The inverse demand for Harley Davidson motorcycles is given by: P= 40,000-10Q where P is the price in dollars, and Q measures the number of units sold each month. Harley Davidson is curently producing motorcycles at a constant marginal and average cost of $16,000. Assume Harley Davidson is a monopoly. Heavy tariffs on imported steel drive up Harley's marginal and avorage cost by $2,000. What is the new profit-maximizing quantity?

3. Consider a home energy storage (battery) system that can store up to 2 units of energy. At every time step, there is a demand for energy in the home which is drawn from 0,1,2 units with equal probability independent of the demands in the previous time steps. At every point in time, you have to satisfy the demand either by discharging the needed energy from the battery or purchasing power from the grid (or a combination of the two). You could also choose to purchase power from the grid to charge your battery. The grid energy price is either H(igh) or L(ow) according to a Markov chain (Price moves from H to L with probability p, and from L to H with probability q). (a) Model the decision making as an infinite horizon MDP where the objective is to minimize the discounted cost of energy purchased over an infinite horizon. (b) Write down a policy a of your choosing. Perform two steps of the operator T, for your policy, followed by one step of T..

Mary is a corn farmer in Iowa. If she does not irrigate her field, she can produce 120 bushels of corn per acre. If she applies 4 inches of irrigation water, she can produce 140 bushels of corn per acre. The application of 8, 12, and 16 inches of irrigation water can result in 160, 180, and 200 bushels of corn per acre, respectively. Graph the relationship between the amount of water applied and corn yield for Mary. What is the slope?
2. Exercise 8.2 Howard Bowen is a large-scale cotton farmer. The land and machinery he owns has a current market value of $12 million. Bowen owes his local bank $9 million. Last year Bowen sold $11 million worth of cotton. His variable operating costs were $9 million; accounting depreciation was $40,000, although the actual decline in value of Bowen's machinery was $60,000 last year. Bowen paid himself a salary of $50,000, which is not considered part of his variable operating costs. Interest on his bank loan was $400,000. If Bowen worked for another farmer or a local manufacturer, his annual income would be about $30,000. Bowen can invest any funds that would be derived if the farm were sold to earn 10% annually. (Ignore taxes.) What is Bowen's accounting profit? O $1,560,000 O $1,550,000 O $1,220,000.00 O $1,210,000.00 What is Bowen's economic profit? O $1,550,000 O $1,210,000.00 O $1,560,000 O $1,220,000.00
