After graduating, you start work as a management consultant. You are paid $210 per hour. One morning before work, you decide to buy a new car. You know the exact model you want, and you know that in your area the price ranges from $39,000 to $41,000, with the average price you can expect to pay being $40,000. You can choose among hundreds of dealers, but you don't know which dealer will give you the best price. Time is literally money, since every hour you spend searching is an hour you don't get paid. Each visit to a dealer takes an hour. Your expected marginal benefit of another search is the difference between the current dealer's offer and the average price. The first dealer you go to asks $40,500 for the car. Should you accept the price or keep searching? (Keep in mind that each visit to a dealer takes an hour.) Keep searching. Accept the price. Suppose you kept searching, and the next dealer you go to asks $40,150. Do you think you should accept this price or keep searching? O…
Emily and Joel Schumaker 1.Emily and Joel Schumaker are married clients who have just been approved for a twenty-year, $150,000 mortgage. They have been given a choice of two loans. One loan has an annual percentage rate (APR) of 8 percent and does not carry a fee, and the other has an APR of 7.5 percent but carries a discount fee of 2 percent of the initial loan amount.

Stated another way, which option has the lower cost? When conducting the analysis, assume all required payments are made at the end of each month and that interest is compounded monthly. Remember to consider the difference in loan payment, the difference in remaining balance at the time of…

7. Jane and Joe are a wealthy couple. In part, this wealth is attributable to Jane’s highly successful limousine business. Although Joe has been involved somewhat in the limousine business, he has a variety of other ventures and assets. Jane decides it should be clearly established that she had legal control over the limousine business and how it is run. As a result, the two enter into a contract pursuant to which Jane foregoes all claims to all business ventures in exchange for Joe agreeing to do the same with respect to the limousine business. At the time, the limousine business has an FMV of $2 million and a basis of $500,000. Joe has the equivalent aggregate FMV and basis in his businesses. What are the tax consequences to Jane and Joe respectively?

17.10. SALE OF BUSINESS. Suppose that a firm owns a business unit that it wants to sell. Potential buyers know that the seller values the unit at either $100 million, $110 million, $120 million,... $190 million, each value equally likely. The seller knows the precise value, but the buyer only knows the distribution. The buyer expects to gain from synergies with its existing businesses, so that its value is equal to seller's value plus $10 million (In other words, there are gains from trade.) Finally, the buyer must make a take-it-or-leave-it offer at some price p. How much should the buyer offer?
Jan wants to buy a house, but her friend Kan is a much tougher negotiator. They devise a plan where Kan will tell the seller of the house that she is Jan’s agent and will make all the decisions with respect to any purchase of the house.

They meet with the seller, and Kan says that she is Jan’s agent while Jan says nothing. Has an agency been created? Discuss in details the pros and cons of this case.
You make delicious cupcakes that you mail to customers across the country. Your cupcakes are so unique and special that you have a great deal of pricing power. Your customers have identical demand curves for your cupcakes, and a representative customer’s demand curve is shown below. (It’s not needed, but the demand curve equation is P=5-0.2Q or Q=25-5P.) Suppose your MC=$1/cupcake, whether you produce lots or just a few cupcakes. To keep things simple, suppose there are no fixed costs, so FC=0.a) Acting as a monopolist, show the standard pricing analysis on the graph below that identifies your profit-mamximing price and quantity for your representative customer. Shade areas representing your profit and CS. (PS and profit are the same here since FC=0). b) (Suppose you offer a quantity discount: first 10 cupcakes at $3 each and any cupcakes over 10 are offered at a discounted price. What discount price will maximize your profit? Show this quantity discount arrangement on your graph…
