It is known that the ABC oil company supplies consumers with 150 tons of products per day. The company produces only two types of products - gasoline and diesel fuel. The limiting transformation ratio of diesel fuel relative to gasoline is 0.5. a) Draw a line of the company's monthly production capacity for gasoline and diesel. b) With the advent of new technologies, production increased by 20%, and the availability of gasoline increased by 30%. Explain how the company's new product line differs from the previous one. c) If we put the gasoline production on the X-axis of the graph, what percentage of the slope capacity of the production line is different from the slope ratio of the previous production line?
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is and . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $3,900. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 370 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $13. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is . Because the estimated benefit is than the cost, the college administrators undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of the benefit of the beautification…

(Econmetrics) Q.1 How can you test for general misspecification of model if it would have only (any of) two independent variables?
The model initial setup is• The number of vacancies posted in the economy during a particular month is v = 100.• There were initially u = 225 unemployed workers at the beginning of the month.• Suppose that the average wage is 0.6 relative to their productivity. Unemployed workersreceive benefits that are half the wage, i.e., b = 0.3 relative to productivity.• Suppose that the number of matches between firms and workers are given by thefollowing matching functionsM = Au^0.5v^0.5• Suppose that 45 workers were able to find a job by the end of the month.Answer the following questions.a) What is the monthly job finding rate?b) What is the probability that an average vacancy is filled in a month?c) What is the job creation cost, k?d) What is the value of A?e) Explain how introducing a searching cost to this model would affect the queue length,the number of vacancy and unemployment rate, and wage.

A printer manufacturer estimates that the average purchaser of a printer will also purchase six ink refills over the lifetime of the printer. The relevant data are: Printer: price: $400, margin: $100 Refills: price: $40, margin: $30 The manufacturer is considering increasing the price of printers by 10% to $440. What volume decrease in the sales of printers is the stay-even sales change for the firm? (Ignore the issue of discounting the value of future ink refill sales. Imagine, for example, that all six are purchased upfront with the printer). A. 11.5% B. 12.5% C. 13.5% D. 14.5% Use = % Q = (Pold - Cold)/(Pnew - Cold) - 1
