Consider the following game of ’divide the dollar.’ There is a dollar to be split between two players. Player 1 can make any offer to player 2 in increments of 25 cents; that is, player 1 can make offers of 0 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents, and $1. An offer is the amount of the original dollar that player 1 would like player 2 to have. After player 2 gets an offer, she has the option of either accepting or rejecting the offer. If she accepts, she gets the offered amount and player 1 keeps the remainder. If she rejects, neither player gets anything. Draw the game tree.Consider the following variant of the ’divide the dollar’ game. Players 1 and 2 move simultaneously; 1 makes an offer to 2 and 2 specifies what would be an acceptable offer. For instance, player 1 might make an offer of 50 cents and player 2 might simultaneously set 25 cents as an acceptable offer. If player 1’s offer is at least as large as what is acceptable to player 2, then we will say that there is an agreement and player 1 will pay player 2 the amount of his offer. Alternatively, if player 1’s offer is smaller than what player 2 specifies as acceptable, there is no agreement, in which case neither player gets anything. Draw the gametree for this game.
