4. Which of the following pricing practices represents price discrimination? Explain.

a. Local businesses in a small college town offer a 10% discount to anyone showing a student ID card.

b. Fred’s Fridges advertises a one-day sale on refrigerators. The ad specifies that no phone orders are accepted and that the buyer must transport the refrigerator.

c. A hardback copy of the last Harry Potter book sold for $30 at an independent bookstore; but for $25 at the local outlet of a national bookstore chain.

d. Freshman tuition and fees at Penn State-University Park for academic year 2018-2019 was about $18,000 for Pennsylvania residents and $35,000 for out-of-state students (a pricing pattern that is typical of state universities.)

Question 5

You visit the new Chaco Hotel rooftop bar in old town. You're taking pictures of the fabulous views using your new $1,000 phone. Oops! The phone slips out of your hands plummeting to the ground 60 feet below. Ignoring air resistance. how fast is your phone traveling by the time it hits the ground ? [ Hint: 1 meter = 3.28 feet ] ( Circle one answer)

A.) 19mph

B.) 42 mph

C.) 37mph

D.) 602 mph

I am doing test corrections for my physics exam I put C(37mph and that was incorrect. Can you please help with this question very confused about it.

26. How are costs calculated and prices set under the total cost method?

27. What is meant by sales mix?

A city with 4% unemployment and no inflation is considering building a new stadium for its professional football team. The team currently plays in an old stadium owned by the city. It would cost city $500M (M for million) to demolish the old stadium and build a new one at the same location, which the city owns. The new stadium would be expected to last for 40 years and the city would finance the costs of the project by borrowing at 6% annual interest and paying $35M per year for 40 years for all expenses, including maintenance and debt repayment. About $300M of the demolition and construction cost would be spent on labor and materials supplied by city residents (referred to as locals). The team owner, who is not a local, would pay the city $3M per year rent. The owner’s company would sell tickets to games, parking, and concessions (food, drink, souvenirs, etc.) and keep the profits from those sales. Analysts estimate that if the stadium is built, the locals’ demand curve for tickets to the games will be linear each year, with a choke price of $240, and that locals will buy 100,000 tickets per year from the team owner’s company at an average price of $80 per ticket. Analysts estimate that outsiders who attend games will spend $20M per year on restaurants, hotels and other goods and services provided by city residents. Assume that the average profit rate of local businesses and local labor is 0.2 and that locals’ marginal propensity to consume local value added is 0.3. Except in part h, below, assume that the analysts’ estimates are correct. Except in part i, assume that the football team will leave the city if the new stadium is not built.

a.[10] Estimate the net generated income for the locals from the demolition of the old and construction of the new stadium alone, making reasonable assumptions about any other missing information. Explain all your steps. Translate this net generated income into annualized income for the residents at 6% annual interest.

b.[7] An economic impact analysis of the stadium project estimates that the demolition and construction alone would give the locals generated income of $600M (estimated to be the $300M spent on local value added times a multiplier of 2). List and explain the reasons why this “generated income” estimate is probably much higher than a reasonable estimate of the net generated income from the demolition and construction.

c.[6] Estimate the annual user benefit the locals would get from the project. Explain all your steps.

Jack Tar, CFO of Sheetbend & Halyard, Inc., opened the company confidential envelope. It contained a draft of a competitive bid for a contract to supply duffel canvas to the Canadian Armed Forces. The cover memo from Sheetbend’s CEO asked Mr. Tar to review the bid before it was submitted. The bid and its supporting documents had been prepared by Sheetbend’s sales staff. It called for Sheetbend to supply 100,000 yards of duffel canvas per year for 5 years. The proposed selling price was fixed at $30 per yard.

The cost of goods will increase for this this project is 70% in the first year followed by 73%, 76%, 78.74% and 82% in years 2 through 5.Company tax rate is 35% Mr. Tar was not usually involved in sales, but this bid was unusual in at least two respects. First, if accepted by the forces, it would commit Sheetbend to a fixed-price, long-term contract. Second, producing the duffel canvas would require an investment of $1.5 million to purchase machinery and to refurbish Sheetbend’s plant in Saint John, New Brunswick. Mr. Tar set to work and by the end of the week had collected the following facts and assumptions:

• The plant in Saint John was built in the early 1900s and is now idle. The plant was fully depreciated on Sheetbend’s books, except for the purchase cost of the land (in 1947) of $10,000. • Now that the land was valuable shorefront property, Mr. Tar thought the land and the idle plant could be sold, immediately or in the future, for $600,000.

• Refurbishing the plant would cost $500,000. This investment would be depreciated for tax purposes in an asset class that has a CCA rate of 5%. • The new machinery would cost $1 million. This investment could be depreciated in an asset class that has a CCA rate of 30%.

• Working capital requirement is 10% of sales • The refurbished plant and new machinery would last for many years. However, the remaining market for duffel canvas was small, and it was not clear that additional orders could be obtained once the Forces contract was finished. The machinery was custom-built and could be used only for duffel canvas. Its second-hand value at the end of 5 years was probably zero.

1) Armed with this information, construct a spreadsheet/table to calculate the NPV of the duffel canvas project, assuming that Sheetbend’s bid would be accepted by the Forces. Should Mr. Tar recommend submitting the bid to the Forces at the proposed price of $30 per yard? The discount rate for this project is 12%.

2) He had just finished debugging the spreadsheet when another confidential envelope arrived from Sheetbend’s CEO. It contained a firm offer from a New Brunswick real estate developer to purchase Sheetbend’s Saint John land and plant for $1.5 million in cash. Which offer would you except 5 marks

Show all calculations and rationale . Use the Cheat Sheet NPV Analysis as a template for this analysis Hint Think of the three areas that have to be examined

1. Cash flow from investments in plant and equipment – capital investment.

2. Cash flow from investment in working capital 3. Cash flow from operations

(1) Covert a Hexadecimal to decimal (there is a video for you to watch too). Then write a program that can convert a binary to decimal (only for integer case).

a) Directly use Java built-in method to do this. In this case, only couple lines of code. Hint: Study Integer class in Java.

b) Write your own code to convert a binary to decimal from scratch. The input is a binary string. The program output is its corresponding decimal value. This way you need to design the algorithm.

The value of f depends on two independent variables x and y as defined below:

f(x,y)=x2+y2−x+3cos(x)sin(y)

Function f has a minimum in the neighborhood of the origin (i.e. [0 0]). Find x and y which minimize f.

Note: You are not allowed to use MATLAB built-in functions for optimization. Follow the logic of the derivative test:

The minimum of f occurs where:

∂f∂x=0∂f∂y=0

In matlab.write a program that converts a numerical date given by the user into a month, day, and year. Specifically, the user should input a sequence of eight numbers 05141956.

the program should print out the same date in complete format. In this example it would print "The date is May 14th, 1956". Notice the "th" addition after the day. This changes depending on the number. Make sure this feature is included. MATLAB has built-in date conversion functions. You cannot use them in this exercise.

Indicate whether each of the following was counted in the United States gross domestic product for the year 1998. Explain each of your answers.

a) The commission earned by a Realtor who sold a house in 1998. The house was originally built in 1955.

b) The value of an automobile produced in 1998, but sold on January 1st, 1999.

c) The $1000 that Kevin earned from a stock that he bought and sold in 1998.

d) The value of blenders produced in 1998 entirely in Germany by a company that is owned by American citizens.
