Five lifeguard towers are lined up along a beach; the leftmost tower is number 1 and the rightmost tower is number 5. Two vendors, players 1 and 2, each have a popsicle stand that can be located next to one of five towers. There are 25 people located next to each tower, and each person will purchase a popsicle from the stand that is closest to him or her. That is, if player 1 locates his stand at tower 2 and player 2 at tower 3, then 50 people (at towers 1 and 2) will purchase from player 1, while 75 (from towers 3, 4, and 5) will purchase from vendor 2. Each purchase yields a profit of $1. Required:
a. Specify the strategy set for each player. Are there any strictly domi nated strategies?
b. Find the set of strategies that survive rationalizability.

Alandowner entered into a written agreement with a real estate broker whereby the broker would receive a commission of 10% of the sale price if he procured a "ready, willing, and able buyer" for the landowner's property and if the sale actually proceeded through closing. the broker found a buyer who agreed in writing to buy the property from the landowner for $100,000, the landowner's asking price. the buyer put up $6,000 as a down payment. the agreement between the landowner and the buyer contained a liquidated damages clause providing that, if the buyer defaulted by failing to tender the balance due of $94,000 at the closing date, damages would be 10% of the purchase price. the landowner included that clause because she was counting on using the proceeds of the sale for a business venture that would likely net her at least $10,000. the buyer became seriously ill and defaulted. when he recovered, he demanded that the landowner return his $6,000, and the landowner refused. the broker also demanded the $6,000 from the landowner and was refused. the broker and the buyer filed separate suits against the landowner, with the buyer pleading impossibility of performance. the two cases are consolidated into a single case. how should the court rule as to the disposition of the $6,000?
