A seller would like to sell a painting using second price (Vickrey) auction. The seller knows that there are three buyers and each buyer is equally likely to have High (H), Medium (M), or Low (L) valuation for the painting. The valuations of the buyers are independently distributed. Assuming that the buyers will play the Nash equilibrium in the second price auction, how much revenue will the seller make?

Redo Exercise 5, assuming that the house blend contains 300 grams of Colombian beans, 50 grams of Kenyan beans, and 150 grams of French roast beans and the gourmet blend contains 100 grams of Colombian beans, 350 grams of Kenyan beans, and 50 grams of French roast beans. This time the merchant has on hand 30 kilograms of Colombian beans, 15 kilograms of Kenyan beans, and 15 kilograms of French roast beans. Suppose one bag of the house blend produces a profit of $0.50, one bag of the special blend produces a profit of $1.50, and one bag of the gourmet blend produces a profit of $2.00. How many bags of each type should the merchant prepare if he wants to use up all of the beans and maximize his profit? What is the maximum profit?
You are analyzing stocks of three companies you are interested in investing in. Suppose that these three stocks are Apple stock (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA). At the end of this month, each month may move up (increase in value), move down (decrease in value) or stay the same. In this case, an experiment consists of observing the price condition across the three stocks. Each of the three conditions (move up, move down, stay same) are equally likely. How many outcomes are in the sample space? List 7 of the outcomes. (use U for move up, D for moving down and S for staying the same) Let A be the event that all the stocks have the same performance. List the outcomes in A. Let B be the event that all of stocks are different. List the outcomes in B. Let C be the event that at least two stocks move up. Are events A and C mutually exclusive? Are events B and C mutually exclusive? What is the probability of ? What is the probability of ? What is the probability of ? What is the…

A company makes parts that cost $35.00 in material and labor. 92% of the parts are produced defect free and are sold for full price at $110 each. 2% of the parts made must be scrapped. Scrap parts are sold for $8.00 each. The remaining 6% of the parts made must be reworked at a cost of $12.00 each. After rework 1% still must be scrapped and the other 5% is sold at a discounted price of $90 each. a. Draw the tree diagram showing the quality cost situation. b. Determine the earnings per part. c. Determine the cost of poor quality (COPQ). d. Determine the earnings per part and COPQ if the rework operation was shut down and the parts that required reworking were just sold for scrap instead. Answers- B-70.22 c-4.78 d-66.84, 8.16

Provide intuition for the asset pricing equation: P Et (M+1 Xt+1) where M is the stochastic discount factor and X is tomorrow's return on the asset. Calculus is not required but you should provide graphical intuition.
A food grocery purchases mooncakes for seasonal selling. The agent pays $25-per box to the mooncake brand owner for purchasing the mooncakes and sells it to the market at $75 per box. Any unsold stock can be returned to the mooncake brand owner for $10 per box. The mooncake brand owner can reuse the materials for making dim-sum. The food grocery makes the buying decision based on the following observations: Demand 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 Probability 0.04 0.06 0.16 0.18 0.2 0.1 0.1 0.08 0.04 0.04 What is the optimal order quantity and the expected profit for the food grocery?
An auctioneer of antique Iranian rugs kept records of his weekly auctions in order to determine the relationships among price, age of carpet or rug, number of people attending the auction, and the number of times the winning bidder had previously attended his auctions. He felt that, with this information, he could plan his auctions better, serve his steady customers better, and make a higher overall profit for himself.
