Willie Lohmann travels from city to city for busi- ness. Every other year he buys a used car for about $15,000. The dealer allows about $8000 as a trade-in allowance, so Willie spends $7000 every other year for a car. Willie keeps accurate records of his expenses, which total 32.3¢ per mile. Willie's employer has two plans to reimburse car expenses: A. Actual expenses: Willie will receive all his oper- ating expenses, and $3500 each year for the car's decline in value. B. Standard mileage rate: Willie will receive 56.5¢ per mile but no operating expenses and no depre- ciation allowance. If Willie travels 18,000 miles per year, which method gives him the larger reimbursement? At what annual mileage do the two methods give the same reimbursement?

A local insurance company offers both home and auto insurance to four types of customers with the reservation prices listed in the figure below. Assume for simplicity that there is only one consumer of each type. Home Auto Bundle Customer A $90 $67 $157 Customer B Customer C Customer D $117 $87 $204 $103 $77 $180 $83 $52 $135 If the firm were to sell home and auto insurance separately, it would charge $83 for home insurance, $52 for auto insurance, and earn a combined revenue of $540. Determine the revenue the firm would receive if it used a pure bundle. Comparing the revenue of the pure bundle to the revenue of selling home and auto insurance separately, we can conclude that the reservation prices of the consumers must: O A. have no correlation B. be positively correlated C. be negatively correlated D. be serially correlated
Pompeii's Pizza has a delivery car that it uses for pizza deliveries. The transmission needs to be replaced and there are several other repairs that need to be done. The car is nearing the end of its life, so the options are to either overhaul the car or replace it with a new car. Pompeii's has put together the following budgetary items: Present Car New Car Purchase cost new $32,000 Transmission and other repairs $8,000 Annual cash operating cost 13,000 11,000 Fair market value now 5,000 Fair market value in five years 500 5,000 If Pompeii's replaces the transmission of the pizza delivery vehicle, they expect to be able to use the vehicle for another 5 years. If they sell the old vehicle and purchase a new vehicle, they will use that vehicle for 5 years and then trade it in for another new pizza delivery vehicle. If they trade for the new delivery vehicle, their operating expenses will decrease because the new vehicle is more gas efficient and the maintenance on a new car is less. This…
