Suppose that a typhoon occurs each year with a probability 1/12 and that a typhoon will destroy bananas from exactly half the farmers who choose to plant in a particular year. Calculate the expected profit of each farmer (including the planting costs) if exactly 110 farmers enter the market, and each chooses to plant 12,500 kgs of bananas. Explain why you would expect additional farmers to enter the market when typhoons are possible. Discuss what this implies for equilibrium prices in years where a typhoon does not occur.

. Consider a simultaneous move game between a teachers’ union and a university. Each agent can bargain hard (H) or accommodate (A). If both the parties bargain hard (H,H), each would gain nothing. If only one party bargains hard the accommodating party gets a benefit of $1 million while the bargaining party gets a $5 million, while if they both accommodate (A,A), they each get $3 million in benefit.
a. Draw the bargaining game in normal form (a matrix).
b. Does either player have a strictly dominated strategy? b. Find each party’s best response and the Nash equilibrium in pure strategies.
c. Is this Nash equilibrium Pareto efficient? Why or why not?
