4. Example 1.D.1: Suppose that X = {x,y,z}, B = {{x,y}, {y,z},{x,z}}, C({x,y}_ = {x}, C({y,z}) = {y} and C({x,z})={z} This choice structure satisfies the weak axiom. Nevertheless, we cannot have rationalizing preferences. How do we know if this choice structure satisfies the weak axiom? Given the C({x,y}) = x, C({y,z}), shouldn't C({x,z}) = x? if we have to always make the same choice based on WARP.

For a certain company, the cost for producing x items is 60x + 300 and the revenue for selling x items is 100x – 0.5x². - The profit that the company makes is how much it takes in (revenue) minus how much it spends (cost). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least wants to make a profit! Part a: Set up an expression for the profit from producing and selling x items. We assume that the company sells all of the items that it produces. (Hint: it is a quadratio polynomial.) Part b: Find two values of x that will create a profit of $300. The field below accepts a list of numbers or formulas separated by semicolons (e.g. 2; 4; 6 or x + 1; x – 1). The order of the list does not matter. To enter va, type sqrt(a). x = Part c: Is it possible for the company to make a profit of $15,000?

Assume that Facebook and Linkedin Companies have to decide whether to invest in the development of application. If they both develop successfully the new application, their profits will increase by 10 million a year. If only one develop the application, it will make 50 million a year in additional profits, whereas the profits of the other firm will drop by 15 million a year. If no firm develops the screen, the profits of the companies remains same which is 10 million. Based on given information, construct Matrix Representation of Facebook and Linkedin Companies game. In addition, based on given information, construct decision tree (Facebook choosesfirst)
State the Gauss-Markov Theorem.
A factory manufactures both toy boats and toy trucks. It costs $125 to make a toy boat and $175 to make a toy truck. The factory only has $3,000 available to put into their production. If B is the number of boats made, and T is the number of trucks made, which of the following will be a Lagrangian equation if you are trying to maximise profits? a.120 + 5B + 7T = 0 b.120 - 5B - 7T = 0 c.0 = 120 - 5B + 7T d.0 = -120 - 5B - 7T e.120 + 5B - 7T = 0

The dung beetle gets utility from consuming mud balls which are made out of mud and dung. Both inputs are measured in grams and perfectly divisible. Its utility from balls which contain m grams of mud and d grams of dung is u(m, d) = md. For reasons to do with the structural integrity of the balls, however, it cannot combine the two ingredients in very different quantities. The ratio of mud and dung it uses must fall between 1 : 2 and 2 : 1. Excess amounts of either ingredient are discarded at no cost to the dung beetle. (a) How much utility does the beetle get from the following bundles of mud and dung, (m, d)? i. (2,16). ii. (4,8). iii. (4,16). iv. (6,16/3). (b) Draw an indifference curve between mud and dung that represent the preferences of the dung beetle and gives the beetle a utility level of 32.

A jewelry store makes necklaces and bracelets from gold and platinum. The store has developed the following lin- ear programming model for determining the number of necklaces and bracelets (x, and x,) to make in order to maximize profit: Maximize Z = 300x, + 400x2 (profit, $) subject to 3x1 + 2x2 < 18 (gold, oz) 2x, + 4x2 s 20 (platinum, oz) x2 54 (demand, bracelets) X1, x2 2 () a. Solve this model graphically. b. The maximum demand for bracelets is 4. If the store produces the optimal number of bracelets and neck- laces, will the maximum demand for bracelets be met? If not, by how much will it be missed? c. What profit for a necklace would result in no bracelets being produced, and what would be the op- timal solution for this problem?
