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.

Smith, a U.S. citizen, has been working as an executive of a telecommunication company in U.S., and her annual salary in 2021 was US$220,000. Her salary was expected to remain unchanged if she continued to work in the company. At the end of the year 2021, however, she was recruited by a media company in Brazil, so she started working in Brazil from January 2022, making an annual salary of US$280,000. Assuming that the amount of her salary equals the amount of her contribution to the production in the company she works for, how much the annual U.S. GDP and GNP in 2022 was changed due to her job relocation?

Anh, Caitlin and Don are housemates saving up to buy a new treadmill for their home gym. Although the treadmill can only be used by one person at a time, the housemates never exercise together, and each person has ample opportunity to use the treadmill at a time of their convenience. The treadmill they are looking at costs $900 and they have agreed to purchase it. However, as part of their treadmill purchase, they have the option of buying additional gym accessories to complement the treadmill (e.g. weights, skipping ropes, etc.) valued at 167 dollars. If Anh values the additional accessories at 64 dollars and Caitlin values them at 42 dollars, how much must Don value them if the extra accessories are to be purchased?

The objective in this exercise is to develop a numerical price optimization calculator for a linear price-response function (or any other complicated function). Create the below table in a spreadsheet (MS Excel, Google Sheets etc.). Make sure that all cells contains active formulas that calculate the required items using given parameters (b and c). Note that p* denotes the optimal price, d(p*) denotes the demand at the optimal price, r(p*) denotes the optimal revenue and m(p*) denotes the optimal profit. d(p) = (2000 – bp)+, incremental cost: c TL. Table 1: Linear Price-Response Function p* d(p*) | r(p*) m(p*) 10 20 30 40 Fill in four tables in the above format corresponding to c= 0, c= 10, c = 20 and c= 30.

You are a college sophomore who tutors fellow classmates in your free time for extra money. With your current abilities, you can earn $2,000 per year for the next three years from tutoring. However, suppose you have the option of enhancing your ability to tutor by acquiring special training for $6,000. After paying the fee, the training takes two years to complete, but at the end of this training period, you can earn $13,000 tutoring during the third year. While training in your free time, you are unable to continue tutoring. At what discount rate would you be indifferent between acquiring and not acquiring the training? You would be indifferent if the discount rate were percent. (Enter a numeric response rounded to two decimal places.)
