Consider the "market for lemons" developed by Nobel laureate, George Akerlof. Assume price, P=25 and assume that quality is represented by x and that quality is uniformly distributed between O and 60. Assume seller's utility is given as Us = x; + M where M is "other goods" and price per unit M is $1. Buyer's utility is given as UB = x; + M. 5 Continue to consider the market for lemons in the prior question. In the space below, write down the buyer's expected utility at the price given.
