Suppose That Management and Labor Are Bargaining Over How Much

Multiple Choice

Suppose that management and labor are bargaining over how much of a surplus to give to workers. The $100 can be divided into $25 increments. The sides simultaneously write the amount that they want on a piece of paper. If the sum of the amounts does not exceed $100 then the both sides get the amount that they asked for. If the sum of the amounts exceeds $100 then the bargaining ends in a stalemate. Assume that failure to come to an agreement costs both union and management $1. How many Nash equilibria does this game have?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
