Exam 12: Bargaining

Two individuals with diverse interests are bargaining over the distribution of $500 in which payoffs must be in increments of $10. Each player submits a one time bid. If the sum of the bids is less than or equal to $500, each player gets the amount of their bid and the game ends. If the sum of the bids exceed $500, the bargaining ends and the players go home empty handed. The most likely strategy profile for this game is: I. {$0, $0} II. {$10, $10} II. {$500, $0} III. {$0, $500} IV {$250, $250) Which of the following is correct?

It is March and Ozzie wants to purchase Harriet's season tickets to Boston Red Sox games. Ozzie is a member of "Red Sox Nation" and can hardly wait to get his hands on Harriet's season tickets. Ozzie is willing to pay up to $4,000. Failure to come to an agreement will reduce Ozzie's gain by 80 percent. Although Harriet likes baseball, she would rather go to the movies. The season tickets were a gift from here good-for-nothing son-in law. Be that as it may, the minimum amount that Harriet will accept for the tickets is $3,000. Failure to come to an agreement will reduce Harriet's gain by 5 percent. If there is no limit on the number of bargaining rounds, how much should Ozzie offer Harriet?

Andrew wants to purchase Adam's car. Andrew is prepared to pay a maximum of $2,000. Adam is not willing to accept anything lower than $1,000. Suppose that any failure to reach an agreement reduces Andrew's and Adam's gain from reaching an agreement by 10 percent. If there is no limit to the number of negotiating rounds, how much should Adam accept for his car?

Molly is interested buying Polly's antique doll house. Molly is prepared to spend up to $2,500. Polly will not sell the doll house for less than $2,000. Polly has discovered, however, that Molly has $2,500 to spend. Molly and Polly are prepared to bargain over the doll house until "hell freezes over." If Molly makes the first offer and there are an odd number of offers and counteroffers, Polly will end up selling the doll house for:

Andrew wants to purchase Adam's car. Andrew is prepared to pay a maximum of $2,000. Adam is not willing to accept anything lower than $1,000. Suppose Andrew makes the first offer and there is an even number offers and counteroffers. If Andrew and Adam are equally patient, Adam will sell his car for:

Beanie wishes to purchase Cecil's house. The most that Beanie is willing to pay is $300,000. The least that Cecil is willing to accept is $250,000. Suppose that any failure to reach an agreement reduces Beanie's gain by 3 percent and reduces Cecil's gain by 7 percent. If there is no limit to the number of bargaining rounds, how much should Beanie offer for the house?

Andrew wants to purchase Adam's car. Andrew is prepared to pay a maximum of $2,000. Adam is not willing to accept anything lower than $1,000. Suppose that any failure to reach an agreement reduces Andrew's and Adam's gain from reaching an agreement by 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively. If there is no limit to the number of negotiating rounds, what percentage of the bargaining surplus will Adam receive?

Beanie wants to purchase Cecil's house. The most that Beanie is willing to pay is$300,000. The least that Cecil is willing to accept is $250,000. Suppose that any failure to reach an agreement reduces Beanie's and Cecil's gain by 7 percent. If there is no limit to the number of bargaining rounds, how much should Beanie offer for the house?
