A local accounting firm in Small town orders boxes of floppy disks (10 disks to a box) from a store in Megalopolis. The per-box price charged by the store depends on the number of boxes purchased (see Table). The accounting firm uses 10,000 disks per year. The cost of placing an order is assumed to be $100. The only holding cost is the opportunity cost of capital, which is assumed to be 20% per year. Each time an order is placed for disks, how many boxes of disks should be ordered? How many orders will be placed annually? What is the total cost of meeting the accounting firm’s disk needs?

  1. The hobo is on his way back through town on a faster train. Turns out he’s also a competent trombone player.
    1. What frequency would he actually be playing if the train is approaching you at 25 m/s and you hear a perfect 220 Hz note (an A)?
    1. As the train approaches, you happen to be watching a friend at band practice. When she stands still, you hear a 2 Hz beat frequency as she, too, is holding out the same note (though not quite in tune). What are the two possible frequencies that you are hearing from her (in combination with the hobo)?
    1. When she slightly extends her slide, the beat pattern effectively disappears (i.e. she’s perfectly playing 220 Hz). Which frequency did you hear her playing in part b? Explain.

*all info is provided

Consider a small town that has a population of dedicated pizza eaters but is able to accommodate only two pizza shops, Donna’s Deep Dish and Pierce’s Pizza Pies. Each seller has to choose a price for its pizza, but for simplicity, assume that only two prices are available: high and low. If a high price is set, the sellers can achieve a profit margin of $12 per pie; the low price yields a profit margin of $10 per pie. Donna’s has a loyal captive customer base that will buy 11,000 pies per week and Pierce’s has a loyal captive customer base that will buy 3,000 pies per week, no matter what price is charged by either store. There is also a floating demand of 4,000 pies per week. The people who buy these pies are price conscious and will go to the store with the lower price; if both stores charge the same price, this demand will be split equally between them.

a) In equilibrium, Pierce’s earns $_______ in profit.

b) Donna’s loyal captive customer base has to be larger than ________ so that it sets its price at $12/pie if Pierce’s sets its price at $10/pie.

On January 1, 2019, the Town of Floyd issued $ 8,000,000 of 4% tax supported bonds. The bonds are dated January 1, 2019 with interest payment dates of June December 31, 2019. The bonds were sold at a $78,000 premium that was transferred to the Debt Service Fund from the capital projects fund to be used to fund the first payment. Cash sufficient to cover interest and principal payments for the year less the premium is transferred from the General Fund on June 1st.

Required: Record any and all entries to be made by the Debt Service Fund for the bond issued for the year 2019 (including closing entries)

Trevor is interested in purchasing the local hardware/sporting goods store in the small town of Dove Creek, Montana. After examining accounting records for the past several years, he found that the store has been grossing over $850 per day about 70% of the business days it is open. Estimate the probability that the store will gross over $850 for the following. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(a) at least 3 out of 5 business days

(b) at least 6 out of 10 business days

(c) fewer than 5 out of 10 business days

(d) fewer than 6 out of the next 20 business days

If the outcome described in part (d) actually occurred, might it shake your confidence in the statement p = 0.70? Might it make you suspect that p is less than 0.70? Explain.

Yes. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.70.

Yes. This is likely to happen if the true value of p is 0.70.

No. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.70.

No. This is likely to happen if the true value of p is 0.70.

(e) more than 17 out of the next 20 business days If the outcome described in part (e) actually occurred, might you suspect that p is greater than 0.70? Explain.

Yes. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.70.

Yes. This is likely to happen if the true value of p is 0.70.

No. This is unlikely to happen if the true value of p is 0.70.

PLEASE DO NOT HANDWRITE ANSWER!!!]

George has a monopoly on burrito sales in a small town in Kansas. The burritos cost him a constant $5 each to produce. He faces following demand schedule for his product: Price Quantity Demanded $30 0 $25 1 $20 2 $15 3 $10 4 $5 5 $0 6 Under normal monopoly conditions, how many burritos should he produce, what price should he charge, and how much profit can he expect to make? Draw a graph under these assumptions showing (and calculating) producer surplus, consumer surplus, economic surplus and deadweight loss. If George was able to engage in perfect price discrimination, how many burritos would he produce, what would his total revenue be, and how much profit would he earn? Draw a graph under these assumptions showing (and calculating) producer surplus, consumer surplus, economic surplus and deadweight loss. Is society better off by allowing George to perfectly price discriminate? Defend your answer.

2. Tiare’s city tour company is situated in the highly seasonal town of Moorea where the number of visitors fluctuates greatly from month to month. City tours are very competitive in this

town and Tiare is a price-taker. Her monthly fixed cost is $2,000. Her variable costs are:

Quantity of tours per month               Variable cost

100                                                      $700

200                                                      $1500

300                                                      $2400

400                                                      $4000

500                                                      $5800

600                                                      $7800

Since Tiare is a price-taker, she must charge what everybody else in Moorea’s market charges. The market price varies from month to month as shown below.

Month             Market Price

January            $5

March              $5

May                 $15

July                 $19

September       $19

a. Give the profit-maximizing output of this firm and calculate its profits in each of these

months. Hints: MC = dVC/dq = dTC/dq. You need to find an output decision and profit for each month since market price changes depending on what month it is.

Please make a table with the following columns: Output (quantity), VC, MC, AVC. Once you have that information make another table showing the output decision for each month (i.e., one column for month, one column for price, one column for output). Next calculate the firm’s profit. Make another table with the following columns to facilitate your profit calculation: Month, price, output, revenue, cost, profit.

b. Will firms enter or exit this market in the long run?

c. How will the firm’s output decisions differ if fixed cost were $1000 per month?

Luke tells Laura that his favorite baseball team, the Washington Nationals, is coming to town to play the Chicago Cubs, and he will spend $75 a ticket if Laura will go to the game with him. Laura is excited, and she tells Luke that she will attend the game with him and that he can pick her up at her place around five o’clock the evening of the game. Luke also informs Laura that he will take her to dinner before the 7:30 p.m. game.

Luke goes to pick Laura around 4:48 p.m. up on game day and finds no one at home. Too embarrassed to attend the restaurant and game by himself, he goes home. Worried that something may have happened to Laura, he tries to reach her by telephone. The following day, he contacts her and she informs him that she changed her mind; she did not want to go to the game with him because it looked like it was going to rain and she had made plans with another "friend." Also, she did not feel it was necessary to call. Luke becomes very emotionally upset over the rejection. Two days later, he files a lawsuit against Laura for $225 in damages for the two unused tickets to the game and the cost of a reasonable dinner for two and $500 in damages for his emotional trauma.

How would the case be decided? Were there any ethical violations?
