Question 1: Given the following information: Price of good x (RM) Quantity demanded for Quantity demanded for Quantity demanded for good Y (Units) good x (Units) good Z (Units) 1 100 1,000 10 2 50 500 20 3 25 250 40 4 20 200 80 18 180 180 a) Suppose the price of good x increase from RM3 per unit to RM4 per unit, calculate and explain: i) Price elasticity of demand for good x. ii) Cross elasticity of demand for good Y with respect to good X. iii) Cross elasticity of demand for good Z with respect to good X. b) What is the relationship between: i) Goods X and Y? ii) Goods X and Z? c) If you are the producer of good x and you want to increases your total revenue would you increase the price of RM3 per unit to RM4 per unit? Why? ( use the concepts of elasticity in your answer)?.

Suppose you are deciding whether you should go to college. If you go to college, you will pay $10,000 total in tuition, textbooks, and room and board every year for 4 years, with the first payment being made immediately and then the next three payments 1 year apart. Upon graduating, you expect to get a job earning $50,000 per year for the next 40 years. Assume that your first paycheck arrives exactly 1 year after you start working and you continue getting paid annually thereafter. Also assume that there are no raises in that particular field. If you do not go to college, you can start working immediately. The pay, however, is lower. You would expect to work for 44 years and earn $34,000 per year, with your first paycheck arriving exactly 1 year from now, and you continue getting paid annually thereafter. For the questions below, round all numbers to two decimals. Show Transcribed Text Part 1 (1 point) Assume the interest rate is 7%. If you were to attend college, the present value of…
1. Alizeh and Kelly were traveling together and have gotten stranded at an airport overnight. They have no cash, but they did both think to bring granola bars and turkey sandwiches with them. They currently each have several granola bars and a few sandwiches. Alizeh announces that she'd be willing to give up a granola bar for one turkey sandwich. Kelly responds that turkey sandwiches are bigger than granola bars so she would be willing to give up a granola bar if she could get half a turkey sandwich. Is Kelly and Alizeh's current allocation of granola bars and turkey sandwiches efficient? Explain why or why not. (Note that you cannot rely on a rule here – you have to specifically explain why the allocation does or does not meet the definition of an efficient allocation.)

3. Suppose we play the following game. I give you $100 for your initial bankroll. At each time n, you decide how much of your current wealth to bet. You cannot borrow money. You can only play with the money I gave you in the beginning or any money that you have won so far. The game is simple. At each time n ≥ 1, you decide the amount to bet. I will roll a fair die. If the die comes up 1,2,3,..., or 5, you win; if the die comes up 6, then you lose. IOW, if you bet $10 on the first roll, you will either have $90 or $110 after the first roll. (a) Suppose you wish to maximize your profit on the first roll. How much should you bet? (Most of you will get this wrong.) (b) What is the expected profit on the first roll if your bet is b with 0 ≤ b ≤ 100? (c) Suppose you wish to maximize your expected profit on the first roll. How much should you bet? (d) Suppose you wish to maximize your expected profit betting on the nth roll. How much of your current wealth do you bet? (e) Let X₂, be your…
