THE PROPERTY MANAGER AS ECONOMIST-PLANNER
After graduating from college with honors and a master's degree in eco-
nomics, Charles Gill was hired by the local urban renewal authority in his
home town of approximately 500,000 people. His responsibilities were in the
areas of statistics, financial planning, and research. When activities of the
urban renewal authority began to wind down upon completion of a major
downtown redevelopment project, one of the directors, a businessman who
had acquired some real estate investment property, hired Charles to manage
one of his residential rental properties.
The area's economy had slowed with the general downturn that occurred
throughout the country and severely depressed the price of real estate in
many areas, including property in Charles's town. In addition, a local defense
factory had closed, leaving hundreds out of work. Charles saw there were
suddenly many properties available that were priced far less than they had
sold for just a…

Jeff Spud from ‘Spud’s Farm’ is your client and is a medium sized potato farmer on the north-west coast of Tasmania.
You are asked to give him financial and business advice on how his business can survive the problems he is facing from powerful buyers of his produce and with competition from other local, interstate and overseas producers.
His previous contracts for his potato crop have been from McCain, a global company. Previously he was able to form a collective with other farmers in the region to negotiate the price to be paid by McCain per tonne. He understands there is some legal issue on negotiating price as a collective and requests advice on this.
Jeff has explained that he can produce 50 tonnes of potatoes per hectare and the contract price per tonne he has been given is $248. He has potentially 45 hectares of farm he can use for potatoes. He has provided you with the estimated fixed and variable costs for each farmed hectare.

ECON131: Quantitative Methods in Economics – Business and Finance Assignment The City of Sydney is an area covering over 26km2 and is one of Australia’s most important social and economic centres. As part of Sydney 2030, a study into the city’s long-term sustainability, the city council committed to reducing its carbon footprint 70% over the next 20 years. A study found that around 31% of the city’s carbon emissions arise from public lighting. So, in 2011, the City of Sydney announced a project to replace its lighting systems with energy efficient LED lights. It would choose lighting systems based on both their economic and environmental value. After a consultation period, the City chose a supplier in late 2011 to replace 6,448 luminaries (lights).Before the project, suppose that the 6,448 luminaries slated for replacement consumed 5,252,613 kWh of electricity annually. In 2010/11, the annual lighting bill was $654,476. Suppose that the new LED…
