Type in M for Moral hazard, A for Asymmetric information, C for Competitive market, L for Lemons Model, P for Principal agent issue.

I've got an old pedal boat I could sell you for a quarter of the price," he offered.Later that day, Rachel and Arnel went to the man's house to check out the pedal boat. It had a lot of dents, and the man admitted that he hadn't taken it out on the water in three years. But the price was too good to beat."The boat would be sold in the condition it's in," the man warned. "All sales final."But Rachel and Arnel were already talking about the fishing gear they could buy with the money they would be saving.
