Suppose a group of consumers spend 30% of their disposable income on food, 20% on
clothing, and 50% on rent. If over the course of a year the price of food rises 10%, the price
of clothing drops 5% and rent rises 15%, what is the average price increase experienced by
these consumers?

3. Tamir has recently begun a new job of selling custom bracelets! Tamir's sales have been growing every
week and now he is looking to analyze his profit. Specifically, Tamir is looking to find how much his cost
of goods is for his business of selling bracelets. Luckily, Tamir sells each bracelet for the same price and
has recorded that when he sold 4 bracelets he made a $39 profit, when he sold 9 bracelets he made a
$94 profit.
a. Write an equation in point slope form that could model this scenario.
b. Which of the following could be the graph of Tamir's profit? Explain how you know.

- Demand for stereo headphones and MP3 players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year. The number of joggers continues to expand, so Nina expects demand for headsets to also expand, because, as yet, no safety laws have been passed to prevent joggers from wearing them. Demand for the players for this year was as follows: MONTH DEMAND (UNITS) January 4,200 February 4,300 March 4,000 April 4,400 May 5,000 June 4,700 July 5,300 August 4,900 September 5,400 October 5,700 November 6,300 December 6,000 Using linear regression analysis, what would you estimate demand to be for each month next year? Using a spreadsheet, follow the general format in Exhibit 3.7. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

The equilibrium wage is $10 per hour, and the equilibrium number of research assistants is 200. Suppose the government has decided to institute a $2-per-hour payroll tax on research assistants and is trying to determine whether the tax should be levied on the employer, the workers, or both (such that half the tax is collected from each side). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded.

The manufacturing manager wants to develop a sales and operations plan for the next year based on the following demand and capacity data (in hundreds of product units): Undertime is unpaid, and no cost is associated with unused overtime or subcontractor capacity. Producing one air conditioning unit on regular time costs $1,000, including $300 for labor. Producing a unit on overtime costs $1,150. A subcontractor can produce a unit to Arctic Air specifications for $1,250. Holding an air conditioner in stock costs $60 for each 2-month period, and 200 air conditioners are currently in stock. The plan calls for 400 units to be in stock at the end of period 6. No backorders are allowed. Use the transportation method to develop a plan that minimizes costs.arrow_forward
- 2. A group of medical professionals is considering the construction of a private clinic. If the medical demand is high (i.e., there is a favorable market for the clinic), the physicians could realize a net profit of $100,000. If the market is not favorable, they could lose $40,000. Of course, they don't have to proceed at all, in which case there is no cost. In the absence of any market data, the physicians' best guess is that there is a 50-50 chance the clinic will be successful. a. Construct a decision tree to help analyze this problem. b. What should the medical professionals do?arrow_forward2. Refer to the diagram. A price of $20 in this market will result in: Supply a. Equilibrium $60 b. A shortage of 50 units C. A surplus of 50 units 40 d. A shortage of 100 units 20 e. A surplus of 100 units Demand 50 100 150 200 Quantity Pricearrow_forwardA manager of inventory systems believes that inventory models are important decision- making tools. The manager often uses an Economic Order Quantity policy, but has never considered a backorder model, because the company has always treated backorders as a bad practice to be avoided. However, with upper management's continued pressure to cut costs, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a backorder policy for some products. A specific product has annual demand of 800 units, an order cost of $150/order, an annual holding cost of $3/item, and a backorder cost of $20/item. Your task it to determine the annual savings, when compared with an EOQ model, that backorders would allow. Assume 250 working days per year.arrow_forward
