7.10 Suppose New York wants to build a new facility to replace Madison Square Garden. Assume that the cost of building a new arena in midtown Manhattan is $2 billion and that all the costs occur right away. Also assume that New York will receive annual benefits of $100 million for the next 30 years, after which the new arena becomes worthless. Does it make financial sense to build the new facility if interest rates are 5 percent?

Suppose that 20 risk neutral competitors participate in a rent seeking game with a fixed prize of $500. Each player may invest as much money as he wishes in the political contest. The probability of winning is directly proportional to the candidate's share of the total rent-seeking investment. 1. What is the expected net benefit of a player if all other players invest $20 each? Write the net benefit as a function of the player's investment. 2. Solve the maximization problem to arrive at the profit-maximizing investment. Round to the nearest cent.
Suppose that the University of Alabama and Clemson are making spending decisions for theupcoming year. Assume that Alabama is currently spending $15 million on their recruiting andfacilities, and Clemson is spending $10 million. Each team has an additional $5 million to spendor keep as profits. If they both choose to not spend the additional $5 million then Alabama hasa 60% chance of getting the highest quality quarterback recruit to commit to them (getting thecommitment of the player is the goal). However, if they both choose to spend the additional $5million then there is a 57% chance that Alabama gets the high quality quarterback to commit. IfAlabama spends the additional $5 million but Clemson doesn’t then there is a 67% chanceAlabama gets the recruit. However, if Alabama does NOT spend the additional $5million butClemson does then there is a 50% change either team gets the recruit’s commitment. Setup thepayoff matrix and label the players, their strategies, and their payoffs, and…
Question 48 When looking at utility rather than money, what does the outcome of a fair bet look like? The potential drop in utility is greater than the potential increase in utility. The potential drop in utility is smaller than the potential increase in utility. The potential drop in utility is equal to the potential increase in utility. O There is no expected change in utility. Question 49 Risk spreading explains why most large companies have O low profit rates. O high profit rates. O few shareholders. O many shareholders. Question 50 In a fair bet, the: outcome is known in advance so there is no uncertainty. O expected return is high enough to induce risk-averse people to accept the risk O expected winnings exactly offset the expected losses. expected winnings are greater than the expected losses

The track's take is 15% a) What are the payout odds on Bella to place? b) If you bet $20 on Bella to place, what is your profit if you win? c) What are the payout odds on Bubbly to place? d) What is the $2 payout on Bubbly to place?
Problem: Imagine you have two competing athletes who have the option to use an illegal and dangerous drug to enhance their performance (i.e., dope). If neither athlete dopes, then neither gain an advantage. If only one dopes, then that athlete gains a massive advantage over their competitor, reduced by the medical and legal risks of doping (the athletes believe the advantage over their competitor outweighs the risks from doping ). However, if both athletes dope, the advantages cancel out, and only the risks remain, putting them both in a worse position than if neither had been doping. What outcome do we expect from these two athletes? Please use ideas like concepts of monopolies, Oligopolies and Game Theory and Factor markets for this scenario.
