- HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?1) a) Solve the following inequalities:(i) 5(11 − ?) < ? + 49 (ii) 7? − 3 <10m + 23< 8 − 5m (iii) ?2 ≥ 15 − 2? b) The cost structure for iPhones are as follows, fixed cost of $25 and variable cost perunit of $2. The associated demand function isp = 20 − q .(i) Obtain an expression for the profit, π(q). (ii) Find the range of output which gives a profit of at least $31. c) Use Microsoft Word or Excel to solve the system of linear inequalities:r + 5t ≤ 57t – 2r ≤ 4 r ≥ 0(NB: clearly identify the solution set by placing a BIG enough ‘S’ to coverthat entire region).A toy manufacturer makes miniature trucks.

- A firm has a linear demand function for its product. When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.In the accompanying diagranm, whach phase of the buniness cyde would be most cosoly asocated with an econome conacton O A.
