Hello , I cannot find the answer for this questions : Problem 3. (Signaling game: market for used cars) Consider the market for used cars and assume that the cars can be of one of two possible quality levels: low (the ’lemons’) and high (the ’plums’). The seller knows the true quality of the car (the seller’s type is given by the quality level) but the buyers only know the probability distribution of the cars in the market. Assume that the buyer’s initial (prior) beliefs are as follows: probability p for a car being of high quality, and probability (1 − p) for a car being of low quality. If the seller sells his car, then his payoff is equal to the price paid by the buyer. If the seller does not sell the car, his payoff will be equal to his valuation of the used car: $10000 if it is of high quality and $6000 if it is of low quality. The buyer’s valuation of cars with high quality is $12000, and his valuation of low-quality cars is $7000. However, he only learns the true quality after the purchase. If the buyer purchases a car, then his payoff is given by the difference between his true valuation and the price he pays. If he does not buy a car, his payoff is zero. (a) First, consider a market with complete information for both sides of the market. Explain why, given the buyers’ and sellers’ valuations, all cars will be sold. Is this outcome Pareto-optimal? (b) Now consider the market with incomplete information as described above. What would be a seller’s pooling strategy (to offer all the cars at the same price)? If sellers follow this pooling strategy, what would be their best response (strategy and beliefs) given their prior belief p? Given this best response of the buyers, is it optimal for the seller to follow the pooling strategy given p? (c) Find values for prior belief p such that there is a perfect Bayesian Nash equilibrium with pooling. Is this outcome Pareto-optimal, i.e. are all those cars sold that would be sold with complete information?

Thank you , Dania

Scenario

Cartech Manufacturing is engaged in the production of replacement parts for automobiles. One plant specializes in the production of two parts: Part 271 and Part 342. Part 271 produces the highest volume of activity, and for many years it was the only part produced by the plant. Five years ago, Part 342 was added. Part 342 was more difficult to manufacture and required special tooling and setups. Profits increased for the first three years after the addition of the new product. In the past two years, however, the plant has faced intense competition, and its sales of Part 271 have dropped. In fact, the plant showed a small loss in the most recent reporting period. Much of the competition was from foreign sources, and the plant manager was convinced that the foreign producers were guilty of selling the part below the cost of producing it. The following conversation between Tricia Goodson, plant manager, and Jackson Fielding divisional marketing manager, reflects the concerns of the division about the future of the plant and its products.

Jackson: You know, Tricia, the divisional manager is really concerned about the plant’s trend. He indicated that in this budgetary environment, we can’t afford to carry plants that don’t show a profit. We shut one down just last month because it couldn’t handle the competition.

Tricia: Joe, you and I both know that Part 271 has a reputation for quality and value. It has been a mainstay for years. I don’t understand what’s happening.

Jackson: I just received a call from one of our major customers concerning Part 271. He said that a sales representative from another firm offered the part at $20 per unit-- $11 less than what we charge. It’s hard to compete with a price like that. Perhaps the plant is simply obsolete.

Tricia: No. I don’t buy that. From my sources, I know we have good technology. We are efficient. And it’s costing a little more than $21 to produce that part. I don’t see how these companies can afford to sell it so cheaply. I’m not convinced that we should meet the price. Perhaps a better strategy is to emphasize producing and selling more of Part 342. Our margin is high on this product, and we have virtually no competition for it.

Jackson: You may be right. I think we can increase the price significantly and not lose business. I called a few customers to see how they would react to a 25 percent increase in price, and they all said that they would still purchase the same quantity as before.

Tricia: It sounds promising. However, before we make a major commitment to Part 342, I think we had better explore other possible explanations. I want to know how our production costs compare with those of our competitors. Perhaps we could be more efficient and find a way to earn our normal return on Part 271. The market is so much bigger for this part. I’m not sure we can survive with only Part 342. Besides, my production people hate that part. It’s very difficult to produce.

After her meeting with Jackson, Tricia requested an investigation of the production costs and comparative efficiency. She received approval to hire Wake Consulting Group to make an independent investigation.

You, as the staff accountant for Wake Consulting Group, have uncovered the following costs and activities associated with the two products.

Overhead is allocated using a plant-wide rage based on direct labor hours.

Preliminary analysis of costs by Wake Consulting Group revealed that similar costs can be categorized into the following cost pools. Setup costs are costs that occur each time a new production run is made. They involve retooling and reconfiguring the machines and technology. Material handling costs include the equipment and personnel required to transport materials from supplier trucks to the machines. Typically, materials are taken to a storage area before being transported to machines. Each production run will need new materials and materials may also be transported during production runs. Machine costs primarily include depreciation and machine maintenance. Although the machines are depreciated using accelerated depreciation schedules, typically the machine wear out from use and are replaced before they become obsolete. Receiving costs include the costs of clerical and technical help associated with the processing of each order received from a customer. Engineering costs include the technical support staff that implement design changes in the part, manage processes to maintain quality, and provide technical information on the product. The engineering staff maintain a record of the amount of time spent on each product. General plant costs include all the other administrative costs not included in the other cost pools.

3. Imagine you are at a local water park on a hot summer day and your feet begin to get hot from the cement.Looking ahead, you notice that there are two paths you can take to your favorite waterslide. One path is comprised of sand while the other path consists of water.You opt for the water path because you know it will be cooler on your feet.Assuming that both paths were exposed to the same heatsource (the sun) and that both paths have the same mass, explain why water does not get as hot as sand.
