= Questions 1.6 and 1.7 refer to a consumer with preferences over lotteries represented by the Bernoulli utility function u(x) √4x, who receives two job offers, X and Y, that pay wages that depend on whether the economy enters a boom (A), maintains its actual growth (B) or enters a recession (C). Specifically, X pays (A, B, x℃) = (64, 16,0) and Y pays (YA, YB, YC) = (36, 16, 16). The probabilities of scenarios A, B and C are pA = 1/4, PB 1/2 and pc = 1/4, respectively. = 1.6. Identify the expected utilities of X and Y for this individual. □Eu(X) = 9, Eu(Y) = 8 □Eu(X) = 9, Eu(Y) = 10 Eu(X) = 8, Eu(Y) = 9 □Eu(X) = 8, Eu(Y) = 10. 1.7.

The price of crude oil increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, crude oil has traded at between 70 and 150 USD per barrel. But the price increased to over 200 USD in March 2022. Growing demand in Canada for crude to be turned into refined petroleum, coupled with a sharp fall in production in Saudi Arabia have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Saudi Arabia for 2017- 18 fell 65% year-on-year due to an agreement with OPEC. The Energy Information Administration predicts that global consumption of crude oil is likely to be greater than production by 20 million barrels this year. In the US, companies in the steel and alumina industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of petrol. Commentators predict that most steel and alumina producers will be unaffected because crude is such a small part of their spending. a. Explain, using supply and…
Suppose Dr. Splendor is the only instructor of Magical Economics employed by the College of Necromancy (CON) at Hogwarts University. CON agreed to pay him a total of G5,000 (5,000 galleons) to create an online version of this course, to be delivered in August 2015. Further, they gave him an advance of G2,000 in April to complete the outline for the course and several course modules by the end of July. On July 31 he turned in a brief outline for the course and 2 modules. CoN claims that it fails to live up to the CoN's expectation that he create a detailed outline and 4 modules. Given the ambiguity over the word "several," and what constitutes a "detailed" outline, Splendor disagrees. Might Splendor have exploited rent and/or quasi-rent? Explain.
You've been promoted to the position of Manager at the Ibis Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, which is a great opportunity. It is your responsibility as the hotel's management to ensure that the entire facility is free of debris and always clean. To accommodate its visitors, the hotel is expected to provide them with an internet connection, a complimentary breakfast, non-smoking rooms, and laundry facilities. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with delicious fruit trays and are provided with complimentary limousine service. Conduct a KANO ANALYSIS on the case study provided above, and identify the elements that can influence the value of a product or service based on the results.
Jenny Tanaka wants to buy a new car, and the annual gasoline expense is a major consideration. Her present car gets 25 miles per gallon (mpg), and she is considering purchasing a new car that gets 40 mpg. Jenny now drives about 12,000 miles per year and pays $3.25 per gallon of gasoline. She therefore calculates an annual gasoline consumption of 480 gallons for her 25 mpg car (12,000 miles/25 mpg) compared to 300 gallons consumed per year for the 40 mpg car (12,000 miles/40 mpg). Since driving the higher- mileage car would use 180 gallons less per year, Jenny estimates the new car will save her $585 in gasoline expense per year (180 gallons 3 $3.25 per gallon). Suppose Jenny buys the 40 mpg car. According to economic theory, Jenny's actual annual savings on gasoline will be 7 1 C 1 U C VI 10 V K W S TACAZEC 10 GUNS TOMBER 2 than her initial estimate of $585.

AVC = 10-0.03q+0.00005q^2 ATC = 10-0.03q+0.00005q^2 +100/q and MC = 10-0.06q+0.00015q^2 Answer the following questions in EXCEL:1 At what value of q is AVC at its minimum? (Hint: The easiest way tocalculate this value is to solve AVC - MC = 0 for q.)2 At the above output level what value does AVC take?3 If the forecasted price of the firm's output is $10 per unit:a How much output will the firm produce in the short run?b How much profit (loss) will the firm earn)?4 If the forecasted price is $7 per unit:a How much output will the firm produce in the short run? (Keep only2 decimals)b How much profit (loss) will the firm earn)? (Keep only 2 decimals)
A convenience store manager earns a base salary plus a small bonus of $60 for each of ten different possible monthly milestones he meets. If the manager meets a milestone, the full bonus is paid. However, if the manager falls even one penny short, none of that bonus is paid. Suppose each of the ten milestones requires 40 hours of effort to meet, and that the manager has 160 hours of effort to allocate to work each month. In order to maximize the total monthly bonus, the manager should allocate hours toward meeting each of milestones and hours toward meeting each of the remaining sales milestones.
