You have to decide whether to invest $100 in a friend's enterprise, where in a year's time the money will increase to $130. You have agreed that your friend will then repay you $120, keeping $10 for himself But instead he may choose to run away with the whole $130. Any of your money that you don't invest in the enterprise you can invest elsewhere safely at the prevailing rate of interest r and get $100 (1+r) next year. For interest rate r> __A___% there is an equilibrium outcome of the infinitely repeated game in which each period you invest with your friend and he repays as agreed. If the rate of interst is 10% per year, an alternative profit-splitting agreement giving $__B___ for the friend is an equilibrium outcome of the infinitely repeated game, where each period you invest with your friend and he repays as agreed. Answer A= ? Answer B= ?
