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.

Question Seven There are specific applications of the hidden-action or moral hazard model. Consider employment contracts signed between a firm's owners and a manager who runs the firm on behalf of the owners. The manager is offered an employment contract which they can accept and decide how much effort, e ≥ 0, to exert. Suppose that an increase in effort, e, increases the firm's gross profit, not including payments to the manager, but is personally costly to the manager and the firm's gross profit, Пg, takes the following form: Пg = e +ε, ε~N(0,2). Let s denote the salary, which may depend on effort and/or gross profit, depending on what the owner can observe, offered as part of the contract between the owner and manager. Suppose that the manager is risk averse and has a utility function with respect to salary of the form: Aσ² U(W)=μ- 2 a) Derive the optimal result of the owner's expected net profit where there is full information and state what it implies. b) Suppose now that the…

1. The IS/MP model assumes that the Fed sets the real interest rate at a given level Rt. Suppose the Fed adopts a monetary policy rule that instructs it how to change the real interest rate in response to short-run output. Let's call this a monetary policy rule (MPR): The parameter x is positive. Rt=+xY a) Redraw the IS/MP diagram replacing the MP curve with the MPR curve. Show how an aggregate demand shock affects output and interest rates in the short run. Use the IS and MPR equations to solve for the changes in output and the real interest rate. b) How does the change in a affect investment in the IS/MPR model? Explain how a tax cut affects short-run output and investment in this version of the short-run model. The effect on investment is called crowding out. c) Add the Phillips curve to complete the short-run model. Illustrate how the Fed's choice of large it makes reveals its trade off between inflation and output in the short run.
