Consider an airline’s decision about whether to cancel a particular flight that hasn’t sold out. The following table provides data on the total cost of operating a 100-seat plane for various numbers of passengers. Number of Passengers 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 Total Cost (Dollars per flight) 40,000, 60,000,65,000, 68,000,70,000, 71,000, 72,500, 73,500, 74,000, 74,300,74,500 Given the information presented in the previous table, the fixed cost to operate this flight is $ . At each ticket price, a different number of consumers will be willing to purchase tickets for this flight. Assume that the price of a flight is fixed for the duration of ticket sales. Use the previous table as well as the following demand schedule to complete the questions that follow. Price per ticket 1,000, 700, 400, 200 Quantity Demanded (Dollars per ticket) (Tickets per flight) 0, 30, 90, 100 Complete the following table by computing total revenue, total cost, variable cost, and profit for each…

- You are asked to investigate how immigrants in Canada perform over time. For simplicity, assume that all immigrants enter Canada at age 30. Using 2020 Canadian Census data, you estimate the average annual earnings by age among immigrants: $50,000 for those at age 30, $65,000 for those at age 40, and $80,000 for those at age 50. 1. Does your finding suggest assimilation-i.e., immigrants perform better as they spent longer time in the destination country? Why? (8 points) 2. Can you make a suggestion to improve the analysis, and how? (Note: You can suggest additional datasets.) (6 points) 3. Using the census data from both the U.S. and Canada, you find that U.S. has a higher level of income inequality compared with Canada.

Teachers typically choose jobs (or schools) based on salary, amenities, and school characteristics. In particular, one would reasonably ex- pect that high-crime school districts pay higher wages than low-crime school districts, because most teachers should prefer working in a safer environment. To test this hypothesis, you collect data on salaries, characteristics of teachers, and character- istics of schools and school districts for all teachers of public high schools in a typical U.S. city. You find that schools in high-crime districts tend to pay lower wages than schools in low-crime districts. Does the finding go against the theory of compensating wage differentials? Why? (Hint: The primary source of funding for teacher salaries of the city is local property taxes.) (15 points)arrow_forward
- Consider a mid-sized college town located about twenty miles outside of a major city. The residents can be categorized into 3 distinct groups of consumers - college students, professionals who work in the city, and retired people. Shopmart is the only supermarket in this college town and the manager has determined that there are 300 customers purchasing Colgate oral care products. Specifically, the manager has determined that there are 100 college students, 100 professionals, and 100 retirees purchasing Colgate's dental floss, toothpaste, and mouthwash. The manager is also aware that consumers willingness to pay varies across group and whether the products are sold separately or as a bundle. The table below provides each group's valuation on dental floss, toothpaste, and mouthwash.
