Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for wine, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. PRICE (Dollars per case) 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 I Supply Demand 09 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90 QUANTITY (Cases) Graph Input Tool Suppose the government imposes a $10-per-case tax on suppliers.

Find x for the following equation. In (x+4) + In 2 = 2 In x (Type an integer or a fraction. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “ ice-cream" and Y-axis should be labeled "The temperature". Relationship options: positive, negative Line options: A, B, C, D True or False: Line D has a slope of infinity.

Hayfever Farms is an 80‑acre hay farm in Colorado. Due to the legalization of marijuana production in the state, the owners are considering changing the farm's name to Blissful Acres and growing marijuana instead of hay. Use the information presented in the table to answer three questions. Number of acres MC $ MR $ (hay) MR $ (marijuana) 10 320 730 5,600 20 200 730 5,600 30 540 730 5,600 40 730 730 5,600 50 1,200 730 5,600 60 3,200 730 5,600 70 5,600 730 5,600 80 6,700 730 5,600 If they continue to grow only hay, how many acres should Hayfever Farms devote to growing hay in order to maximize profits? area devoted to hay:_______ acres If the owners decide to only grow marijuana, how many acres should Blissful Acres devote to growing marijuana in order to maximize profits? area devoted to marijuana:_______ acres Which outcome likely happens due to the legalization of marijuana production and consumption?

← Café Michigan's manager, Gary Stark, suspects that demand for mocha latte coffees depends on the price being charged. Based on historical observations, Gary has gathered the following data, which show the numbers of these coffees sold over six different price values: Price $2.50 $3.50 $1.90 $4.20 $3.20 $4.10 Number Sold 760 515 980 250 320 490 D Using simple linear regression and given that the price per cup is $1.75, the forecasted demand for mocha latte coffees will be 1862.8 cups (enter your response rounded to one decimal place). 88
Use a software of your own choice to calculate the daily log prices (lp) and daily log returns (Ir) i. Examine the descriptive statistics of both lp and Ir. What do you conclude about the distributions of lp and Ir? Is lp normally distributed? Is Ir normally distributed? Obtain the correlograms, and examine the autocorrelations and partial autocorrelations for both lp and Ir. What do you conclude about the behaviour of lp and Ir? Are they stationary/non-stationary? ii. iii. Are your conclusions about stationary/non-stationary of lp and lr confirmed by appropriate unit root tests?

Zeitler’s Department Stores sells its products online and through traditional brick-andmortarstores. The following parallel coordinates plot displays data from a sample of20 customers who purchased clothing from Zeitler’s either online or in-store. The datainclude variables for the customer’s age, annual income, and the distance from the customer’shome to the nearest Zeitler’s store. According to the parallel coordinates plot, howare online customers differentiated from in-store customers?
The following table shows worldwide sales of a certain type of cell phone and their average selling prices in 2012 and 2013. Year 2012 2013 Selling Price ($) Sales (millions) 928 1,144 375 335 (a) Use the data to obtain a linear demand function for this type of cell phone. (Let p be the price, and let q be the demand). q(p): -5.4p + 3185 X Use your demand equation to predict sales if the price is lowered to $255. 1808 x million phones (b) Fill in the blank. For every $1 increase in price, sales of this type of cell phone decrease by 5.4 million units.
Is there any graph that can support this answer?
