Bargaining Power in a Single-Offer Negotiation
In a one-time negotiation, Person A is given $100 and must propose a way to split it with Person B. Person B can only accept or reject the proposal. If Person B rejects it, both individuals receive nothing. Person A proposes to keep $99 and give $1 to Person B. From a strategic standpoint, what is the primary reason Person B might reject this offer?

Two individuals, a Proposer and a Responder, must divide $100 in a one-time interaction. The Proposer makes a single, final offer on how to split the money. If the Responder accepts, the money is divided as proposed. If the Responder rejects the offer, neither individual receives any money. To maximize their own gain while ensuring the offer is accepted, which of the following proposals is the most strategically sound for the Proposer to make?
