18. The Left Coast Bookstore chain has two stores, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. It stocks three kinds of books: hardcover, softcover, and plastic (for infants). The table shows the number of books in stock at the beginning of January.

  Hard Soft Plastic
San Francisco 1,000 2,000 5,000
Los Angeles 1,000 5,000 2,000

Suppose its sales in January were as follows: 700 hardcover books, 1,300 softcover books, and 2,000 plastic books sold in San Francisco, and 400 hardcover, 300 softcover, and 500 plastic books sold in Los Angeles.

Now suppose that the stores maintained the same sales figures for the first 6 months of the year. Each month the chain restocked the stores from its warehouse by shipping 900 hardcover, 1,600 softcover, and 1,800 plastic books to San Francisco and 700 hardcover, 700 softcover, and 200 plastic books to Los Angeles.

20. The table gives the number of people (in thousands) who visited Australia and South Africa in 1998:

  To Australia To South Africa
From North America 440 190
From Europe 950 950
From Asia 1,790 200

Figures are rounded to the nearest 1,000.

You predict that, in 2008, 20,000 fewer people from North America will visit Australia and 30,000 more will visit South Africa, 80,000 more people from Europe will visit each of Australia and South Africa, and 150,000 more people from Asia will visit South Africa, but there will be no change in the number visiting Australia.

13. Your fast-food outlet, Burger Queen, has obtained a license to open branches in three closely situated South African cities: Brakpan, Nigel, and Springs. Your market surveys show that Brakpan and Nigel each provide a potential market of 2,500 burgers a day, while Springs provides a potential market of 1,000 burgers per day. Your company can only finance an outlet in one of those cities at the present time. Your main competitor, Burger Princess, has also obtained licenses for these cities, and is similarly planning to open only one outlet. If you both happen to locate at the same city, you will share the total business from all three cities equally, but if you locate in different cities, you will each get all the business in the cities in which you have located, plus half the business in the third city. The payoff is the number of burgers you will sell per day minus the number of burgers your competitor will sell per day. Set up the payoff matrix.

14. When you bet on a racehorse with odds of m-n, you stand to win m dollars for every bet of n dollars if your horse wins; for instance, if the horse you bet on is running at 5-2 and wins, you will win $5 for every $2 you bet. (Thus a $2 bet will return $7.). Here are some actual odds from a 1992 race at Belmont Park, NY. The favorite at 5-1 was Pleasant Tap. The second choice was Thunder Rumble at 7-2, while the third choice was Strike the Gold at 4-1. Assume you are making a $30 bet on one of these horses. The payoffs are your winnings. (If your horse does not win, you lose your entire bet. Of course, it is possible for none of your horses to win.) Suppose that just before the race, there has been frantic betting on Thunder Rumble, with the result that the odds have dropped to 2-5. The odds on the other two horses remain unchanged.

16. In the Second World War, during the struggle for New Guinea, intelligence reports revealed that the Japanese were planning to move a troop and supply convoy from the port of Rabaul at the Eastern tip of New Britain to Lae, which lies just west of New Britain on New Guinea. It could either travel via a northern route which was plagued by poor visibility, or by a southern route, where the visibility was clear. General Kenney, who was the commander of the Allied Air Forces in the area, had the choice of concentrating reconnaissance aircraft on one route or the other, and bombing the Japanese convoy once it was sighted. Suppose that General Kenney had a third alternative: Splitting his reconnaissance aircraft between the two routes Kenney’s staff drafted the following outcomes for his choices, where the payoffs are estimated days of bombing time:

  Japanese Commander’s Strategies
Kenney’s
Strategies
  NorthernRoute SouthernRoute
Northern Route 2 2.5
Split Reconnaissance 0.5 3
Southern Route 1 3.5

What would you have recommended to General Kenney? What would you have recommended to the Japanese Commander? How much bombing time results if these recommendations are followed?

  a. General Kenney should use Split Reconnaissance and the Japanese Commander should use southern route; 3 days
  b. General Kenney should use northern route and the Japanese Commander should use southern route; 2.5 days
  c. Both commanders should use the northern route; 2 days

17. Florida and Ohio are “swing states” that have a large bounty of electoral votes and are therefore highly valued by presidential campaign strategists. Suppose it is now the weekend before Election Day 2004, and each candidate (Bush and Kerry) can visit only one more state. Further, to win the election, Bush needs to win both of these states. Currently Bush has a 70% chance of winning Ohio and a 30% chance of winning Florida. Therefore, he has a 0.70×0.30 = 0.21, or 21% chance of winning the election. Assume that each candidate can increase his probability of winning a state by 20% if he, and not his opponent, visits that state. If both candidates visit the same state, there is no effect. Set up a payoff matrix with Bush as the row player and Kerry as the column player, where the payoff for a specific set of circumstances is the probability (expressed as a percentage) that Bush will win both states.

19. A manufacturer of electrical machinery is located in a cramped, though low-rent, factory close to the center of a large city. The firm needs to expand, and it could do so in one of three ways: (1) remain where it is and install new equipment, (2) move to a suburban site in the same city, or (3) relocate in a different part of the country where labor is cheaper. Its decision will be influenced by the fact that one of the following will happen: (I) the government may introduce a program of equipment grants, (II) a new suburban highway may be built, or (III) the government may institute a policy of financial help to companies who move into regions of high unemployment. The value to the company of each combination is given in the following payoff matrix.

I II III
1 200 150 140
2 130 220 130
3 110 110 220

28. You are deciding whether to invade Japan, Sweden or Canada, and your opponent is simultaneously deciding which of these three countries to defend. If you invade a country that your opponent is defending, you will be defeated (payoff: -2), but if you invade a country your opponent is not defending, you will be successful (payoff: +2). Set up the payoff matrix with you as the row player and your opponent as the column player.

29. Your fast-food outlet, Burger Queen, has obtained a license to open branches in three closely situated South African cities: Brakpan, Nigel, and Springs. Your market surveys show that Brakpan and Nigel each provide a potential market of 2,500 burgers a day, while Springs provides a potential market of 1,000 burgers per day. Your company can only finance an outlet in one of those cities at the present time. Your main competitor, Burger Princess, has also obtained licenses for these cities, and is similarly planning to open only one outlet. If you both happen to locate at the same city, you will share the total business from all three cities equally, but if you locate in different cities, you will each get all the business in the cities in which you have located, plus half the business in the third city. The payoff is the number of burgers you will sell per day minus the number of burgers your competitor will sell per day. Set up the payoff matrix with you as the row player and your opponent as the column player.

Let the first column correspond to Brakpan, the second one to Nigel, the third one to Springs and the first row correspond to the Brakpan, the second one to the Nigel, the third one to Springs.

30. When you bet on a racehorse with odds of m-n, you stand to win m dollars for every bet of n dollars if your horse wins; for instance, if the horse you bet is running at 5-2 and wins, you will win $5 for every $2 you bet. (Thus a $2 bet will return $7.). Here are some actual odds from a 1992 race at Belmont Park, NY. The favorite at 4-1 was Pleasant Tap. The second choice was Thunder Rumble at 7-2, while the third choice was Strike the Gold at 7-2. Assume you are making a $20 bet on one of these horses. The payoffs are your winnings. (If your horse does not win, you lose your entire bet. Of course, it is possible for none of your horses to win.) Suppose that just before the race, there has been frantic betting on Thunder Rumble, with the result that the odds have dropped to 1-5. The odds on the other two horses remain unchanged. Set up the payoff matrix with your bet as the row player and winner as the column player.

Let the first column correspond to Pleasant Tap, the second one to Thunder Rumble, the third one to Strike the Gold and the first row correspond to Pleasant Tap, the second one to Thunder Rumble, the third one to Strike the Gold .

31. In the Second World War, during the struggle for New Guinea, intelligence reports revealed that the Japanese were planning to move a troop and supply convoy from the port of Rabaul at the Eastern tip of New Britain to Lae, which lies just west of New Britain on New Guinea. It could either travel via a northern route which was plagued by poor visibility, or by a southern route, where the visibility was clear. General Kenney, who was the commander of the Allied Air Forces in the area, had the choice of concentrating reconnaissance aircraft on one route or the other, and bombing the Japanese convoy once it was sighted. Suppose that General Kenney had a third alternative: Splitting his reconnaissance aircraft between the two routes Kenney’s staff drafted the following outcomes for his choices, where the payoffs are estimated days of bombing time:

  Japanese  Commander’s Strategies
Kenney’s
Strategies
  NorthernRoute SouthernRoute
Northern Route 2 2.5
Split Reconnaissance 0.5 2
Southern Route 1 4

33. A manufacturer of electrical machinery is located in a cramped, though low-rent, factory close to the center of a large city. The firm needs to expand, and it could do so in one of three ways: (1) remain where it is and install new equipment, (2) move to a suburban site in the same city, or (3) relocate in a different part of the country where labor is cheaper. Its decision will be influenced by the fact that one of the following will happen: (I) the government may introduce a program of equipment grants, (II) a new suburban highway may be built, or (III) the government may institute a policy of financial help to companies who move into regions of high unemployment. The value to the company of each combination is given in the following payoff matrix.

I II III
1 170 120 130
2 130 220 140
3 130 120 220

If the manufacturer judges that there is a 10% probability that the government will go with option I, a 10% probability that they will go with option II, and a 80% probability that they will go with option III, what is the manufacturer’s best option?

35. Two student groups at Enormous State University, the Choral Society and the Football Club, maintain files of term papers that they write and offer to students for research purposes. Some of these papers they use themselves in generating more papers. To avoid suspicion of plagiarism by faculty members (who seem to have astute memories), each paper is given to students or used by the clubs only once (no copies are kept). The number of papers that were used in the production of new papers last year is shown in the input-output table below.

To  Choral Society  Football Club 
From Choral Society  40 10
Football Club  10 15
