Neve Commercial Bank is the only bank in the town of York, Pennsylvania. On a typical Friday, an average of 8 customers per hour arrive at the bank to transact business. There is one teller at the bank, and the average time required to transact business is 3 minutes. It is assumed that service times may be described by the negative exponential distribution. A single line would be used, and the customer at the front of the line would go to the first available bank teller. If a single teller is used:
a) The average time in the line? = ______ minutes?.
b) The average number in the line? = _______customers?.
c) The average time in the system? = _____minutes? .
d) The average number in the system? = ______customers?
e) The probability that the bank is empty? = ____?(round your response to two decimal? places).
f) CEO Benjamin Neve is considering adding a second teller? (who would work at the same rate as the? first) to reduce the waiting time for customers. He assumes that this will cut the waiting time in half.
g) If a second teller is? added, the average time a customer spends in the queue? = ____ minutes?
h) If a second teller is? added, the average number of customers in the queue? =??____ customers.
I) If a second teller is? added, the average time a customer spends in the system? = _____minutes
j) If a second teller is? added, the average number of customers in the system? =?? customers?

2. In the class ic film, Mary Poppins, the Banks children are players in a strategic game with a number of different nannies. In their view of the world nannies are inherently harsh, and playing tricks on nannies is great fun. That is, they view themselves as playing a game in which the nanny moves first, showing herself to be either Harsh or Nice, and the chil dren move second, choosing to be either Good or Mischievous. The nanny prefers to have Good children to take care of but is also inherently harsh, and so she gets her highest payoff of 4 from (Harsh, Good) and her lowest payoff of 1 from (Nice, Mischievous ), with (Nice, Good) yielding 3 and (Harsh, Mischievous) yielding 2. The children similarly most prefer to have a Nice nanny and then to be Mischievous; they get their highest two payoffs when the nanny is Nice (4 if Mischievous; 3 if Good) and their lowes t two payoffs when the nanny is Harsh (2 if Mischievous, 1 if Good).
a. Draw the game tree for this game and find the subgame - perfect equilibrium in the absence of any strategic moves.
b. In the f il m, before the arrival of Mary Poppins, the children write their own ad for a new nanny in which they state: “If you won’t scold and dominate us, we will never give you cause to hate us; we won’t hide your spectacles so you can’t see, put toads in your bed, or pepper in your tea.” Use the tree from part (a) to arg ue that this statement constitutes a promise. What would the outcome of the game be if the children keep their promise?
c. What is the implied threat that goes with the promise in part (b)? Is that implied threat automatically credible? Explain.
d. How cou ld the children make the promise in part (b) credible ?
e. Is the promise in part (b) a compellent or deterrent? Explai n your answer by referring to the status quo in the game – namely, what would happen in the abs ence of the strategic move .

Edsel Research Labs has $29.60 million in assets. Currently half
of these assets are financed with long-term debt at 6 percent and
half with common stock having a par value of $10. Ms. Edsel, the
Vice President of Finance, wishes to analyze two refinancing plans,
one with more debt (D) and one with more equity (E). The company
earns a return on assets before interest and taxes of 6 percent.
The tax rate is 35 percent.
Under Plan D, a $7.40 million long-term bond would be sold at an interest rate of 12 percent and 740,000 shares of stock would be purchased in the market at $10 per share and retired. Under Plan E, 740,000 shares of stock would be sold at $10 per share and the $7,400,000 in proceeds would be used to reduce long-term debt.
a-1. How would each of these plans affect
earnings per share? Consider the current plan and the two new
plans. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Earning per Shares
Current ______
Plan D _______
Plan E ________
a-2. Which plan(s) would produce the highest EPS?
Note that due to tax loss carry-forwards and carry-backs, taxes can
be a negative number.

b. Which plan would be most favorable if return on
assets increased to 9 percent? Compare the current plan and the two
new plans.

c. Assuming return on assets is back to the
original 6 percent, but the interest rate on new debt in Plan D is
8 percent, which of the three plans will produce the highest
EPS?

If two events are independent how do we calculate the and probability, P(E and F), of the two events?
(As a side note: this "and" probability, P(E and F), is called the joint probability of Events E and F. Likewise, the probability of an individual event, like P(E), is called the marginal probability of Event E.)

There is single object to be sold to one of the n potential buyers. Each buyer has a valuation of vi for the object. Consider the auction rule where the winner is the highest bidder, and pays the minimum of all the bids, i.e. min{bi : i ∈ N}. In this game, truthtelling is a dominant strategy equilibrium. Is it true or false ?
