For the next set of multiple choice questions, consider a construction contract between a builder and a client, where V = $20,000 R = $1,000 P = $15,000 V = the client's value of performance; R = the client's reliance investment; and P = the contract price, payable on performance. Suppose that at the time the contact was made, the cost of performance to the builder is uncertain, but it was known that it will definitely take one of the following values: C=($10,000; $14,000; $18,000; $22,000). 23. It is efficient for the builder to breach this contract if it turns out that (a) C=$10,000 (b) C=$14,000 (c) C=$18,000 (d) C=$22,000. 24. Calculate the amount of expectation damages for this example. It is equal to:

Suppose we know that p=1,056– D/5, where p = price in dollars and D = annual demand. The total cost per year can be approximated by $1,000 + 2D2 . a.Determine the value of D that maximizes profit. b.Show that in part(a) profit has been maximized rather than minimized. c. Find the maximum profit Show handwritten solutions.
A firm's revenue is R = 100g - 4q2 and cost is C = %3D 100 + 20g. The owner of the firm offers two alternative compensation packages to the manager: 1) 40% share of the company's profit or 2) 20% of the company's revenue. Which package will the manager choose?
Tim lives in Vancouver and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $733,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $433,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totalling $257,000. He owns his show room; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $13,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this show room does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Tim does not operate this piano business, he can work as a paralegal, receive an annual salary of $23,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his show room at the $13,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.
Recall a sharecropping agreement is where a farmer provides a percentage of their yield to a landowner in exchange for renting the land.

Brown orally told Black to build him a wooden garage 25 feet long and 15 feet wide, having a concrete floor, overhead doors, and a sloping roof covered with asphalt shingles. No other specifications were stated. The agreed-upon price was $5,600. The agreement and details were not recorded in writing. Black built the garage, but she included no windows and no electric lights. Brown claimed that these two items were included in the agreement by implication. Is Brown correct in this matter?
Amazon initially selected two locations for US headquarters-NYC and Northern Virginia. It recently withdrew from NYC due to opposition regarding the incentive costs and impact on the environment. New Jersey is also re-evaluating its incentive grant program.In general, do you believe that state and local incentive programs are effective in maintaining or attracting corporate business?
model of a firm that produces final goods using R&D and components as inputs, with cost data as follows:Assembly: Total cost of production = PAQA = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = WHHA = 100Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = WLLA = 200Earnings of Capital = RKA = 100R&D: Total cost of production = PRQR = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = WHHR = 175Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = WLLR = 125Earnings of Capital = RKR = 100A) In which factor(s) is assembly intensive? In which factor(s) is R&D intensive?B) Suppose that due to the opening of trade, the price of assembly falls by ∆PA/PA = −20%, the price of R&D remains unchanged, ∆PR/PR = 0%, and capital’s share earnings remains constant.C) What has happened to the relative wage of high-skilled/low-skilled labor? Does this match the predictions of the offshoring model?

One study presented in the text calculated the cost per life-year saved for various medical interventions. For each of the scenarios that follow, determine whether the scenario represents diminishing marginal product of medical care. If it does, determine whether the diminishing marginal product is on the extensive or intensive margin. Please completely explain your answer to each scenario. a) Intervention: Pap Smear, Starting at the Age of 20, Continuing to 74. Every 3 years, compared to not screening: Cost per life year saved = $36,017 Every 2 years, compared to every 3 years: Cost per life year saved = $711,671 b) Intervention: Hypertension Screening 40-year-old males: Cost per life year saved: $41,279 40-year-old females: Cost per life year saved: $63,333
