While working in the yard, Tina found a beat-up ring. Becca, an eighteen-year old neighbor, came over to visit and liked the ring. Tina said, "You can have this old thing if you would like." Becca replied, "I really like it - Maybe it's a real diamond!" Tina laughingly told her that there was a one in a billion chance of that and that Tina was more likely to win the lottery. A few months later Becca ran over to Tina's house and told Tina that the ring was actually a diamond worth thousands of dollars! Becca gave Tina the ring to examine. Tina put it in her pocket and told Becca that she would never have given it to her if she had realized its value and that possession was back where it had always belonged. Tina also told Becca that Becca failed to legally accept the gift because she did not know its true value and also because Tina did not sign any document turning over title. Becca sues. Which of the following describes the type of gift at issue?

a. A gift causa mortis
b. A gift inter vivos
c. A gift inter mortis
d. A gift causa vivos
e. A donative gift

For example, the upper right cell shows that if expresso advertises and beantown doesn't advertise, expresso will make a profit of $15 million, and beantown will make a profit of $2 million. assume this is a simultaneous game and that expresso and beantown are both profit-maximizing firms. if expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if beantown advertises and a profit of $ million if beantown does not advertise. if expresso decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if beantown advertises and a profit of $ million if beantown does not advertise. if beantown advertises, expresso makes a higher profit if it chooses . if beantown doesn't advertise, expresso makes a higher profit if it chooses . suppose that both firms start off not advertising. if the firms act independently, what strategies will they end up choosing? expresso will choose to advertise and beantown will choose not to advertise. expresso will choose not to advertise and beantown will choose to advertise. both firms will choose to advertise. both firms will choose not to advertise.
