What is the relationship between information and decisions... bad or good? Think of fun dates versus bad dates, divorces, stock purchases, etc. Acquisition of information is a real cost! Economists call such costs "transaction costs."

Draw a neatly labelled LRAC curve with at least 3 SRAC curves contained within it and explain how LRAC is used as an output planning mechanism for how much a firm should produce.

1. For the table shown, answer the following questions:

1. What is the marginal propensity to consume for households in this economy?
2. Based on the assumptions of our aggregate expenditure model, fill in the columns for planned investment, government spending, and net exports. What is this type of expenditure called?
3. For each level of actual aggregate expenditure, calculate unplanned inventory investment.
4. What is the equilibrium level of aggregate expenditure in this economy? How do you know?
5. For each level of actual aggregate expenditure, label the future output tendency as “increase,” “decrease,” or “same” based on what you expect to happen to future output. What relationship does this categorization have to your answer in part d?

1. For the table shown, answer the following questions:

a) Change the right-hand-side value of one of the constraints. Be sure that, the updated
tableau is infeasible, and you are applying Dual Simplex Method. (Find a change that will
make the new tableau infeasible.)
b) Change the objective function coefficient of one of the decision variables. Be sure that,
the updated tableau is non-optimal, and you are applying Simplex Method. (Find a
change that will make the new tableau non-optimal.)
c) Find the validity range for one of the constraint’s right-hand-side value.
d) Find the optimality range for one of the decision variable’s objective function coefficient.
e) Add a new ≥ constraint into the model. Be sure that, the new constraint is not satisfied by
the current optimal solution and you are applying Dual Simplex Method. (Add a ≥
constraint that will make the new tableau infeasible.)
f) Add a new decision variable into the model. Be sure that, the new tableau is non-optimal,
and you are applying Simplex Method. (Add a new decision variable that will make the
new tableau non-optimal.)

Based on Metabical Forecasting Demand Harvard Case:

1) An Introduction describing the market the firm is competing in.
2) Identifying the Challenge(s) facing the firm
3) Strategic Alternative(s) available to the firm
4) Decision: Recommended Action(s)
5) Lessons learned from the case

Suppose New York wants to build a new facility to replace Madison Square Garden. Assume that the cost of building a new arena in midtown Manhattan is $2.5 billion and that all the costs occur right away. Also assume that New York will receive annual benefits of $110 million for the next 25 years, after which the new arena becomes worthless. Does it make financial sense to build the new facility if interest rates are 6 percent? At what interest rate will we be indifferent between accepting and rejecting this project? Make sure to show your work.
