In the second semester the fees went up to ¢2700 and the enrolment dropped to 2950. You further observed that in the 2019/2020 academic year, Central University increased their fees from ¢2600 to ¢2900 and the enrolment at VVU went up from 2150 to 3005. Calculate the arc price elasticity of demand, interpret your results and advice management of UEW on pricing. What explains this elasticity coefficient obtained in (i)? Calculate the arc cross-price elasticity of demand, interpret your results and determine the relationship between Central University and UEW.
Suppose a project needs to hire 50 electricians. At the initial wage of 60K/year (including benefits) 480 are currently employed in the local area and 20 are estimated to be unemployed. The MEBT (marginal excess tax burden ) is 0.2. After electricians are hired for the project, the local wage increases to 65K/year and the number employed locally increases to 510. 1)Estimate the opportunity cost of hiring the workers.

Case 1: A local bakery has noticed a decrease in the demand for their pastries. They found out that a new bakery in town is offering similar pastries at a lower price. What should the local bakery do based on demand analysis? Case 2: A clothing store wants to estimate the demand for a new line of summer dresses. They have historical sales data for similar dresses. What method should they use for demand estimation? Case 3: A tech company is launching a new product. They want to forecast the demand for the product for the next year. They don't have historical sales data for similar products. What method should they use for demand forecasting? Case 4: A manufacturing company is trying to determine the cost of producing a new product. They know that the cost of raw materials and labor will increase with the number of units produced, but the cost of the machinery will remain the same regardless of the number of units produced. How should they categorize these costs in their cost analysis?…
Student Enterprises sells two sizes of wall posters, a large 3- by 4-foot poster and a smaller 2- by 3-foot poster. The profit earned from the sale of each large poster is $3; each smaller poster earns $2. The firm, although profitable, is not large; it consists of one art student, Jan Meising, at the University of Kentucky. Because of her classroom schedule, Jan has the following weekly constraints: (1) up to three large posters can be sold, (2) up to five smaller posters can be sold, and (3) up to 10 hours can be spent on posters during the week, with each large poster requiring 2 hours of work and each smaller one taking 1 hour. With the semester almost over, Jan plans on taking a 3-month summer vacation to England and doesn’t want to leave any unfinished posters behind. Find the integer solution that will maximize her profit.

Please calculate the total cost of providing a 50% subsidy on purchases of fruit and vegetables at farmers markets by SNAP participants. Assume that you are estimating it for the state of Connecticut with 350,000 SNAP participants. The season for farmers markets and the use of subsidies is 5 months (May-September); subsidies can only be used during this period. Based on prior studies, you know that a typical SNAP participant that attends farmers markets will purchase on average 3 lb of fruit and 2 lb of vegetables per month. Average price for vegetables is $1.5 per lb and the price elasticity of demand for vegetables among SNAP participants is -0.6. Similarly, fruit cost on average $2.5 per lb and the demand elasticity for fruit is -0.8. How much should the state of Connecticut expect to pay in total subsidies each season if only 20% of SNAP participants will attend farmers markets?
