Chapter 2, Problem 2P

Given below is a numbered list of cost terms. For each of the definition statements that follow, place the number of the cost term in the blank that makes the statement a correct definition. Each cost term is used only once. (2.1)

Numbered List of Cost Terms:

1. Recurring
2. Variable
3. Fixed
4. Sunk
5. Opportunity
6. Incremental
7. Direct
8. Nonrecurring
a. ______costs are those that have occurred in the past and have no relevance to estimates of future costs and revenues.
b. ______costs are incurred because of the use of limited resources such that the ability to use those resources to monetary advantage in another way is foregone.
c. ______costs are those which are unaffected by changes in activity level over a feasible range of operations for the capacity available.
d. _____costs, in total, change in relation to the quantity of output or other measures of activity level.
e. ______cost refers to the additional cost that will result from increasing the output of a system by one or more units.
f. ______costs are those that are repetitive and occur when goods or services are produced on a continuing basis.
g. ______costs can be reasonably measured and allocated to a specific output or work activity.
h. ______costs are not repetitive even though the total expenditure may be cumulative over a relatively short period of time.

2. Question The 'Democratic Family' consists of three members {mother m, father f, daughter d}, that have different preferences with respect to how much money X € [0,8] they think should be invested in the new family car. These preferences can be represented by the following utility functions: - Mother m: um(X) = 2X - X² Father f: uf(X) = 10X - X² - Daughter d: ud(X) = 4X - X² Calculate for each family member (f, m, d) the preferred amount of money to invest in the new car denoted by X; for i = {m, f,d}. Assume that (Xf, Xm, Xd) are the three alternatives on which the family must decide. Show that each family member has rational preferences over this domain. Preferences on the family level are determined by pairwise majority voting (all family members vote on two alternatives). Derive the family preference and check whether it is rational. Assume that the final family decision is made by conducting sequential pair- wise majority voting, where the loosing alternative is eliminated. Does…

3. Question You invented a new lateral-flow test for asymptomatic Covid-19 detection, where saliva is entered into a test-tube and then the result is shown directly on the device. However, to save on costly chemicals you designed the tests such that it always reports a negative test result. Assume that the incidence rate is 5 per 1000 and that your test is used for detection of asymptomatic cases (without symptoms). (a) Calculate the probability that 100 randomly determined volunteers receive a correct test result by using the AND-rule and the OR-rule. Can your test be qualified as a diagnostic test? (b) The health authorities are investigating the performance of your test. Government guidelines require a specificity (conditional probability to re- ceive a negative test result given that the test-taker is not infected with COVID19) of at least 97% and a sensitivity (conditional probability to receive a positive test result given that the test-taker is infected with COVID-19) of at…
