magine a circular city with a circumference of 50 miles. A total of 500 people live around the city, all of whom are evenly spaced. It costs any person 10 cents per mile to travel. Every one of these people needs to have exactly one meal prepared. The cost of preparing meals is given by C(g) = 10 + 0.5q where q is the number of meals prepared at any restaurant. (Hint: Define one unit of distance as 50 miles if that makes the problem easier.) a.If you were interested in the efficient way to feed the population, how many restaurants would you build? Show work and explain b.If the market determines the number ofrestaurants, and the result is firms that make zero economic profit, how many firms will there be? Show work and explain C. In what sense is this model one of monopolistic competition?

Oregon Fiber Board makes roof liners for the automotiveindustry. The manufacturing manager is concerned aboutproduct quality. She suspects that one particular failure, tears in the fabric, is related to production-run size. An assistantgathers the following data from production records: a. Draw a scatter diagram for these data.b. Does there appear to be a relationship between run sizeand percent failures? What implications does this datahave for Oregon Fiber Board’s business?

The O’Neill Shoe Manufacturing Company will produce a special-style shoe if the ordersize is large enough to provide a reasonable profit. For each special-style order, the company incurs a fixed cost of $2000 for the production setup. The variable cost is $60 per pair, and each pair sells for $80.a. Let x indicate the number of pairs of shoes produced. Develop a mathematical modelfor the total cost of producing x pairs of shoes.b. Let P indicate the total profit. Develop a mathematical model for the total profit realized from an order for x pairs of shoes.c. What is the breakeven point?
From a certain place K, 2000 people set off for work in the distant place S in the morning by car. Each of the drivers must decide whether to come to place S via point G or via point D (see the directed graph below). The travel time on segments G-S and K-D is not dependent on the number of drivers: each driver traverses the G-S segment in 60 minutes, and the K-D segment in 45 minutes, regardless of the number of drivers. However, the travel time on segments K-G and D-S depends on the number of drivers: if x drivers travel on the K-G segment, each driver on this segment consumes 0.005x minutes; if x drivers travel on the D-S segment, each driver on this segment consumes 0.01x minutes (see the directed graph below). Assume that all people start simultaneously and do not know the decisions of other people. Find all pure Nash equilibria of the game.
Mathematical processes can lead to a kind of model of a thing, from which insights can be gained about the thing itself. Any mathematical relationships arrived at by manipulating abstract statements may or may not convey something truthful about the thing being modelled. (For example, if 2 cups of water are added to 3 cups of water and the abstract mathematical operation 2+3 = 5 is used to calculate the total, the correct answer is 5 cups of water. However, if 2 cups of sugar are added to 3 cups of hot tea and the same operation is used, 5 is an incorrect answer.)
