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.

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.

- There are three fishermen, and each day they individually decide howmany boats to send out to catch fish in the local lake. A fisherman can sendout one or two boats, and the daily cost of a boat is $15. The more boatssent out, the more fish are caught. However, since there are only so manyfish to be caught on a given day, the more boats another fisherman sendsout, the fewer fish the remaining fishermen can catch. The accompanyingtable reports the size of a fisherman’s catch, depending on how many boats each fisherman sends out.A fisherman’s current-period payoff is the value of his catch (assumethat each fish sells for a price of 1), less the cost of the boats. For example,if a fisherman sends out two boats and the other two fishermen each sendout one boat, then a fisherman’s payoff is 75 - 30 = 45. The stage game issymmetric, so the table is to be used to determine any fisherman’s payoff.The fishermen play an infinitely repeated game where the stage game hasthem simultaneously choose…arrow_forwardUse the data in the following graph to illustrate the law of increasing costs numerically.
