Consider a two-period small open economy without production and a representative household, which lives for two periods. It receives endowments in the first period (Qi) and second period (Q2), respectively. The household inherits no wealth and optimally decides how much to consume in the first period (C1) and second period (C2) as well as international bond holdings (B1) in the first period, which pays the interest rate R. Household preferences are given by U(C1; C2) = log(C1)+log(C2). Explain in THREE sentences the effects of anticipated permanent improvement in terms of trade

Products A and B requires various times for operations on machine M1, M2 and M3. During a certain productionperiod, M1 has 4000 minutes of time available, M2 has 6000 minutes , and M3 has 3000 minutes. Machine timeper unit of A 1 minute on M1, 2 minutes on M2 and no time on M3. Machine time per unit of B is 1 minute oneach of the three machines. Expected profit contributions are TK 60 per unit of A made and TK 75 per unit ofB. If production during the period is limited to products A and B, how many units of each should be made tomaximize the profit.

Consider a duopoly market, where two firms sell differentiated products, which are imperfect substitutes. The market can be modelled as a static price competition game, similar to a linear city model. The two firms choose prices p₁ and p2₂ simultaneously. The derived demand functions for the two firms are: D₁ (P₁, P2) = S(+ P2²-P₁) and D₂ (P₁, P2)= S(+²₁=P²), where S> 0 and the parameter t > 0 measures the 2t 2t degree of product differentiation. Both firms have constant marginal cost c> 0 for production. (a) Derive the Nash equilibrium of this game, including the prices, outputs and profit of the two firms. 2t (b) From the demand functions, qi= Di (Pi, Pj )= S(+ PP¹), derive the residual inverse demand functions: P₁ = Pi (qi, Pj) (work out: Pi (qi, Pj)).

JMA Manufacturing is considering expanding the company's manufacturing capacity at its New Bern plant. Engineering has developed estimates for three expansion plans. A small expansion will cost $1 million. A medium-sized expansion will cost $2 million, while a major expansion will cost $5 million. The income generated by the expansion will depend on the demand for JMA's product. Marketing has developed estimates for the net present value (not including the fixed cost of the capacity expansion) associated with each of the expansion alternatives based on low and high demand scenarios. If JMA decides to go with the small expansion, marketing estimates the company can earn $0.5 million if demand is low and $2 million if demand is high. With the medium expansion, income will be $2 million (low demand) and $3 million (high demand). With the large expansion, marketing estimates income will be $4 million if demand is low and $8 million if demand is high. Marketing estimates there is a one in…
A dealer wishes to purchase a number of fans and sewing machines. He has only 5760 ETB to invest and has space for almost 20 items. A fan costs him 360 ETB and sewing machine 240 ETB. His expectation is that he can sell a fan at profit of 22 ETB and a sewing machine at a profit of 18 ETB. Assuming that he can sell all the items that he can buy, how should he invest his money in order to maximize his profit? (Note: ETB = Ethiopian Birr) Formulate it as a linear programming problem (LPP) Use the graphical method to solve it.

The Acme Manufacturing Company is concerned about its warehouse needs and how they can best be met. The company produces a line of spare parts for appliance. Due to the combination of production policies and demand patterns, warehousing space requirement vary considerably throughout the year. Space requirements are known with a great deal of certainty because the product line satisfies a replacement market. Growth, or decline, in production and sales is not anticipated in the near future. Monthly sales rates for a typical year are as follows: Month Sales, $ Jan. 5,000,000 Feb. 4,000,000 Mar. 3,000,000 Apr. 2,000,000 May 1,000,000 June 250,000 July 1,250,000 Aug. 2,250,000 Sept. 3,000,000 Oct. 3,500,000 Nov. 4,000,000 Dec. 4,500,000 Total 33,750,000 Warehouse inventory turns at the rate of two times per month.

A company must meet the following demands for a product: January, 30 units; February, 30 units; March, 20 units. Demand may be backlogged at a cost of $5/unit/month. All demand must be met by the end of March. Thus, if 1 unit of January demand is met during March, a backlogging cost of 5(2) production capacity and unit production cost during each month are given in Table 66. A holding cost of $20/unit is assessed on the inventory at the end of each month. 3 $10 is incurred. Monthly a Formulate a balanced transportation problem that could be used to determine how to minimize the total cost (including backlogging, holding, and production costs) of meeting demand. Use Vogel's method to find a basic feasible solution. Use the transportation simplex to determine how to meet each month's demand. Make sure to give an inter- pretation of your optimal solution (for example, 20 units of month 2 demand is met from month 1 production). C
