Q1 StatementAn online clothing sales company is looking to set up a customer service in-housecustomer. Because this is the company's only marketing channel, it takes that those who receivetelephone or chat inquiries recreate the shopping experience in a store physical. This is complexgiven the lack of personal interaction between the customer and the seller. Without However, theowner of the company considered that a competent person who knows how to 'connect' withcustomers, has the potential to generate twice the sales of the average store clerk. TheThe challenge is that this quality is not observable at first glance. Faced with this difficulty, theowner of the company contacted him given his experience in people management. You, showing offwhat you learned in the course, carry out a detailed study of the conditions of the labor market andthe competitive environment of the company. The analysis yields two results main. First, you haveidentified that an average apparel salesperson earns an annual salary of $ 15M., However, not allsalespeople have the skills soft to connect with customers. Those that fail to connect would producea volume of online sales that would leave earnings of $ 10M per year to the company that youadvise. Secondly, a salesperson who does have the ability to create a connection with the customercould generate profits of $ 40M annually for the company that you advise. Second, his detailedanalysis of the psychology of virtual sales allowed him to identify that the ability to connect withthe client is correlated to the degree of histrionics and extroversion of the seller, as well as hiscommunication skills. These characteristics are not manifest with the naked eye, moreover, aworker would have to spend a whole year in the firm so that it is certain whether it possesses themor not. Because of this, he came up with two alternatives to identify to people with these skills. Oneof them is to require a validity personality test international. Histrionic, outgoing people, and withgood communication skillsi This can be interpreted 23 a market wage.They would pass without the need to study. However, this type of test is not infallible since aA person without these skills could study 6 months and still pass it. The other altemative is that,to be considered, the applicant has a qualification Formal in theatrical performance. In Chile,training in acting can be obtained in schools of Acting or in universities. The time it takes toobtain a formal qualification (title) in an Acting school depends on the talent and personality ofthe student. The histrionic people, Extroverts, and with good communication skills generallyobtain the title in 1 year, While those that do not present these characteristics require 3 years onaverage. By On the other hand, theatrical education at the university level takes 3 yearsregardless of talent or the student's personality. It should be noted that in the third year of study,the universities grant a certificate totally equivalent to the one awarded by acting schools.Another difference between acting schools and universities is the employment opportunitiesassociated with you add to each one. An actor or actress with an acting school degree may workin plays small theater, with an average annual salary of $ 18M. An actor or actress with acollege degree, instead, you can work on top-tier plays, with an average salary of $ 50MWith all this information you must detemine if a signaling mechanism is necessary and,If so, which is the most convenient for the signature. To do this, denote as seller type 0 thosewho they do not have the competencies valued by the firm, and type 1 salesperson to those whodo. Remember that these competencies are not observable. Questions1) Suppose that only 25% of potential applicants are type 1. Is it necessary to?Implement a signaling mechanism? Fundamentally numerically.2) Calculate the opportunity cost of each certification alternative (personality, schoolperformance title, and university performance title), for each typeSeller. Hint: remember the concept of opportunity cost. It could be found in theNeed to compare two alternatives for a certificate level and vendor type.3) Write in algebraic terms the incentive compatibility constraints andOf participation. Denote co (y) the cost of a type 0 salesperson and ci (y) the cost of aType 1 vendor, where y represents in generic form the different alternatives – i.e. y =1test, acting school, university. Also, consider that the salary paid by theFirm that you advise your sellers is w. What finally happens to the restrictions ofParticipation and incentive compatibility? Fundamentally.4) Identify the optimal certification that would allow a separate balance to be implementedRador; that is, only type 1 people apply for the position of salesperson in the firm. For this,Suppose the firm is willing to pay $ 35M to a Type 1 candidate if it can identifyCarlo from the mechanism that you propose. Basically with the numerical results ofThe relevant incentive and participation compatibility restrictions.5) What would be the minimum wage that the company could offer a type 1 seller kuch?That the separating equilibrium obtained in the previous question is maintained?6) Suppose that the trade employees union negotiated with the employer a salary$ 25M annual minimum for store clerks. Can you implement a balance separator in this newsituation? Fundamentally with numerical results of the constraintsCompatibility of relevant incentives and participation.

Yes, it is necessary to implement a signaling mechanism in this case. The reason is that the company…

Due to the pandemic, the Malaysian government had announced total lockdown known as MCO in the country whereby everyone is required to (c) work from home until further notice. Lesser movements are allowed on the roads and the security is tight on this matter. Due to this scenario, there is a sudden increment of the birth rate in a small town in Seremban. It is almost double from previously. After 4 years, the birth rate is expected to normalize. Use demand and supply diagram to illustrate the effect of these events linking with the following statements. (i) The market for an hour of babysitting services in Seremban during the rise of birth rate. (ii) The market for an hour of babysitting services 20 years in the future, after the birth rate has been normalized. Assuming the children born today are old enough to work as babysitters. The market for an hour of babysitting services 30 years into the future, when children born today are likely to be having children of their own. (iii)

When Apple introduced its first portable media player, the iPod, its constant marginal cost of producing the top-of-the-line model was $200 (iSuppli), its fixed cost was approximately $736 million, and we estimate that its inverse demand function was p= 600 - 25Q, where Q is units measured in millions. What was Apple's average cost function? Assuming that Apple was maximizing its short-run monopoly profit, what was its marginal revenue function? What were its profit-maximizing price and quantity, profit, and Lerner Index? What was the elasticity of demand at the profit-maximizing level? Show Apple's profit-maximizing solution in a figure.

In a given community, the unemployment rate is 3.1% and their working-age population is 1.2 Million. Labor force participation was 92% in this community in December of 2009. In January 2010, this community takes in 80,000 refugees, 65,000 of which are working-age adults. All working-age refugees will be looking for a job in January and if they cannot find one will continue to look until they do. If 70% of the refugees start a new job in January, what will be the Unemployment rate in this community in February 1st?
