Each ninja household goes to see Akali for her services at most one time per week. There are additional dangers on the street going there-and back again which are equal to $0.5 for every tenth of the mile. The reservation price of each ninja to pay for Akali services is $10. To serve each ninja, Akali incurs $2 costs. What the maximum price should Akali charge if she wants to serve the whole Ionia? How much would she earn?arrow_forward31. You may be unwilling to buy a used car because you suspect the last owner found out the car was a lemon. You may treat a car you rented with a little less care than you'd use on your own car. a.

The first example primarily illustrates adverse selection; the second primarily illustrates moral hazard. d. The first example primarily illustrates moral hazard; the second primarily illustrates adverse selection.arrow_forward

- 1. A buyer is considering buying a used car from a seller. The car's quality q in uniformly distributed on [0,2] (this interval represents the large number of sellers on the market with cars of varying quality) and known to the seller, but not to the buyer. The buyer's value vB of the car equals its expected quality while the seller's value the car of quality q is given by vs(q) 99€ [0,1] 99€ [1,2] We are interested in studying Bayes Nash equilibria of the game in which the market price is set at some exogenously given fixed price p € [0, ∞0). The payoffs are the same as in class: if both agree to the sale, it's (v-p,p- vs(q)), otherwise it's (0,0), where vB is the expected quality of the car given the seller's strategy. (a) For each price p = [0, ∞), describe the subset QP of types of the seller willing to sell their car. (b) For each price pЄ [0,00), describe the expected quality q =E[q|q € QP] of the car for the set of seller types you identified above. (c) For which prices pЄ…arrow_forwardExplain the nature and consequences of asymmetric information in a market for used appliances.
