A game theorist is walking down the street in his neighborhood and finds $20. Just as he picks it up, two neighborhood kids, Mark and Nancy, run up to him, asking if they can have it. Because game theorists are generous in nature, he says he's willing to let them have the $20, but only according to the following procedure: Mark and Nancy are each to (independently) submit a written request as to their share of the $20. Let m denote the amount that Mark requests for himself and n be the amount that Nancy requests for herself. m and n are required to be chosen from the interval [0, 20]. If m+n =< 20, then the two receive what they requested, and the remainder (20 - m - n) is split equally between them. If, however, m+n> 20 the game theorist keeps the $20. Mark and Nancy are the players in this simultaneous-move game. Assume that each of them has a payoff equal to the amount of money that he or she receives. Required:
Find all Nash equilibria for this game.

Peninsula products has just applied for a loan at your bank. when reviewing peninsula's books for the year that just ended, you notice that the firm uses the fair value option for its bonds payable. you also see that the firm recorded a $55,000 debit in its bonds payable account and a $55,000 credit in its unrealized holding gain or loss"income account. over that same period, interest rates decreased by about 0.5 percent. how should this information affect the bank's decision as to whether to grant peninsula a loan? a : the bank should strongly consider giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen an increase in its credit rating over the past year. b : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely the result of the rise in interest rates. c : the bank should hesitate before giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen a decline in its credit rating over the past year. d : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely unrelated to either interest rates or the firm's credit rating.
