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?

Civil engineering consulting firms that provide services to outlying communities are vulnerable to a number of factors that affect the financial condition of the communities, such as bond issues, real estate developments, etc. A small consulting firm entered into a fixed-price contract with a spec home builder, resulting in a stable income of $330,000 per year in years 1 through 8.000. At the end of that time, a mild recession slowed the development, so the parties signed another contract for $160,000 per year for 2.00 more years. Determine the present worth of the two contracts at an interest rate of 15.00% per year. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The present worth of the two contracts is determined to be $

Following a successful meeting with a potential investor, you have been granted enough capital to kick start your start-up company, which has developed mobile applications that instantly compares retail prices for corresponding retail outlets across a specific location. Your company sells each application for P20. The variable cost per application is P5. The company's total fixed costs is P210,000. Calculate the break even point (Insert your answer to the nearest whole number, with no units).
Hollygan Co. must choose between gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $110,000, whereas the gas powered truck will cost $40,000. The required rate of return that applies to both investments is 14 percent. The life for both types of truck is estimated be 12 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $23,500 per year and those for gas-powered truck will be $10,000 per year. Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend. (Written work shown please)
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.)
