You just completed your master of science in biochemistry and a large bio-medical company wants to hire you. Their offer is as follows: Annual salary of $200,000 starting one year from today. However, they will only offer a contract for twenty years, and they will not guarantee if they can renew your contract. Also, they want you to complete an MBA in your second year and third year while working with them (t=2 and t=3). You must pay for that education (they do not cover education expenses). However, since your first annual paycheck is one year from today (t=1), they are willing to give a contract signing bonus of $100,000 today (if you sign the contract today).

The publisher Elsevier uses mixed-bundling pricing strategy. The publisher sells a university access to a bundle of 930 of its journals for $1.7million for one year. It also offers the journals separately at individual prices. Because Elsevier offers the journals online (with password access), universities can track how often their students and faculty access journals and then cancel those journals that they seldom read.
Suppose that a publisher offers a university only three journals – A, B and C – at the unbundled, individual annual subscription prices of pA = $1,600, pB = $800, and pC = $1,500. Suppose a university’s willingness to pay for each of the journals is vA = $2,000, vB = $1,100, and vC = $1,400.

a) If the publisher offers the journals only at the individual subscription prices, to which journals does the university subscribe?

b) Given these individual prices, what is the highest price that the university is willing to pay for the three journals bundled together?

c) Now suppose that the publisher offers the same deal to a second university with willingness to pay vA = $1,800, vB = $1,000, and vC = $2,100. With the two universities, calculate the revenue-maximizing individual bundle prices.

Consider an individual who purchases two goods. Let ? denote the
quantity of good 1 that this person buys, and let ? denote the quantity of good 2 that
this person buys. The income earned by this individual provides money in the
amount ?=540 which this person can use to spend on these two goods. The price of
good 1 is ?! = 5 and the price of good 2 is ?" = 5. This person’s happiness is
determined by the utility function ?(? , ? ) = 10x^.5 x^.5
a. What type of the utility function is the consumer facing in this question?

1. You graduated from Loyola two years ago, and you are now earning a salary of $50,000 per year. The total cost of your Loyola education was $200,000. You are now thinking about earning an MBA degree. Because of your excellent education at Loyola, you are eligible for the one-year, accelerated program at Global University, which has a cost of $120,000 for tuition, room, board, books, etc. To earn the MBA, you would have to quit your job and study full-time. As you are deciding what to do, your manager at work tells you that, based on your outstanding performance, you will be promoted in one month; the new position will carry a salary of $60,000 per year, or $10,000 more than you are earning now. You estimate that the MBA will translate into the following incremental after-tax earnings for the next ten years, which is your decision horizon:
