Market Operation Through Individual Bargaining
Excess Demand for London 2012 Olympic Tickets
In a market for football tickets, there are six potential buyers with maximum willingness-to-pay values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. There are also six current ticket-holders with minimum willingness-to-accept values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. If all transactions in this market occur at a single, market-clearing price, what are the total gains from all trades that will take place?
Calculating Surplus at a Fixed Price
Consider a market for football tickets where six potential buyers have individual willingness-to-pay values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. Six current ticket-holders have individual willingness-to-accept values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. If a regulation imposes a maximum price of $4 per ticket, what will be the outcome in this market?
In a market for football tickets, there are six potential buyers with willingness-to-pay values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. Six current ticket-holders have willingness-to-accept values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. Match each potential market price with the corresponding state of the market.
Analyzing a Shift in Market Supply
Consider a market for football tickets with six potential buyers having willingness-to-pay (WTP) values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. Six current ticket-holders have willingness-to-accept (WTA) values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. All trades occur at a single market price. Evaluate the following statement: 'Any single price set strictly between $4 and $6 (for example, $4.50 or $5.50) will result in the maximum possible number of mutually beneficial trades.'
Consider a market for football tickets with six potential buyers having willingness-to-pay (WTP) values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3, and six current ticket-holders with willingness-to-accept (WTA) values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. If the government imposes a $2 per-ticket tax on the sellers, what will be the new number of tickets traded and the new market price?

Negotiating a Bicycle Sale
A seller is willing to sell a used bicycle for no less than $150. A potential buyer is willing to pay a maximum of $200 for the bicycle. Assuming they engage in direct negotiation, which of the following statements accurately describes the potential outcome?
Calculating Surplus in a Bargain
True or False: In a direct negotiation for a single item, if a buyer's maximum willingness to pay is $50 and the seller's minimum acceptable price is $30, the only price that benefits both parties is the exact midpoint of $40.
Evaluating the Individual Bargaining Model
In the context of a negotiation between a single buyer and a single seller for one item, match each term to its correct description.
Consider a negotiation for a single used car. The seller's minimum acceptable price is $4,000. The buyer's maximum willingness to pay is $5,000. They agree on a final price of $4,800. Which statement accurately analyzes the outcome of this bargain?
Analyzing Shifts in Bargaining Power
A student is selling a used graphic calculator and will not accept less than $40. A potential buyer is willing to pay up to $90 for it. After some negotiation, they agree on a price. Which of the following final prices represents the most favorable outcome for the buyer that is still acceptable to the seller?
Consider a market for a unique, identical good where five potential buyers and five potential sellers must find a partner to bargain with individually. The table below lists each person's reservation price (the maximum a buyer will pay, or the minimum a seller will accept). What is the maximum number of mutually beneficial trades that can occur in this market?
Buyers Max Price Sellers Min Price Buyer A $50 Seller V $25 Buyer B $45 Seller W $32 Buyer C $38 Seller X $39 Buyer D $30 Seller Y $46 Buyer E $22 Seller Z $55
