Each of two firms has one job opening. Suppose that (for reasons not discussed here but relating to the value of offering each opening) the firms offer different wages: firm i the wage wi , where 1/2w1 < w2 < 2w1. (That is, neither of the wages is more than double the other.) Imagine that there are two workers, each of whom can apply to only one firm. The workers simultaneously decide whether to apply to firm 1 or firm 2. If only one worker applies to a given firm, that worker gets the job; if both workers apply to one firm, the firm hires one worker at random and the other worker is unemployed (which has a payoff of zero).

(1) Suppose the two workers' payoff functions satisfy the Expected utility hypothesis, write out the strategic form (payoff matrix) of this game.
(2) Find the Nash equilibrium in pure strategies.
(3) Find the Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies.

while setting up his new office, an attorney ordered thick, frieze carpets for the floor. however, the building inspector had him remove the expensive carpeting. the building inspector stated that according to federal regulations, the office must be wheelchair accessible as it is a public area. he further explained that since wheelchairs do not maneuver well in thick, frieze carpeting, the carpets had to be removed and be replaced with smooth-textured carpets that do not restrict wheelchair maneuverability. this scenario illustrates how a company is influenced by the component of its specific environment.

The beach dude (bd) employs a legion of current and former surfers as salespeople who push its surfing-oriented products to various customers (usually retail outlets). this case describes bd's sales and collection process. each bd salesperson works with a specific group of customers throughout the year. in fact, they often surf with their customers to try out the latest surf gear. the bd salespeople act laid-back, but they work hard for their sales. each sale often involves hours of surfing with their customers while the customers sample all the latest surf wear. because bd makes the best surfing products, the customers look forward to the visits from the bd salespeople. and they often buy a lot of gear. each sale is identified by a unique invoice number and usually involves many different products. customers pay for each sale in full within 30 days, but they can combine payments for multiple sales. bd manages its clothing inventory by item (e.g., xl bd surfer logo t-shirts), identified by product number, but it also classifies the items by clothing line (the lines are differentiated by price points as well as the intended use of the clothing, e.g., surfing products, casual wear, . draw a uml class diagram that describes the beach dudes sales and collection process.b. using microsoft access, implement a relational database from your uml class diagram. identify at least three fields per table.c. describe how you would use the relational database to determine the beach dude’s accounts receivable.
