Jane is interested in buying a car from a used car dealer. Her maximum willingness to pay for the car is $20 (thousand). Bo, the dealer, is willing to sell the car as long as he receives at least $8 (thousand), Thus there is a potential surplus or gain from trade of $12 (thousand). Jane and the dealer bargain over the transaction price, p. If they cannot agree on a price, then the transaction does not occur, and neither party receives any surplus. If instead, Bo can only get $5 (thousand) elsewhere, then the price that maximizes the Nash product changes by $ - 1.5 thousand. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place and include a minus sign if necessary.) This change in price is in Jane's favor.

You must allocate the 70,000 seats in Reliant Stadium (in Houston) among Texan (Houston) and Cowboy (Dallas) fans for an upcoming game between the two footfall teams. You can set different prices for seats in the Dallas and Houston sections of the stadium. Suppose you can obtain $40/ticket from Houston fans irrespective of the number of seats you allocate to Houston fans. You must drop price in order to sell more tickets to Dallas fans, however. Let Q be the number of tickets you allocate to Dallas fans. Assume that the maximum price you can charge for these tickets is given by the following inverse demand function P= 80 500 (a) Express the total revenue (on all 70,000 seats) from ticket sales as a function of Q; (b) Derive the first-order condition of the revenue-maximizing problem (it's a function about Q); (c) What is the optimal number of seats allocated to Dallas fans?
