Runner Electronics manufactures portable power supply units. Runner has recently decided to use an activity-based approach to cost its products. Production line setups is a major activity at Runner. Next year Runner expects to perform 1,990 setups at a total cost of $2,507,400. Runner plans to produce 700 units of product EP150, which will require 2 setups. How much setup cost will be allocated to each unit of EP150 produced? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

2) Assume that utility is given by Utility-U(X,Y)-X03yo7 a) Calculate the ordinary demand functions, indirect utility function, and expenditure function. b) Use the expenditure function calculated in part (a) together with Shephard's lemma to compute the compensated demand function for good X. Use the results from part (b) together with the ordinary demand function for good X to show that the Slutsky equation holds for this case. c) d) Prove that the expenditure function calculated in part (a) is homogeneous...
Question 21 (1 point) Recently, the Chinese government has acknowledged that its GDP growth rate for 2015 will fall to 7%, which is substantially below China's recent annual growth rates, including that for 2014 (Wall Street Journal, March 5, 2015).
