A village has five residents, each of whom has
an accumulated savings of $50. Each villager
can use the money to buy a government bond
that pays 10% interest per year or to buy a
year-old goat, send it onto the commons to
graze, and sell it after one year. The price of
the goat that the villager will get at the end of
the year depends on the amount of weight it
gains while grazing on the commons, which in
turn depends on the number of goats sent
onto the commons, as shown in table below.
Assume that if a villager is indifferent between
buying a bond and buying a goat, the villager
will buy a goat.
