Suppose the utility function for goods x and y is given by U(x,y) = xy + y 4.1. Calculate the uncompensated (Marshallian) demand functions for x and y and describe how the demand curves for x and y are shifted by changes in I or the price of the other good. 4.2. Calculate the expenditure function for x and y. 4.3. Use the expenditure function calculated in (4.2) to compute the compensated demand functions for goods x and y. Describe how the compensated demand curves for x and y are shifted by changes in income or by changes in the price of the other good.

You manage a production line that operates using a monthly production cycle. There are five different products that could be made this month. However, you only have 500 hours of line capacity, so you must be careful which products you select to make in the production cycle. Making a product incurs two types of setup costs: (1) a material “tear down” cost (measured in dollars) and (2) downtime for line preparation (measured in hours). Any quantity up to the forecasted monthly demand can be sold. Additional production details are given in the table below: Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 Product 4 Product 5 Monthly Demand 1000 units 1100 units 1700 units 1600 units 1500 units Revenue (per unit) $150 $175 $155 $200 $225 Production Cost (per unit) $60 $70 $60 $100 $110 Set Up Cost $10000 $15000 $25000 $10000 $5000 Set Up Time 25 hrs 15 hrs 0 hrs 10 hrs 30 hrs Production Time (per unit) .1 hrs .12…
14. For a company operating at full capacity, break-even point per unit of limited resource is useful for calculating break-even prices. a. True b. False 15. Breakeven prices per unit for a firm operating at capacity are determined by adding BE point per unit of limited resource x amount of limited resource for the product line to variable cost per unit for the product line (BE $ per unit of limited resource + variable cost per unit). a. b. True False
North Dakota Electric Company estimates its demand trend line (in millions of kilowatt hours) to be: D = 80.0 + 0.43Q, where Q refers to the sequential quarter number and Q = 1 for winter of Year 1. In addition, the multiplicative seasonal factors are as follows: Quarter Factor (Index) Winter 0.80 Spring 1.25 Summer 1.45 Fall 0.50 In year 26 (quarters 101-104), the energy use for each of the quarters beginning with winter is (round your response to one decimal place): Quarter Energy Use Winter 98.798.7 Spring nothing

Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax on the buyers of instant noodles. Does it necessarily mean that the buyers have to bear the entire tax burden? Explain with a diagram. With the above diagram, explain the impact of the per-unit tax on the consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus.
A company manufactures a single product. Budget and standard costs details for the next year include; selling price per unit; $24 variable production cost per unit; $8.60 fixed production cost; $650,000 fixed selling and distribution costs; $230,400 sales commission 5% of selling price sales 90,000 units REQUIRED Calculate the break-even point in units Calculate the percentage by which the budgeted sales can fall before the company begins to make a loss. The Marketing Manager has suggested that the selling price per unit can be increased to $25 if the sales commission is increased to 8% of selling price and a further $10,000 is spent on advertising. calculate the revised break-even point based on the marketing manager's suggestion
Product K was introduced to the market some time ago and is now about to enter the maturity stage of its life cycle. The maturity stage is expected to last for ten weeks. Each unit has a variable cost of $38 and takes one standard hour to produce.The Managing Director is unsure which of four possible prices the company should charge during the next ten weeks. The following table shows the results of some market research into the level of weekly demand at alternative prices:Selling price per unit ($) 100 85 80 75Weekly demand (units) 600 800 1,200 1,400REQUIREDWhich one of the four selling prices should be charged for Product K in order to maximize its contribution during its maturity stage?
Struggling with answering this question A manufacturer produces three types of humidifiers. The retail price of Humidifier Regular (HR) is $60 with variable costs of $20. Humidifier Advanced (HA) sells for $200 for its advanced features. This model’s variable costs are $80. Humidifier Simple (HS) is a simplified version and only sells for $25 with variable costs of $15. The manufacturer has machines and facilities worth $320,000 annually. The sales data show that 1000 units of HR, 2000 units of HA, and 10,000 units of HS was sold last year. Calculate the break-even point of the firm. The firm has some idle capacity at these volumes and chooses to cut the selling price of HR from $60 to $45, believing that its sales volume will rise from 1000 units to 2500 units. What is the revised break-even point?
