Iyana's Pizzas is a takeout-only pizza parlor servicing the college campus of Urbana that specializes in vegan pizzas. Iyana's small shop has barely enough room for customers to stand and wait, let alone the five pizza ovens necessary to keep up with the hungry student customers. Iyana signed a lease renting both the five ovens and the storefront for the next year. Due to the terms of the lease and the building's size constraint, Iyana is unable to change the store's number of pizza ovens in the short run. However, Iyana does face a decision regarding the number of employees to schedule on a weekly basis. Every Sunday, Iyana contacts the staff to communicate the amount of workers needed on each day of the upcoming week. In the short run, the store employees are inputs, and pizza ovens are inputs. The following table presents Iyana's daily production schedule. Fill in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product of Labor column for each worker. Output Marginal Product of Labor (Pizzas) Labor (Number of workers) (Pizzas) 0 1 2 3 4 5 0 60 100 130 150 160

The Acmeville Metropolitan Bus Service currently charges $0.88 for an all-day ticket, and has an average of 623 riders a day. The bus company is not earning a profit, but according to their contract with the city, they cannot cut the number of buses on the road. They must therefore find a way to increase revenues. The bus company is considering increasing the ticket price to $1.11. The marketing department's studies indicate this price increase would reduce usage to 346 riders per day. Calculate the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for bus tickets using the simple percentage change method. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Compute the shut down costs Determine the shutdown point. (Shut down point = (Total fixed costs – shutdown costs)/CMU) Determine the net loss if the operations in continued.

You are hired as a consultant at a revenue management firm and one of ourrecent clients wished to determine the optimum price for their consumer electronics product.The cost of the product is $100 and before retaining us, they had been selling the product at$200 because it felt like a nice round number. The current sales volume is 1000 units peryear. We examined the market preferences and buying behavior, and concluded that thiscompany’s marketplace has a price elasticity of 1 (i.e. Assume that an x% change in pricewill result in an x% change in sales volume for any x). What is the optimal price thatmaximizes total profit for this company? What are the sales volume, total revenue and totalprofit at the optimal price?

The price of bauxite increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, bauxite has traded at between 1500 and 1600 USD per tonne. But the price increased to over 1900 USD in November 2020. Growing demand in Canada for bauxite to be turned into aluminium, coupled with a sharp fall in Jamaican production have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Jamaica for 2017-18 fell 65% year-on-year due to flood conditions causing damages as well as increased competition. The London Metal Exchange predicts that global consumption of bauxite is likely to be greater than production by 20 million tonnes next year. In the US, companies in the steel and petrol industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of bauxite. Commentators predict that most steel and petrol producers will be unaffected because bauxite is such a small part of their spending. Illustrate the predictions…
