According to the Wall Street Journal, Mitsubishi Motors recently announced a major restructuring plan in an attempt to reverse declining global sales. Suppose that as part of the restructuring planMitsubishi conducts an analysis of how labour and capital are used in its production process. Prior to restructuring Mitsubishi’s marginal rate of technical substitution is 0.15 ( in absolute value). To hire workers. Suppose that Mitsubishi must pay the competitive hourly wage of US$ 15. In thestudy of production process and markets where capital is procured, suppose that Mitsubishi determine that its marginal productivity of capital is 0.5 small cars per hour at its new targeted level of output and that capital is procured in a highly competitive market. The same study indicates that the average selling price of Mitsubishi’s smallest car is US$ 9500. Determine the rate at which Mitsubishi can rent capital and marginal productivity of labour at its new targeted level of output. To minimize…
During the past major recession, upscale hotels in the United States recently cut their prices by 25 percent in an effort to bolster dwindling occupancy rates among business travelers. A survey performed by a major research organization indicated that businesses were becoming wary of bad economic conditions and began resorting to electronic media, such as the Internet and the telephone, to transact business. Assume a company’s budget permits it to spend $6,000 per month on either business travel or electronic media to transact business. Graphically illustrate how a 25 percent decline in the price of business travel would impact this company’s budget set if the price of business travel was initially $1,200 per trip and the price of electronic media was $600 per hour. Suppose that, after the price of business travel drops, the company issues a report indicating that its marginal rate of substitution between electronic media and business travel is −1. Is the company allocating resources…
Suppose you are the manager of a California winery. How would you expect the following events to affect the price you receive for a bottle of wine? The price of comparable French wines decreases. One hundred new wineries open in California. The unemployment rate in the United States decreases. The price of cheese increases. The price of a glass bottle increases significantly due to new government antishatter regulations. Researchers discover a new wine-making technology that reduces production costs. The price of wine vinegar, which is made from the leftover grape mash, increases. The average age of consumers increases, and older people drink less wine.

Suppose that as part of the restructuring plan Mitsubishi conducts an analysis of how labor and capital are used in its production process. Prior to restructuring Mitsubishi’s marginal rate of technical substitution is 0.12 (in absolute value). To hire workers, suppose that Mitsubishi must pay the competitive hourly wage of ¥1,800. In the study of its production process and markets where capital is procured, suppose that Mitsubishi determines that its marginal productivity of capital is 0.8 small cars per hour at its new targeted level of output and that capital is procured in a highly competitive market. The same study indicates that the average selling price of Mitsubishi’s smallest car is ¥1,200,000.

The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Big Winner Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Initial Value Average American household income $50,000 per year Roundtrip airfare from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS) $250 per roundtrip Room rate at the Lucky Hotel and Casino, which is near the Big Winner $200 per night Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.
In 2011, Kevin Jones, Texas Tigers quarterback, agreed to an eight-year, $50 million contract that at the time made him the highest-paid player in professional football history. The contract included a signing bonus of $11 million and called for annual salaries of $2.5 million in 2011, $1.75 million in 2012, $4.15 million in 2013, $4.90 million in 2014, $5.25 million in 2015, $6.2 million in 2016, $6.75 million in 2017, and $7.5 million in 2018. The $11 million signing bonus was prorated over the course of the contract so that an additional $1.375 million was paid each year over the eight-year contract period. With the salary paid at the beginning of each season, what is the worth of his contract at an interest rate of 6%?
