- Ewa spends all her 600 PLN bonus on the purchase of sweets and cosmetics. Draw the Ewa's budget line, knowing that her favorite sweets cost PLN 10 per pack and the price of cosmetics is PLN 25. •How will Ewa's situation be affected by the PLN 50 bonus increase? •What will happen if the price of cosmetics increases to PLN 30? •How, from the point of view of initial situation, we will evaluate the following quantitative combinations: –30 packages of sweets and 15 cosmetics –60 packages of sweets and 24 cosmetics –20 packages of sweets and 10 cosmetics –10 packages of sweets and 15 cosmeticsJason Stilton is the chief executive officer of RightLiving a company that buys life insurance policies at a discount from terminally ill persons and sells the policies to investors for 85% of the value of the future benefit. The patients recieve the cash to use for medical and other expenses and the investors are guaranteed a positive return on thier investment. The diffreance between the purchace and sale prices is the RightLivinf Profit. Stilton is aware that some sick patients may obtain insurance policies through fraud (Not revealing thier illness on the insurance application). An insurance company that discovers such will cancel the policy and refuse to pay. Stilton beleives that most of the policies he has purchased are legitimate, but he knows some are probably not. Question Using IDDR approch, discuss the decision process Stilton should use in deciding whether to disclose the risk of fraudulent policies to potential investors.Question 2Consider the case of Jonathan, who is a singlefather with one child.

- (a) Dividing MUX and MUY by their respective prices compute the weighted marginal utility or marginal utility of money expenditure and draw up Table 2 showing diminishing returns for the consumption of the 6 units? (b) Briefly state what you can infer on this equation; MUX/PX = MUY/PY as far as equi marginal principle and managerial economics is concerned? C)Given that MUX/PX and MUY/PY are equal to 6 when 5 units of X and 3 units of Y are purchased. By purchasing these combinations of X and Y, calculate the amount the consumer will spend and derive the maximum satisfaction from combination of these units. (d) Applying the above principle illustrate in terms of a figure, and draw marginal utility curves for goods X and Y. You need to use marginal utility and price i.e. Marginal utility per Kwacha spent on good X = MUX/PX, and that of Y = MUY/PY. The MUX/PX curve should be shown in figure (a) while the MUY/PY curve should be shown in Fig (b). Please do not draw negative…Co. XYZ manufactures a productand sells it for $8 per unit.

- Question Recently, the owner of KFC Franchise decided to change how she compensated hertop manager. Last year, the manager received a fixed salary of GHC50,000 and KFCmade GHC110,000 in profits (excluding the manager’s compensation). She fearedthat her store’s performance was connected to the top manager shirking on the joband expected that changes to her top manager’s compensation structure wouldimprove sales. Therefore, this year she decided to offer him a fixed salary of $40,000plus 5 percent of the store’s profit. Since the change, the store is performing muchbetter, and she forecasts profits this year to be $300,000 (again, excluding themanager’s compensation). Assuming the change of compensation is the reason for the increased profits, and the forecast is accurate, how much more money will theowner make (net of payment to her top manager) because of this change?Does the manager make more money under the new payment scheme?Suppose a new employer is also relocatingto Lampard City and will be attractingmany new people who will want to buynew houses.

- In today’s economy, it’s harder for workers to get promoted. In 2006, it took an averageof 2 ½ years to get a promotion; today it takes 4 ½ years. As a result, fewer workers are willingto boost their productivity in an effort to impress the boss and get the promotion. In 2006, 25percent of employees said they were willing to give “an extra oomph” at work (boost theirproductivity); today about 15 percent are willing to do so. Explain the connection to the Phillipscurve.Suppose the marginal revenue from search isMR = 50 - 1.5wwhere w is the wage offer at hand. The marginal cost of search isMC = 5 + wa. Why is the marginal revenue from search a negative function of the wage offer at hand?b. Can you give an economic interpretation of the intercept in the marginal cost equation; in other words, what does it mean to say that the intercept equals $5? Similarly, what does it mean to say that the slope in the marginal cost equation equals one dollar?c. What is the worker’s asking wage? Will a worker accept a job offer of $15?d. Suppose UI benefits are reduced, causing the marginal cost of search to increase to MC = 20 + w. What is the new asking wage? Will the worker accept a job offer of $15?According to the Wall Street Journal, Mitsubishi Motors recently announced a major restructuringplan in an attempt to reverse declining global sales. Suppose that as part of the restructuring planMitsubishi conducts an analysis of how labour and capital are used in its production process. Priorto restructuring Mitsubishi’s marginal rate of technical substitution is 0.15 ( in absolute value). Tohire workers. Suppose that Mitsubishi must pay the competitive hourly wage of US$ 15. In thestudy of production process and markets where capital is procured, suppose that Mitsubishidetermine that its marginal productivity of capital is 0.5 small cars per hour at its new targetedlevel of output and that capital is procured in a highly competitive market. The same studyindicates that the average selling price of Mitsubishi’s smallest car is US$ 9500. Determine therate at which Mitsubishi can rent capital and marginal productivity of labour at its new targetedlevel of output. To minimize costs…
