The Bainters want to compare the costs of renting a home to the costs of owning a home before considering the other factors. Keep in mind that the Bainters anticipate that they will live in the area for a minimum of 15 years. 1. How does the cost of renting for a year compare to the cost of owning for a year? 2. Does one option seem better than the other based on the cost estimates alone? Why? Your two answers should include • the estimated annual cost of owning a home (refer to the calculations that you wrote down previously for the project) • the estimated cost for renting after 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years • a comparison for each of the 4 time frames between the annual cost of renting versus owning your explanation of which option (renting or owning) seems better based only on the cost estimates, and why

If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.

With the extra profits generated from the new customers, Jacobi is considering expanding his product range. He is interested in stocking a new type of motorcycle headset camera. To fit with current business plans, the new product would have to generate a minimum of 37.5% margin to be worthwhile. With that in mind, he hypothesises that customers will be willing to pay at least $350 for this product, which is the minimum sale price for it to be viable at the specified margin. To test if his belief is true, Jacobi hires a market researcher (you) to determine how much customers may be willing to pay for this product. You collect data from a sample of 100 motorcycle enthusiasts, all of whom resemble Jacobi’s usual clientele, and determine that the average amount people are willing to pay is $364, with a standard deviation of $35.Using this information, you conduct a hypothesis test at a 5% level of significance to check whether Jacobi’s belief is justified and to help him decide whether to…

The snowboard industry has the following labour supply is ES = 150 + 10w and labour demand is ED = 350 – 10w, where E is the level of employment in 1,000s of workers and w is the hourly wage. If the labour market is competitive, then what is the equilibrium wage and employment? What is the unemployment rate? Let's pretend the government asks you to examine the impact of implementing a minimum hourly wage of $12. What would happen to the employment level?

Kathleen Taylor is a high school student who has been investigating the possibility of mowing lawns for a summer job. She has a couple of friends she thinks she could hire on an hourly basis per job. The equipment, including two new lawnmowers and weed-eaters, would cost her $500, and she estimates her cost per lawn, based on the time required to pay her friends to mow an average residential lawn (and not including her own labor) and gas for driving to the jobs and mowing, would be about $14. a) If she charges customers $30 per lawn, how many lawns would she need to mow to break even? b) Kathleen has 8 weeks available to mow lawns before school starts again, and she estimates that she can get enough customers to mow at least three lawns per day, 6 days per week. How much money can she expect to make over the summer? c) Kathleen believes she can get more business if she lowers her price per lawn. If she lowers her price to $25 per lawn and increases her number of jobs to four per day…
Suppose the chamber of commerce in Pinehurst, North Carolina decided to hold a professional golf tournament at the famous Pinehurst Country Club. They would probably be able to get a TV contract from a major network. The TV revenue would be about $4 million, and they would sell 60,000 tickets at $8 apiece. The fund for prizes would be 20% of their total revenue (TV plus tickets) rounded to the nearest $10,000. The prizes would be as follows (all prizes are rounded to the nearest dollar): First prize: 18% of the total prize money Second prize: 60% of the first prize Third prize: 65% of the second prize Fourth prize: 70% of the third prize Fifth prize: 75% of the fourth prize Sixth prize: 6% of the remaining prize money Seventh prize: $900 less than sixth prize Eighth prize: $900 less than seventh prize And so on, with each subsequent prize $900 less than the previous prize.
