What life insurance option has a lower premium, is only life insurance, and purchased for a specific period of time. (10, 15, 20 years)
Seven years ago, you started a crosstown delivery service. The service is an environmentally friendly business and, given all the traffic congestion, you are also the fastest service in the city since your entire crew are bicyclists. You have two types of
service. You have a small parcel service for anything that is flat and measures less than 11x17. You have a package service using a 100 lb. capacity bike trailer for anything weighing up to 10 Ibs. As a way to introduce the new package service when
you implemented the small package service, you charged the same price for packages as parcels. You are now wondering if you should charge different prices for the parcel and package service.

- Shin likes to spend a (relatively small) portion of his income on vacations to Cabo San Lucas (a popular resort area in Mexico). On these trips, he either stays at a four-star resort with panoramic ocean views or a more modest, and slightly deteriorating hotel in the noisy part of town. Understandably, the four-star hotel is significantly more expensive. Suppose that the four-star hotel costs $5000/trip while the hotel costs just $500/trip. In recent years, the price of airfare has risen significantly, a change that affects the cost of his trips the same regardless of where he stays. Suppose that airfare has increased from $300/trip to $1000/trip. Why is it that following the higher travel prices, Shin is likely to spend more of his vacations at the four-star resort when he travels? (Assume that the hotel rates and Shin's preferences are fixed).arrow_forwardA restaurant sells pizza at a rate of $14.69/slice.
