The owner of Barb’s Burgers has suggested the firm should invest in more moderntechnology and created a list of potential changes she thinks may be helpful as aninvestment. She has asked you to analyze the four potential choices and comment onwhat this would change in terms of cost:1. Build kiosks in the dining area for people to place their orders without having tointeract with a cashier. The kiosks would need also need to be integrated into thepoint of sales system to track orders for the kitchen Question: Argue how each of these is likely to change the cost of the firm once implemented (i.e. are any of these a fixed cost or a variable cost). How this adjust theamount of labour and/or capital currently necessary for the firm? Would the technology be a general technology, labour-saving, or capital-saving?
6. The following table reflects the cost structure (in millions) of AUS for hosting international conferences. Use the table to answer the questions below: Number of conferences 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Total cost 0 3 6 9 13 18 26 (a) Using the information, calculate the marginal cost for the 5th conference. (b) Assuming that the marginal benefit is constant at AED 7 million, how many conferences should AUS host? (c) Assuming that the marginal benefit is constant at AED 3.5 million, how many conferences should AUS host?
D. Pollution problem You know the marginal cost of reducing pollution for four factories. Each unit of pollution can be eliminated according to the following marginal costs. A B C D First Unit $65 $15 $30 $10 Second Unit $75 $55 $65 $30 Third Unit $85 $85 $110 $40 Fourth Unit $120 $155 $120 $60 1. The total cost of Firm D eliminating 4 units of pollution 2. Determine the total cost of each firm eliminating one unit of production. 3. The community has decided that the managers of the firms are allowed to produce a total of 4 units of production. Identify the firm(s) that will pollute.

Worse than useless Europe's Emissions trading Scheme (ETS) has too many carbon emission permits trading at too low a price. Source: The Economist, January 25, 2014 Under what conditions would the ETS, a cap-and-trade system, reduce carbon emissions to the efficient quantity. Use a graph to illustrate your explanation. Also, show the outcome of issuing too many permits. The efficient quantity of emissions would be produced if the quantity of permits was set such that_ price O A. carbon emissions were eliminated; equal to marginal benefit OB. marginal private cost of electricity equals marginal benefit; above marginal external cost OC. marginal private cost of electricity equals marginal benefit; equal marginal external cost OD. marginal social cost of electricity equals marginal benefit; equal to marginal external cost OE. marginal social cost of electricity equals marginal benefit; below marginal external cost The graph shows the market for electricity production in the European Union…

Problem 6Cannes Croissants (not a real company) wishes to determine the optimum production quantity for its topselling product, almond croissants. The annual demandfor almond croissants is 12,000 units. The setup costs fora production run of the croissants is US$15. The holdingcost per unit per year is US$0.50. Production is mostefficient when 80 croissants are produced per day. Thecompany operates 300 days during a year.a What is the economic production quantity (EPQ)?b How many production runs will there by per year?c What is the maximum inventory level?d What is the total annual cost (in US dollars)?e What is the length of a production run in days?

1 Optimizing Production Efficiency: A Study on Production Possibility Frontier
Gurpreet already had a balance of $1700 on her credit card when she used it to purchase items worth another $335. The minimum monthly payment is 3% of the outstanding balance or $30 dollars, whichever is greater, and the interest rate is 19.7%, compounded daily. If Gurpreet pays only the minimum each month, how long will it take her to pay off the balance? How much interest would she end up paying?
