Free rider problems are everywhere. For example, some restaurants let each food server keep his or her own tips. Other restauran

ts require all of the food servers to put their tips into a tip pool, which then gets divided up equally among all of the servers. Let’s think about how the tip pool changes the server’s incentive to be nice to the customer.
a. Let’s assume that a server can be "nice" and earn $100 in tips per shift, or be "mean" and earn $40 in tips per shift. If an individual server goes from being mean to being nice, how much more will he or she earn in a non-tip-pooling world?

Gains from being "nice": $ -----------------------

b. Now let’s look at incentives in a tip pool. If all the servers are mean, how much will the average server earn? If all the servers are nice, how much will the average server earn?

Average mean server earnings:$ ----------------

Average nice server earnings: $ ----------------

What’s the change in tips per server if all of them switch from being mean to being nice?

Change in tips per server: $ --------------

c. But in the real world, of course, each server makes his or her own decision to be mean or nice. Suppose that you are on a shift with 9 other servers, and some servers are being nice and others are being mean. You’re trying to decide whether to be nice or mean. What’s the payoff to you if you switch your behavior from mean to nice?

Individual payout of becoming nice: $ ---------------

d. So when are you most likely to be nice: When you’re in a tip pool or when you keep your own tips?

1-You are more likely to be nice when you keep your own tips.

2-You are equally likely to be nice in either tip arrangement.

3-You are more likely to be nice in a tip pool.

If the restaurant cares a lot about keeping its customers happy, which policy will it follow?

1-The restaurant will use a tip pool.

2-The restaurant will let servers keep their own tips.

3-The restaurant is indifferent between the two tip arrangements because it generates the same likelihood of servers being friendly.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

a. Gains from being nice = $60

reason: outcome for being nice = $100; outcome for being mean = $40 So the gains from being nice = 100 - 40 = 60

b. Average mean server earnings = $40 (given)

Average nice server earnings = $ 100 (given)

  Change in tips per server if all of the servers switch from being mean to being nice = $60 (100 - 40)

c. Individual payoff of my becoming nice = $6

reason: Total number of servers = 10

Change to the tip pool with my change in behavior from mean to nice = $60

My share in this change = 60/ 10 =6

d.  1-I am more likely to be nice when I keep my own tips.

reason: I can keep $100 if I am nice. But in a tip pool, some of the others may be mean. This will bring the pool amount lower, thereby my share may be less than $100. So I prefer to keep my own tips.

Isabel and Josh engage in a business transaction that leads to a dispute. Isabel initiates a lawsuit against Josh by filing a co
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

(b.) Isabel will have a judgment entered in her favor

Explanation:

Under the Rules of the court Josh's action is referred to as Default of Appearance.  Isabel is the Complainant while Josh is the Defendant.

It is the law that where a Defendant fails to appear before the court where there is a proof of service of the summons on him or her, Complainant may apply to the Judge for a judgement in respect of the claim on the summons to be entered in his or her favor against the Defendant.

Therefore, in the instance case at hand, Isabel will have a judgment entered in her favor for failure of Josh to appear before the court.

Option (a) is not the answer because Isabel does not need to file an amended complaint because Isabel did not ask the court for any amendment of her complaint. Isabel can only file an amended complaint if she intends to change her complaint against Josh.

Option (c) is not also the answer because Josh chooses to ignore the summons served on him. If for instance Josh did not get the summons served on him or the judge is of the opinion that Josh was not properly served, then the court can order that Josh must be served with a second summons.

Option (d) is also not the answer because Josh cannot have a judgment entered in his favor because he is the person who defaulted appearance before the court. A party who is in default of appearance cannot have judgment entered in his favor.
