Consider a simple, homogeneous monocentric city with a circular shape. If the location rent premium at the center is $6,000 per year per acre, the rent at the edge of the city is $10,000 per year per acre, and the density is 3 persons per acre. Supposing that the annual transportation cost per person per mile of distance from the CBD is $200 (round- trip), and if the population increases by 10% (density and transportation cost do not change), what will be the new rent at the center of the city per year per acre? Group of answer choices $16,300 $15,250 $16,600 $15,000

After extensive surveys, the research department of a company has determined that the supply and demand equations for a certain product are s(p) = 700p – 27300 and d(p) = 28000/p, where p is %3D the price in dollars. Find the equilibrium point. (If your answer is $500, then write only 500, without $.)
Two countries trade with each other. The one country (Petro), has a comparative advantage i the production of oil; the other (Sucre) in the production of sugar. Both countries are big on world market for these goods. The world market price of oil is 90 dollars per unit (per barrel): for sugar it is 2 dollars per kg. Evaluate the following statements (each statement separately), they are true or false? In subtasks 3b and 3c, you must illustrate what happens on the world market (in task 3a, you must not use any figure). 3a With the given relative prices, Sucre's exchange ratio is 90/2, ie 45 kg of sugar per barrel of oil. 3 3b trade ratio to deteriorate. (Figure required) If Sucre discovers large oil deposits that it can exploit, its time will come 3c If a large percentage of the world's population reduces their sugar consumption due to its harmful health effects improve Petro's metabolic rate. (Figure required)
Suppose that you can sell as much of a product (in integer units) as you like at $60 per unit. Your marginal cost (MC) for producing the qth unit is given by: MC = 7q This means that each unit costs more to produce than the previous one (e.g., the first unit costs 7*1, the second unit (by itself) costs 7*2, etc.). If fixed costs are $80, what is the optimal integer output level? Please specify your answer as an integer. If fixed costs are $80, what is the profit at the optimal integer output level? Please specify your answer as an integer.
(You will need to use a spreadsheet to tackle these questions.) 1. How much of q can be produced for £60,000 if the total cost function is TC = 86 + 152q − 12q2 + 0.6q3? 2. What output can be produced for £150,000 if TC = 130 + 62q − 3.5q2 + 0.15q3? 3. Solve for x when 0 = −1,340 + 14x + 2x2 − 1.5x3 + 0.2x4 + 0.005x5 − 0.0002x6
The demand curve shows how energy use spikes at times of the day that do not align with peak alternative energy production. Pick two potential solutions and explain how they address the demand curve problem in 1-2 sentences for each example:
Distinguish between past and present designs in the light of economic efficiency
Problem 4/ A firm produced two types of television x of type A and y of type B per year (in thousands). If the revenue and cost equations for the year are (in million dollars) R(x, y) = 3x+6y C(x, y) = x2 + y2-3x-2y-8 Determine how many of each type of television should be produced per year to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit?
The manufacturer of Brand A automobile tires claims that its tire can save 120 gallons of fuel over 54,000 miles of driving, as compared to a popular competitor (Brand B). If gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon, how much per mile driven does this tire save the customer (Brand A versus Brand B)? The savings are $ per mile. (Round to three decimal places.)
1: Given that the value of time is $1.5 per minute, justify the proposal. 2: To what value of the construction cost would the proposal become justified?
Suppose that the production function takes the form X = min(10L, 5K) and that a competitive firm faces a wage rate of £60 per week and a weekly capital rental of £32. (a) How much must the firm spend to produce 100 units of output, and what is the average cost of production when X = 100? (b) What is the incremental cost of producing the 101st unit of output? (c) What happens to the cost of producing 100 units of output if the wage rate and the rental cost of capital rise by 25 per cent each? What happens to the average and marginal cost? (d) What happens to the cost of producing 100 units of output if the wage rate increases by £1, or if the cost of capital increases by £1?
