In the economic analysis of supply and/or demand the variables of interest are not X and Y but instead Price (P) and Quantity (Q). By convention P is always the vertical axis and Q is the horizontal axis. Below are algebraic representations of supply or demand functions. Graph each separately and beside your graph, list the Y-intercept and slope of each (and whether is a supply or demand equation) 3. a. P- 500-100 b. 70Q+7P# 3500 John has decided to...
John spends all his money on his car and clothes. Every month he has $1000 to spend, and each time he takes the car to the garage, it costs him $200, while each article of clothing he buys costs him $250. What is the opportunity cost of one car trip to the garage? Briefly show your math. In the space below, draw John’s budget constraint, making sure to label every axis, line, intercept, and slope. John’s grandmother gave him a...
Suppose a consumer has budget of $120 per week to spend on food. Consumer can choose to eat at restaurants (R), in which case he spends about $20 per meal (P $20), or spend his money on All-Other-Food (PAOP $1) 2. a. Ilustrate consumer's budget line. Plot R on the horizontal axis. b. If consumer's utility function is U-R AOF, what will be his optimal bundle? What would be the value of his utility at optimal bundle? How much money...
2. John has a $500 monthly budget for meals (M) and books (B). The price of meal is $10, and the price of a book is $100. Use a separate graph for each part below and plot meals on the horizontal axis and books on the vertical axis. Label all axes, intercepts and possible kink points, and treat each case separately. a. Draw John’s budget constraint for meals and books. (5 points) b. Draw John’s budget constraint if now his...

1. Sketch indifference curves for each of the following consumers for a day’s worth of coffee and food, and describe why the indifference curves take the shape they do. Draw the indifference curves as how they would look if the drank a range of 0 to 4 cups. a. Ron treats coffee and food as ordinary goods, but is neutral to coffee beyond 3 cups. b. For Gareth, food is always an ordinary good where more is better; however, coffee...

2. Consider the following four consumers (C1,C2,C3,C4) with the following utility functions: Consumer Utility Function C1 u(x,y) = 2x+2y C2 u(x,y) = x^3/4y^1/4 C3 u(x,y) = min(x,y) C4 u(x,y) = min(4x,3y) On the appropriate graph, draw each consumer’s indifference curves through the following points: (2,2), (4,4), (6,6) and (8,8), AND label the utility level of each curve. Hint: Each grid should have 4 curves on it representing the same preferences but with different utility levels. 3. In the following parts,...
Activity-Based Costing, Distorted Product Costs Sharp Paper Inc. has three paper mills, one of which is located in Memphis, Tennessee. The Memphis mill produces 300 different types of coated and uncoated specialty printing papers. Management was convinced that the value of the large variety of products more than offset the extra costs of the increased complexity. During 20X1, the Memphis mill produced 120,000 tons of coated paper and 80,000 tons of uncoated paper. Of the 200,000 tons produced, 180,000 were...
