But there is no variable for the silver color in theequation. Is this an error in the oclr category definition? Explain your answer.Question 2What is the reference (base) category for the iPod's condition? Explain.Hint: Since new and refurbished items have no defects (by definition), the uniquelydefined condition categories are "new," "refurbished," "used with no defects," and "usedwith defects."

Crispies Inc., a player in the breakfast cereals market, sold 20,000 boxes of cereal in the first quarter of the year at a price of $5 per box. Market analysis, however, indicated that Crispies could sell 25,000 boxes in the next quarter if it lowered the price by $1 per box. The firm thus reduced the price to $4 in the second quarter to increase sales to 25,000 boxes. However, after this price reduction, the sales revenue of the firm began to decline long before it hit the target of 25,000 boxes. Which of the following, if true, can best explain this outcome? A. There is a surplus of corn in the domestic economy. B. Crispies' cereals have a high content of Butylated Hydroxytoluene, which according to recent media reports causes extreme hyperactivity in children. C. The output in the fast-food industry shrunk by 2.5 percent this year. D. The rate of inflation in the country is low. E. Crispies' per-unit cost of production is lower than $4.

Question: As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 60 percent chance of low demand and a 40 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 300,000 − 400Q and P = 500,000 − 275Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 140,000 + 240,000Q. How many new homes should you build, and what profits can you expect?

The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital SLR cameras (Camera A Price: $240, Camera B Price: $300). The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model: NA = 195 - 0.5PA + 0.35PB NB = 300 + 0.06PA - 0.5PB Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in increments of $10. Max revenue occurs at Camera A price of $ - Max revenue occurs at Camera B price of $ -

The municipality is planning to build a huge monument, buying marble from the domestic market, which is efficient. An independent study has previously estimated the local demand and supply of marble as ??=25−0.2? and ??=−5+?, respectively. If the demand due to this project is expected to change to ??=49−0.2? (the quantity is measured in square meters and the price in dollars): What is the value of the change in the total surplus caused by this project?

Question #4. Parker County is considering reestablishing bobcats in a number of local parks. The cats are known predators of small pets and livestock, but also an important predator for controlling certain rodent and small mammal populations. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has conducted both a statewide and county level contingent valuation survey. They found that the local (county level) marginal willingness to pay represented by the equation: MWTP= -.4Q+130. The DEC found the statewide marginal willingness to pay represented by the equation: MWTP= -0.9Q+400. Further, the DEC has estimated an aggregate marginal cost of establishing and maintain the bobcats to be MC= 0.5Q+30. What would be the efficient population of bobcats if only the local willingness to pay was considered? What would be the net benefits to local people if this population was maintained? What would be the efficient population of bobcats if only the statewide willingness…
