In this game there are 2 players, the Proposer and the Acceptor, to be chosen by the flip of a coin. II. The experimenter produces 10 $1 bills, and explains the rules of the game. P will be given the $10, but must then split the money in some way with A.III. If A accepts the proposed split, P and A keep their shares of the split.IV. If A rejects the split, the experimenter takes back the money and both players leave empty-handed.V. If the last number of your social security number is odd, imagine that you are the Proposer. What split would you propose? Please write the split down.VI. If the last number of your social security number is even or 0, imagine that you are the Acceptor. Write down the lowest share of the $10 you would accept; that is, you would reject any lesser amount.VII. ResultsVIII. Economists’
