Suppose (completely hypothetical) I am teaching a class and the final exam comes and goes with two students missing the (in-class) exam. After it is over, the two students come to me with a story that they were returning to campus and the car they were in got a flat tire, so they were late. Out of immense generosity I allow them to take the final. I put them in separate rooms and distribute the final exam. The exam is the same for both students and consists of 1 question: Which tire went flat? If their answers are identical then they each receive 100 points, but if their answers differ they then receive 0 points each. Draw out the payoff matrix of this game and define all NE.

You pay a cover charge of $50 to get into a popular local nightclub. As the DJ is playing and you are dancing, you suddenly realize that you would much rather be at home studying economics. But $50 is a lot of money for you. Shouldn’t that affect your decision to stay or go? Select one: a. No. The $50 is a sunk cost. b. Yes. The $50 is an avoidable cost. c. Yes. Stay and get your money’s worth. d. No. This is your special night out, so don’t consider costs of any kind.
Bonnie and Clyde are next-door neighbors. Both have identical yards with identical pools, The table below shows the amount of time it takes them to complete their yard work. Bonnie Clyde Rake the yard 40 minutes 150 minutes Clean the pool 180 minutes 120 minutes Bonnie and Clyde agree to completely specialize in the task for which they have the lower opportunity cost. In other words, one person will rake both of the yards, and one person will clean both of the pools. If they do this, how many minutes did Bonnie save by agreeing to this deal, compared with the original situation where she would have to rake one yard and clean one pool?

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".

For many years, states levy a special sales tax on wine often called a "sin tax". The reasoning behind these special sales taxes is that wine consumption can lead to particular social costs such as drunk driving, violence, etc. However, many medical studies have demonstrated that moderate consumption of red wine can lower the risks for many diseases such as coronary heart disease. Thus, there are social benefits as well. Suppose that states, in recognition of some of the benefits to wine consumption, decide to decrease the sales tax on Oregon Pinot Noir. What effect will this have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, and deadweight loss increases. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus decreases, and deadweight loss decreases. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus increases, and deadweight loss is unchanged. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, and deadweight loss decreases.
