Ken and Daniel always eat miso soup and sushi in exact proportions: Ken eats two miso per one sushi; Daniel eats one miso per one sushi. They throw away any extra soup or sushi as it would not give them any pleasure. Once, they were stuck in the office together for hours, marking students' assignments. Ken had one miso soup and 9 sushi with him; Daniel had 9 miso and one sushi. (For the purpose of this question, assume that miso and sushi can be divided into little pieces, so one-half miso or one-hundredth of sushi makes sense) a) Draw the Edgeworth box for Ken and Daniel. Please put Ken at the origin and Daniel "upside down"; put miso on the horizontal axis and sushi on the vertical one. Show their endowment point. b) Show all Pareto optimal allocations of miso and sushi between Ken and Daniel in the Edgeworth Box. You can use the graph from a). Please note that this question is a bit tricky, though not difficult. Draw a bunch of indifference curves and look for "tangencies".

u work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, flopsicles, and mookies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies increases by 4%, the quantity of flopsicles sold increases by 1% and the quantity of mookies sold decreases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together. Complete the first column of the following table by computing the…

Consider the following situation. Maipo and Pisco need to decide how to divide a cake between the two of them. Both like cake and want to get as much cake as they can. They decide to let Maipo cut the cake first and then Pisco gets to pick which piece he wants. For simplicity, assume that Maipo can only cut the cake in two ways: He can either divide it into two pieces that are equal size (i.e., both will get half the cake) or he can divide the cake into two pieces where one piece is twice the size of the other (i.e., one will get a piece that is two-thirds of the cake and the other will get a piece that is one-third of the cake). Set up this game as a sequential game and draw the game tree that represents it Note: You can either draw the game tree by hand and then photograph/scan the tree and paste it into the assignment or use the drawing tool in Word to draw the tree. Find the sub-game perfect Nash Equilibria to this game. Underline the strategies or highlight the…
Neha and Lorenzo need to decide which one of them will take time off from work to complete the rather urgent task of digging postholes for their new fence. Neha is pretty good with a post auger; she can dig the holes in 30 minutes. Lorenzo is somewhat slow; it takes him 5 hours to dig the holes. Neha earns $110 per hour as a personal trainer, while Lorenzo earns $25 per hour as a clerk. Keeping in mind that either Neha or Lorenzo must take time off from work to dig the holes, who has the lower opportunity cost of completing the task? a) Neha and Lorenzo face identical opportunity costs b)Neha C)Lorenzo

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?
Scott and Cindy both produce only pizza and tacos. In one hour, Cindy can produce 20 pizzas or 40 tacos. In one hour, Scott can produce 40 pizzas or 50 tacos. Based on this information, the person specializing in the production of tacos is willing to sell 10 tacos in return for at least pizzas and the other person is willing to pay no more than pizzas for the 10 tacos. Enter numerical values, rounding to two decimal places, and do not enter fractions. For example, enter 23.00 or 43.12.

Two roommates John and Joe are playing a simultaneous game of cleaning the apartment. If neither of them clean, the apartment gets filthy and both get a utility of 2. If John cleans and Joe doesn’t, John gets a utility of 1 and Joe gets a utility of 4. If Joe cleans and John doesn’t, Joe gets a utility of 1 and John gets a utility of 4 and if both clean up the apartment, they each get a utility of 3.What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? Group of answer choices Joe cleans, John doesn’t John cleans, Joe doesn’t Both of them clean the apartment Neither of them clean the apartment
Fill in the blanks: Suppose that Jake and Jill have the ability to pick either apples or strawberries. The following table shows how much they can pick in one hour. Quantity Picked in One Hour Pounds of Apples Pounds of Strawberries Jake 8 4 Jill 10 10 If Jake and Jill each has 10 hours available and each person divides the time equally between picking apples and strawberries, then together they can pick pounds of apples and pounds of strawberries. Now if Jake spends all 10 hours picking apples and Jill spends all 10 hours picking strawberries, then together they can pick pounds of apples and pounds of strawberries.
