seat belt, drivers who travel at 0 m.p.h. (mile per hour) have a 100% chance of staying alive, while drivers who travel at 100 m.p.h. have 0% chance of staying alive. Suppose that with a seat belt, drivers who travel at 0 m.p.h. have a 100% chance of staying alive, drivers who travel at 100 m.p.h. have a 50 % chance of staying alive and drivers who travel at 200 m.p.h. has no chance of staying alive. (a) Suppose a driver prefers more chances of staying alive to less, driving faster than slower. Draw and indifference curve diagram relating safety (measured by chance of staying alive) on the horizontal axis and speed (measured in m.p.h.) on the vertical. Draw the budget constraints of a driver with a seat belt and a driver without a seat belt. (You may assume these constraints are straight lines.) (b) True or False: If speed and safety are both normal goods, then the invention of seat belts will certainly make people drive faster, but might or might…

1. Kim owns a Porsche and a Toyota. The Porsche has a fuel economy of 15 miles per gallon (mpg) and she plans to drive it 3,000 miles this year. The Toyota gets 30 miles per gallon and she plans to drive it 15,000 miles this year. Suppose Kim can install a device that improves the fuel economy of any vehicle by 5 miles per gallon. However, she only has one of the devices. Which vehicle should she install it on if her goal is to minimize fuel consumption this year? Assume that the device does not hamper vehicle performance in any way.
Sue Tom Good A 10 4 Select one: Good B 15 5 As shown in the table above, Sue and Tom each can produce two different types of goods. For Sue, if she only produces Good A, then she can produce 10 units of Good A per day. If she only produces Good B, then she can produce 15 units of Good B per day. For Tom, if he only produces Good A, then she can produce 4 units of Good A per day. If she only produces Good B, then she can produce 5 units of Good B per day. Which of the following statement is correct about comparative advantage? O a. Tom has a comparative advantage over Sue in the production of Good A. Sue has a comparative advantage over Tom in the production of Good B O b. Tom has a comparative advantage over Sue in both tasks O c. Sue has a comparative advantage over Tom in both tasks O d. Sue has a comparative advantage over Tom in the production of Good A. Tom has a comparative advantage over Sue in the production of Good B
3. Noah and Xaviera love to play "Hide and Seek." It is a simple game, but it continues to amuse. It goes like this. Xaviera hides upstairs or downstairs. Noah can look upstairs or downstairs but not in both places. If he finds Xaviera, Noah gets one scoop of ice cream and Xaviera gets none. If he does not find Xaviera, Xaviera gets one scoop of ice cream and Noah gets none. a. Fill in the payoffs in the matrix below! Is this a zero-sum game? What are the Nash equilibria in pure strategies? Hide and Seek Xaviera Upstairs Downstairs Upstairs Noah Downstairs b. Find a Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies for this game. c. Noah and Xaviera made new rules for this game. Now if Noah finds Xaviera upstairs, he gets two scoops of ice cream, but if he finds her downstairs, he gets one scoop. If Noah finds Xaviera, she gets no ice cream, but if he doesn't find her she gets one scoop. Fill in the payoffs in the graph below! Are there any Nash equilibria in pure strategies?

5. Gina and Bob are co-owners of a surf shop. Both Gina and Bob prefer to skip work and go surfing, but if they both surf, the shop is closed. Each co-owner must choose between working and surfing. If they both work, they earn $600 each. If both surf, they earn $200 each (the value they place on surfing). If only one of the co-owners surfs while the other works, the worker gets $800 and the surfer gets $1000. a. Suppose that Gina and Bob make their decision simultaneously. Depict their interaction on a payoff table showing all outcomes (payouts) payouts. Identify the equilibrium outcome(s). b. Now suppose that Gina is an early riser, whereas Bob sleeps in. Therefore, Gina decides first whether to work or surf. By the time Bob makes his decision, Gina has already committed to one of the two options. Depict this interaction in a sequential game tree. Show all the payouts and identify the equilibrium outcome(s). c. Would it be in Bob’s best interest to get up sooner, so that he can…
Review the numbers for Canada and Venezuelafrom Table 33.12 which describes how many barrelsof oil and tons of lumber the workers can produce. Usethese numbers to answer the rest of this question.a. Draw a production possibilities frontier for eachcountry. Assume there are 100 workers in eachcountry. Canadians and Venezuelans desire bothoil and lumber. Canadians want at least 2,000tons of lumber. Mark a point on their productionpossibilities where they can get at least 3,000tons.b. Assume that the Canadians specializecompletely because they figured out they havea comparative advantage in lumber. They arewilling to give up 1,000 tons of lumber. Howmuch oil should they ask for in return for thislumber to be as well off as they were with notrade? How much should they ask for if theywant to gain from trading with Venezuela? Note:We can think of this “ask” as the relative price ortrade price of lumber.c. Is the Canadian “ask” you identified in (b) alsobeneficial for Venezuelans? Use the…

a) What is the island's maximTwo fields can be planted on Robinson Crusoe's island. Each can be used to grow oranges or apples. If Field A is planted entirely with oranges, it will produce 2 bushels (bu.) of oranges. If A is planted entirely with apples, it will yield 4 bu. of that crop. For Field B, the numbers are reversed: B will produce 4 bu. of oranges if entirely planted with oranges, or it will produce 2 bu. of apples if entirely devoted to that crop. IF A FIELD IS SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO CROPS, the output of each crop from that field will be proportional to the fraction of the field planted in that crop. For example, if half of B is planted with each crop, then it will produce 2 bu. of oum possible output of oranges? __________ b) Graph your answer in a) on the axes found on the next page and label it point H..(Put oranges on the horizontal axis and apples on the vertical axis) c) What is the island's maximum possible output of apples? __________ d) Graph your answer in c) on the…
