Suppose apartments are in four locations: Location A, Location B, Location C, and Location D. Location A is in the city, where your job is. Location B is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location A. Location C is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location B, and Location D is 10 minutes farther than Location C. In turn, similar apartments in Location B rent for $195 less per month than apartments in Location A, apartments in Location C rent for $195 less than in Location B, and apartments in Location D rent for $195 less than in Location C. Suppose the value of your time is $22 per hour and you work 21 days per month, with each day requiring a round-trip commute from your apartment to work. For simplicity, assume rent and the opportunity cost of your time commuting to work are the only factors influencing the location in which to rent an apartment. You should rent an apartment in Location D. Suppose you currently rent an apartment in Location C. By moving to optimize, you change your net benefit by $ (Enter your response as an integer.)

(Saving,investment) is the source of the demand for loanable funds. As the interest rate falls, the quantity of loanable funds demanded (decreases, increase). Suppose the interest rate is 4.5%. Based on the previous graph, the quantity of loanable funds supplied is (greater,less) than the quantity of loans demanded, resulting in a (surplus,shortage) of loanable funds. This would encourage lenders to (raise,lower) the interest rates they charge, thereby (increasing, decreasing) the quantity of loanable funds supplied and (increasing, decreasing) the quantity of loanable funds demanded, moving the market toward the equilibrium interest rate of ______%.
Tim lives in Vancouver and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $733,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $433,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totalling $257,000. He owns his show room; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $13,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this show room does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Tim does not operate this piano business, he can work as a paralegal, receive an annual salary of $23,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his show room at the $13,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.

James has a wage income of $50.000 in the present and $200.000 in the future. His utility is given as U = min (2Cp, Cr) - that is, his utility is the lesser of twice the dollars spent on present consumption or the dollars spent on future consumption. The interest rate is 30%. (A) What is the minimum amount of money James would be willing to accept today to have the interest rate at 40% rather than 30%? Explain and show work (B) What is the maximum amount of money James would pay today to have the interest rate at 30% rather than 40%? Explain and show work
