Mastery Quiz 3 1. Question 1 Preamble: The questions on this quiz are meant to test whether you have watched all the material and understand the concepts presented in Module 3. If you are reading this, I hope that means you’ve had a chance to look over the questions in advance (provided in the Preview of Mastery Quiz 3) and so you know what to expect. Q1. The best possible outcome for the buyer in the Zincit case is Package E. That's right. The best outcome for the buyer in Zincit is to pick something other than A through E. 2. Question 2 When you are unsure if you have the authority to accept an innovative solution, the best course of action is to... 3. Question 3 In the Zincit negotiation, who should suggest the lawyer’s fee be renegotiated, since it is to his or her benefit? 0 / 1 point It is indeed good for Hasan. He can negotiate for a higher bonus and lower upfront without reducing his lawyer's fee. What then about the lawyer? What about the buyer? 4. Question 4 Consider a Zincit negotiation in which the Zincit representative proposes a new alternative to the five packages: A, B, C, D, and E. If the new option offers Hasan’s lawyer Sam a lower commission, Sam should advise Hasan to stick to the five options on the table. 5. Question 5 Consider a Zincit negotiation in which the Hasan proposes a new alternative to the five packages: A, B, C, D, and E. If Hasan's new option involves splitting the pie evenly, the Zincit rep should insist on sticking to the initial five options because they all lead to Zincit getting more than half of the pie. What should matter is how much one gets, not the share of the pie. It is better to get half of a $200 pie then two-thirds of a $100 pie. Thus Zincit should be open to proposals where it gets half the pie provided the pie has expanded sufficiently so that half of the new pie is better than A through E. 6. Question 6 How do you fight fire? 1 / 1 point 7. Question 7 In one of the negotiation reenactment videos, Hasan makes an ultimatum to Zincit: Package A or B or no deal. Hasan then leaves the room. What is Zincit’s best response? 1 / 1 point No deal. We don’t like to be given ultimatums. B, as B is better for us than A. A, as A will hurt you more than it hurts us. What would you say to a deal that made you $1 million better off than A? 8. Question 8 You are negotiating a division of two assets, say a bowl of beets and a bowl of broccoli. You like broccoli more than beets, but both are good. The other side likes beets but dislikes broccoli. These preferences are known to all parties. What is your best course of action? While this will get you all the broccoli, can you get some of the beets too? 9. Question 9 If you are negotiating a division of two assets, say beets and broccoli, and the other side asks whether you prefer beets to broccoli or broccoli to beets, you should... 1 / 1 point 10. Question 10 In the Zincit case, which of these approaches maximizes Hasan’s payoff? 1 / 1 point Hasan and Zincit split the bonus 50:50, so they each make an extra $50 million in the event that the FDA approves the drug. Hasan gets all (or nearly all) the bonus, in the event the FDA approves the drug, in return for a lower upfront payment. For example, Hasan would get a $90 million bonus, but only $15 million upfront. Hasan should not accept anything less than $20 million upfront (since that is what Zums offered him); thus he should maximize his bonus subject to not accepting less than $20 million upfront. 11. Question 11 Anya and Boris are planning to take a 7-day trip together. Anya would like to spend most of her time playing golf, with a little time at the beach. Boris doesn't really like golf, so he would like to spend as much time as possible at the beach. The following four options are the only ones available to the two of them. Anya Boris 1. All 7 Days playing Golf 10 0 2. 5 Days playing Golf / 2 at the Beach 12 3 3. 3 Days playing Golf / 4 at the Beach 9 6 4. All 7 days at the Beach 6 7 All the payoffs above are known to both parties. Anya knows that Boris does not like Option 1, so she proposes taking Option 1 off the table if Boris will agree to reciprocate. What should Boris do? 0 / 1 point Agree to take Option 1 off the table if Anya will take Option 3 off the table. Agree to take Option 1 off the table if Anya will take Option 4 off the table. Agree to take Option 1 off the table if Anya will take Options 3 and 4 off the table. Turn down Anya’s offer and take nothing off the table.
