Answer to Question 1

Revealing one's reservation point is generally not a good strategy unless it is especially good and the bargaining
zone is small. This knowledge allows a negotiator to make offers that barely exceed the counterparty's reservation
point and claim the entire bargaining surplus for himself or herself. Some negotiators reveal their reservation point
to demonstrate that they trust the other party; however, more effective ways exist to build trust. Additionally,
trusting the counterparty with your reservation point does not help to maximize your surplus.

Answer to Question 2

D. small
