Answer to Question 1

A responder in an ultimatum game rejects an offer made by the proposer if he prefers fairness to money. However, as the opportunity cost of exercising fairness increases, the responder is less likely to exercise fairness. Therefore, a responder who rejects an offer of 10 of 1 is less likely to reject an offer of 10 of 100.
