QUESTION 1
(a) An art dealer's client is willing to buy the Sunflower painting at $50,000. The dealer can
buy the painting today for $40,000 or can wait a day and buy the painting tomorrow (if it
has not been sold) for $30,000. The dealer may also wait another day and buy the painting
(if it is still available) for $26,000. At the end of the third day, the painting will no longer be
available for sale. Each day, there is a 0.60 probability that the painting will be sold.
Construct a decision tree and determine the strategy that will maximize the dealer's
expected profit.

Each driver obtains a benefit v from the journey and incurs a cost c(N ) that increases with the number of drivers on the road due to congestion. Suppose that the cost incurred is given by c(N) = a+bN, for some positive numbers a, b. If the agent decides not to use the road, they receive 0. You may assume throughout that the number of drivers N can be any real number (rather than an integer). Each driver uses the road at most once. the number of drivers that join the road is Ne = (v−a)/b (iv) Suppose that the government charges a toll t (a congestion charge) for each journey. Find the optimum toll. Interpret your answer in terms of the externality that each driver imposes on others.arrow_forward
