How would the price of the bond be affected by changing the going market interest rate? (Hint: Conduct a sensitivity analysis of price to changes in the going market interest rate for the bond. Assume that the bond will be called if and only if the going rate of interest falls below the coupon rate. That is an oversimplification, but assume it anyway for purposes of this problem.)
"The non-liner transformation of the vNM expected utility function fails to reflect the underlying preference relation." Explain the above statement.
Demand for Orange Juice is given as Qd = 5000 – 2500 P + 1200 I + 650E – 255 Ps Suppose Income is I = Rs.500, Expectations E = 55, and Price of Ps = Rs 25. Find the Demand Equation. Using the demand function from part a., Calculate Elasticity of Demand for price range of Rs.125 and Rs.155. What will be the ‘Price Elasticity of Demand’ at P = Rs.125? Interpret the Elasticity of Demand calculated in (C) above.
Demand for Orange Juice is given as Qd = 200 – 300 P + 120 I + 65 T – 250 Pc + 400 Ps Suppose Income is I = $10, Expectations T = 60, Price of Pc = $15 and Ps = $10. Find the Demand Equation. Using the demand function from part a., Calculate Elasticity of Demand for price range of $10 and $11. What will be the ‘Price Elasticity of Demand’ at P = $10? Interpret the Elasticity of Demand calculated in (C) above.
As a manager of a small software retailing company, you are concerned with projected profit next year. While profit can be determined as the difference between sales and maintenance cost, or in symbols, P = S - M, where P is profit, S is sales, and M is maintenance cost including technical support. It is argues that when sales goes up so does maintenance cost because the cost of technical support will go up. Further, it is measured that the correlation between S and M is 0.8. Now given the figure that sales next year is expected to be $300 thousand with standard deviation of $4 thousand and maintenance cost is expected to be $150 thousand with standard deviation of $6 thousand, what would be the expected profit and its standard deviation you will include in your report?
The manager of a hockey arena is pricing tickets for an upcoming game. She knows that if she increases the ticket price she will sell fewer tickets. The situation is modelled by the relation, R = -88.9p^2 + 2667p, where R is the total revenue and p is the ticket price, both in dollars. The graph is given.

A parent has two children named A and B and she loves both of them equally. She has a total of Php 1,000 to give them. How much will she give to each child given the different utility functions: a) U(a,b)= √a+√b b) U(a,b)=(−1/a) - (-1/b) c) U(a,b)=log(a)+log(b) d) U(a,b)=max(a,b) e) U(a,b)=min(a,b)
EXPECTED UTILITY THEORY • Goal utility and goal difficulty are combined to determine goal selection according to expected utility theory according to this theory, the goal that is selected is based on its utility and estimated probability of being achieved. Utility refers to the usefulness of the goal in providing satisfaction or happiness • Expected utility = Utility × subjective probability . Question- Explain what you understand from this theory above and give an example of how it can be useful .
John and Peter are two representative consumers/investors who maximize the utility of consumption. John's utility of consumption is characterized as ln(x) + 2ln(y) while Peter puts more weight on the current consumption level and has a utility function of 2ln(x) + ln(y). John has a wealth of ($10, $20) thousand, while Peter has a wealth of ($20, $15) thousand now and next year, respectively. (a) What are the optimal consumption plans forJohn and Peter,respectively,if the interest rate is 5% per annum? (b) If John and Peter are the only investors/consumers, what is the equilibrium interest rate? (c) Further to part (b), how much do they borrow or lend to each other?
Question Management of AG Travel and Tour has identified two groups of individuals thatwould be interested in the vacation package consisting of room and board and/orentertainment. The maximum amount that group 1 is willing to pay for room andboard is GHC 2500 and for entertainment is GHC 500. For group 2, the maximumamount they are willing to pay for room and board is GHC 1800 and forentertainment is GHC 750. Although AG Travel and Tour is not able to identifymembers of either group, it does know that each group values the components ofthe package differently. Assuming there are an equal number of members in eachgroup and that the total membership in each group is a single individual. If themarginal cost of providing the service (room and board and/or entertainment) toeach group is GHC 1000. i. How much will the hotel charge members of each group for the vacationpackage if it could identify the members in each group?ii. How much will the profit for AG Travel and Tour be? iii. Since AG…
an entrepreneur is setting up a storage facility which will provide storage bothat peak times and off peak times.The entrepreneur need to decide how much money storage Q1 t to supply at peak times, and how much storage Q2 to supply off peakit also needs to decide how to set up capacity K, where capacity is such that both K is equal or plus Q1 and K is equal or plus Q2The peak period demand fan storage is given by PI=7200 -Q1 and the off peak is give by P2=5400 -Q2 where P1 and P2 are the prices for units of storage at peak times and off peak respectively.the variable cost is 200 per unit of storage supplied and capacity costs are 100 per unit. Hence profits fpr the entrepreneurs are given by:(7200-Q1) Q1+ (5400-Q2) Q2 - 200 (Q1+Q2)-100 K where Q1 is less or equal K and Q2 is less or equal Ka) write down the Kuhn-Tucken conditions for this proble. b) Find the optimal outputs and capacity for this problemc) now suppose there is a substancial increqse in capacity costs, which rise to 2000…
