2. A landlord is about to write a rental contract for a tenant which lasts T months. The landlord first decides the length T > 0 (need not be an integer) of the contract, the tenant then signs it and pays an initial handling fee of £100 before moving in. The landlord collects the total amount of rent erT at the end of the contract at a continuously compounded rate r> 0, but the contract stipulates that the tenant may leave before T, in which case the landlord only collects the total rent up until the tenant's departure time 7. Assume that 7 is exponentially distributed with rate > 0, λ‡r. (i) Calculate the expected total payment EW the landlord will receive in terms of T. (ii) Assume that the landlord has logarithmic utility U(w) = log(w - 100) and decides that the rental rate r should depend on the contract length T by r(T) = λ √T 1 For each given λ, what T (as a function of X) should the landlord choose so as to maximise their expected utility? Justify your answer. Hint. It might be helpful to express the expected utility in terms of p = XT.

O JDM I FOREVER recidivism Christian's monthly payments for his new trailer are $405 per month. He estimates that maintenance and insurance costs him $0.45 per mile. Hence, the cost equation monthly will be C(m) = 0.45m + 405 , for C monthly cost in dollars and m the number of miles driven that month. What is Christian's monthly cost if he drives 1430 miles in a month? O $1048.50 O $1835.45 O $2277.78 $1612.25 O $1025.00 SHARE
Suppose that with a certain phone company, an international long distance phone call from Canada to Brazil costs $0.90 for the first minute (up to and including 60 seconds), plus $0.50 for each additional minute or part of a minute. Note: "Part of a minute" means that if a new minute is started even just by one second, a full minute is charged. For example, a 5 min 1 sec phone call costs the same as a 5 min 50 sec phone call and the same as a 6 min O sec phone call. Suppose C (t) is the function that gives the cost of making a t minute long phone call. On a piece of paper, sketch a graph showing C (t) (with C on the y-axis and t on the a-axis). Then use your graph to evaluate each of the following: (Write DNE for undefined.) C (2.5) [ Select ] C (4) = [ Select ] lim C (t) [ Select ] 2+3.1 lim C (t) [ Select ] lim C (t) = [ Select ] lim C (t) = [ Select ]
The Brady & Matthew Camera Company has just come out with their newest professional quality digital camera, the Tough Pix1. The company is selling this camera only through its new mobile app at a profit of $221 per camera. This purchase comes with a guarantee that, barring gross negligence, if the camera breaks in the first two years after purchase, Brady & Matthew will replace it free of charge. Replacing a camera in this way costs the company $4900. Suppose for each ToughPix1 there is a 3% chance that it will need to be replaced exactly once, a 2% chance that it will need to be replaced exactly twice, and a 95% chance that it will not need to be replaced. If Brady & Matthew knows that it will sell many of these cameras, should it expect to make or lose money from selling them? How much? To answer, take into account the profit earned on each camera and the expected value of the cost of replacements of the camera. Brady & Matthew can expect to make money from selling these cameras.

The Scottsville Textile Mill produces several different fabrics on eight dobby looms that operate 24 hours per day and are scheduled for 30 days in the coming month. The Scottsville Textile Mill will produce only Fabric 1 and Fabric 2 during the coming month. Each dobby loom can turn out 4.68 yards of either fabric per hour. Assume that there is a monthly demand of 16,000 yards of Fabric 1 and 12,000 yards of Fabric 2. Profits are calculated as 33¢ per yard for each fabric produced on the dobby looms. (a) Will it be possible to satisfy total demand? Yes, the mill can produce enough to meet the demand. No, the mill can not produce enough to meet the demand. That's right! (b) In the event that total demand is not satisfied, the Scottsville Textile Mill will need to purchase the fabrics from another mill to make up the shortfall. Its profits on resold fabrics ordered from another mill amount to 20¢ per yard for Fabric 1 and 16¢ per yard for Fabric 2. How many yards of each fabric should…

Andrew's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Philadelphia that sells gluten-free pizzas. Andrew's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the four ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Andrew signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the four ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Andrew's kitchen cannot fit more than four ovens, Andrew cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run. However, Andrew's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Andrew lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are fixed resources, and the ovens are variable resources. Andrew's daily production schedule is presented in the following table. Fill in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product of Labor column for each worker. Total Product Marginal Product of Labor Number of Workers (Pizzas)…
