Briefly explain why there is no Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium outcome where both players go to the opera.

I will not negotiate about the price,,my price is fixed

1) Consider the following game between players One and Two. First, One decides whether to wear a swimsuit or regular clothes, and Two observes this. Next, the players simultaneously decide whether to go the Beach or to the Opera. If One is wearing regular clothes, the payoffs are as in the standard Battle of the Sexes game where One has a preference for the beach and Two has a preference for the opera (i.e., One’s payoff is 2 if they both go to the beach, 1 if they both go to the Opera, and 0 if they go to different places, etc.). If One is wearing a swimsuit, the payoffs are the same as above except that One’s payoff is -1from going to the Opera. (a) Draw the extensive form of this game. (b) Find the pure strategy Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibria. Describe explicitly the equilibrium strategies. (c) Briefly explain why there is no Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium outcome where both players go to the opera. (d) Find a Nash Equilibrium in which both players go to the opera.

 

 

 

2) Consider a game in which players A and B both have two actions, Left and Right. Suppose the game is played twice. For each case below, (i) draw the corresponding game tree with the appropriate information sets; (ii) give the number of strategies each player has; (iii) give the number of subgames of the game. (a) A moves first, B observes A’s action, then B moves. A then observes B’s action, and the game is repeated in a similar fashion.In what follows, assume that players simultaneously decide between Left and Right, and this simultaneous game is played twice. (b) Once the game has been played for the first time, players’ actions are publicly revealed. Players then play again. (c) Once the game has been played for the first time, player B learns the action A has taken. Player A learns nothing. Players then play again. (d) Once the game has been played for the first time, player A learns the action B has taken. Not only does player B not learn anything, but he forgets what action he chose. Players then play again.

Two firms play the following game. Firm 1 chooses a quantity q1, and this is observed by Firm 2, who in turn chooses his quantity q2. The inverse demand function is P(q1 + q2) = 5 – (q1 + q2) and both firms’ marginal cost is 1. Firms’ profit at the end of the game is their revenue minus their cost. (a) Find the quantities produced in a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium and each firm’s profit. (b) How much would Firm 2 be willing to pay to change the order of play and become the first one to move?

 

1.  Consider the following extensive form game (attached): (a) Give the normal form representation of this game. (b) Find all pure strategy Nash equilibria. (c) Using Backward Induction, find the Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium of this game

. List at least 5 trade-off type decisions that the firm’s managers would have to make to establish the optimum supply chain.

Put together a PowerPoint presentation with 12–15 slides that can be used for both internal purposes and when you meet with all of your vendors to kick off a vendor certification program. To earn full credit on the PowerPoint, you must use colored slides, clip art or charts, or photos on each slide to make them eye-appealing, along with 150–200 words of speaker notes for each slide, explaining the slide’s content. Slides must not be covered with commentary; that is what the speaker notes are for.
Assume the following information about a company:
  • The company is currently assessing a make versus buy decision.
  • The company currently makes product line “A” using proprietary technology. Its variable cost/unit is $10, and its fixed cost allocation of overhead based on producing 10,000/yr is $20/unit, for a total standard cost of $30/unit.
  • The company also makes 3 other completely different and separate product lines on different equipment.
  • The company has a quote from an outside vendor for this product A, for $18/unit.

Assignment:

  • Given the data presented, what criteria would you use to evaluate the make versus buy decision that faces you?
  • As a company’s managers create the optimum supply chain, there are many criteria that must be weighed, and in some cases, trade-offs are made. List at least 5 trade-off type decisions that the firm’s managers would have to make to establish the optimum supply chain. Include why it is a trade-off and the added information that you would need to actually make the best choice.

The following is an example of a trade-off:

  • Should the manufacturing plant be located closer to its raw material vendors or its customer base? Why?
  • Make up a checklist that a company’s vendor certification team should fill out when it visits a vendor prior to certifying them. What are the pros and cons of installing a vendor certification program?

Assignment Submission

Explain different recent events and I could not come up with anything good, and the only thing in my mind was the ice bucket challenge that happened recently and how it can play a major role in this assignment.

According to our instructor, the assignment reflects our major (discipline), so in my case, my major (or discipline) is Communication

And in the first part OBJECTIVE A on the instructions paper, it says: “Map the two preliminary disciplines required for you to create an INDS
research portfolio. Provide the following:…”

I just wanted the writer to know that all the part where it says something like “two preliminary disciplines” or “two disciplines” to just ignore that because it is meant for students of 2 majors (or disciplines) but since I am one of the Communication Major students then the writer may focus on Communication alone.

I think it would be best that the writer reads the instructions I have attached. And if he/she has any questions I will be ready to answer them

but most of what you need to know is that I am a Communication Major Student, And in OBJECTIVE B part of the instructions paper, I am the second type of Interdisciplinarian Character.

I could not understand what the professor had requested so I need some help. Each point under the objective can be answered in a form of 3-5 sentence short paragraphs. My classmates had 2 pages so I do not want to add more

In the part where it says –
Phenomena: What is a typical “event” or “situation” observed by your discipline for
investigation? Provide a recent article from each discipline and write a summary of the
article.

I was thinking of different recent events and I could not come up with anything good, and the only thing in my mind was the ice bucket challenge that happened recently and how it can play a major role in this assignment. Or the other event is Jeremy Clarkson from the UK TV show Top Gear just got fired after almost 20 seasons playing on air.

I have also attached my first draft which was bad but just for reference to understand the assignment better. And to see my style of writing, I am an international student so my English is not perfect.

I also attached the book by Repko for any reference needed

Thank you for your cooperation and help and message me for any questions

Explain how it supports, broadens ,challenges, contradicts or changes your understanding of the social issue that the article addres “pulling out” at least two points to comment on.

You will need to summarize the short reading and then explain how it supports, broadens ,challenges, contradicts or changes your understanding of the social issue that the article addres “pulling out” at least two points to comment on. Although you will need to provide a short overview of the op-ed somewhere in the beginning of your essay, you should focus on what new information you have acquired and how the professional journalists discussion of the issue has affect/ impacted your understanding of the topic. Further more you will research and select an academic source that will support, demonstrate, challenge and or expand on your analysis and document that source according to MLAspecifications.
The topic of the essay you working with is “Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns” by Molly Ivins. Contact me for any questions

EXPLAIN “MUST BE MENTIONED IN YOUR THESIS STATEMENT”.

I want you to write an analysis of Philip Zimbardo’s “Stanford Prison Experiment.” The primary goal of this assignment is for you to develop a critical perspective on Zimbardo’s essay that utilizes an outside source which I uploaded, to help you develop your argument. A analysis doesn’t need to be a complete take-down of the text at hand, and on the other end of the spectrum, it also need to be full-scale showering of praise on the text. Instead, a good analysis engages specific aspects of the text in order to make a point about what you believe are the important issues in the text. Think of your outside source – Which I uploaded – as a way to help you articulate and reflect on the big picture – the larger issues and questions surrounding zimbardo’s study (for example, the nature of evil, or the relation between individual identity and role-playing, or the complex nature of authority and obedience, etc.) A good analysis will always address one or several of these larger issues. Use this big picture issues ( Which should be addressed by your thesis statement) as an organizational/structural principle for your essay. In other words, every point you make in the body of your paper should connect to develop what you are arguing in your thesis statement about the big picture. Your second source, must play a central role in helping you elaborate argument, and “MUST BE MENTIONED IN YOUR THESIS STATEMENT” * Read the zimbardo’s experiment and second source Disobedience as a psychological and moral problem, and utilize the second source to perfectly analysis Zimbardo’s Experiment *
(((((( Format)))): This must be a well-structured essay with an introduction and a conclusion, and with an argumentative and detailed thesis statement at the end of your introduction and the start of your conclusion Set the stage by introducing the main ideas or concerns that you will be discussing in the body of the essay. Make sure to introduce *BOTH* sources in your introductory paragraph, as well as what you will be saying about them. Your thesis statement, coming at the end of the introduction, should clearly and specifically lay out the original point you will be making. Begin your first body paragraph with a short summary of Zimbardo’s Experiment. From here, transition to your analysis of Zimbardo, THE SUMMARY MUST NOT BE LONGER THAN A PAGE. Your priority in this essay is critique, and your critique should be structured according to the needs of the argument that you are making. This means that there is no set format for how you bring in your second source, as long as you incorporate it in a way that sharpens and develops your argument. Do not spend more than three sentences summarizing your second source. First Paragraph: – Introduce your sources – Thesis – Introduce your topic – A short summary ( no longer than a page for the experiment, no longer than 3 sentences for the second source) – Switch to critical mode and start building argument. Please read these details and pay attention to them. Also, read the zimbardo’s experiment “First source which you will analysis”, and the second source (Walker+Percy) ” Which you will use to support your critique” Thank you:*

Also give title from your own words
Moreover, don’t forget the Works Cited
