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.

Consider a single period problem where the riskless interest rate is zero, and there are no taxes. A firm consists of a machine
kifflom [539]

Assuming the firm has 100 shares outstanding and debt with a face value of $50 due at the end of the period. The share price of the firm is $0.95.

<h3>Share price</h3>

First step is to calculate the expected payoff to equity

Expected equity=[($80 ×0.5) + ($210 × 0.5)]-$50

Expected equity=($40+$105)-$50

Expected equity = $145-$50

Expected equity=$95

Now let calculate the share price

Share price=$96/100 shares

Share price=$0.95

Inconclusion the share price of the firm is $0.95.

Cloud [144]

The natural level of output is the amount of real GDP produced b. when the economy is at the natural rate of unemployment.

Real GDP is essentially a measure of a country's total economic output, adjusted for changes in prices. The value of real GDP reflects a country's economic statistics at a macro level.

When real GDP produces natural output, that is, the output level is in line with the equilibrium of the labour market when the real price level is equal to the expected price level. Then the economy makes the most of its productivity, including fully utilized labour, which means that the economy is at the natural rate of unemployment.
