During the first week of lockdown, you decided not to spend more than $30 on your food. You ate only hotdog with burger bread, and that also in a 1:1 combination, and nothing else. The prices of both these goods were $1 per unit. Find out the optimum amount of hotdog and burger bread you consumed that week. In the second week, due to lack of supply the price of hotdog increased to $2 while the price of burger bread did not change. How many hotdogs and burgers bread did you consume in the second week? Explain the income and substitution effects of this price change using a diagram

The table below contains the demand and price and total cost data for the production of x widgets. Here p is the price (in dollars) of a widget for an annual demand of x widgets, and C is the annual total cost (in dollars) of producing x widgets per year.

Annual demand Price

10 147

20 132

30 125

40 128

50 113

60 97

70 85

80 82

90 79

100 53

Use the given data to find a regression line that best fits the price-demand data for price p in dollars as a function of the demand x widgets. Here, price is the dependent variable, and demand is the independent variable. Find the regression function for price, and write it as p ( x ) = m x + b.Find the regression function for price, and write it as p ( x ) = m x + b.

• Does it look like the regression line models the data well? Why or why not?
• Use the regression function you found to estimate p ( x ) for specific values of x. Give the real-world interpretation of the result of such computations in complete sentences. Be sure to include units.
• Find the value of x would make p ( x ) = 0. Give the real-world interpretation of the result of the computation in complete sentences. Be sure to include units.

Create a simple shopping cart application. Ask the user to input an item number and quantity. Update the shopping cart. Display the updated cart. Include the following when displaying cart: item number, name, quantity and total price. Ask for another update or end the program.

Design

Requires 2 classes: the main class and the cartItem class In the main class: Need one array named cartArray of type cartItem. Size = ? Need a loop that asks the user for input. Ask for item number, which is a string and quantity which is an integer. Need to create a new cartItem from user input of item number and quantity. Load the cartItem object into the cartArray. (CartItem is a class that takes two values in constructor: item number and item quantity.) Print out all items in cartArray (item number, name, quantity, and total price) and ask user for more input.

CartItem class

CartItem has four instance variables. String itemNumber; String name; int quantity; double totalPrice; It also has a “database” made up of 3 arrays. Described below. The CartItem class has a constructor that takes a String(itemNumber) and an integer(quantity) as arguments. The constructor does the following: It passes the item number up to the corresponding instance variable. It also passes the quantity up to the quantity instance variable. It then calls the getItemName method to first, get the item name and then set the item name instance variable. It calls the calcPrice method to set the totalPrice instance variable by first getting the total price and then setting the totalPrice instance variable.

The CartItem class Has at least the following methods: public double calcPrice(String itemNumber); Returns total price: calculated by multiplying price by quantity. Need to look up the price.Use the item number array to get the index of the item number. Use the item number index to find the price from the price array. Once you have the price you multiply the price by the quantity and return the total. public String getItemName(String itemNumber); returns item name. Use the item number array to get the index of the item number. Use this index to find the name of the corresponding item. Return the name. public void setItemName(String name); sets name instance variable. public String toString() returns the string values of all the variables. Array description The first is of type String that holds the item numbers. Example: {“101a”, “ 201b”, “301c”} The second array is of type String and it holds the item name. Example: {“Flashlight”, ”scissors”, “Book mark”}; Third array is of type double that has the corresponding prices: {12.99, 4.55, 1.99};

A company is considering three alternative prices for a new product it plans to introduce. the estimate of price and quantity demanded are: with a price of $100 per unit the demand will be 50,000 units; with a price of $150 per unit the demand will be 35,000 units; and with a price of $200 per unit the demand will be 20,000 units. Fixed costs are $2,000,000 and variable cost is $50 per unit. What is the profit when the company chooses the profit-maximizing price?. Single choice.

$5,250,000

$500,000

$1,000,000

$1,500,000

A company manufactures giant plastic pumpkins. The company usually sells 10,000 pumpkins for $50 each. The cost of one pumpkin: direct materials $12, direct labor $10, variable overhead $5, fixed overhead $8. A big customer approached the company and requested a special order of 1,000 pumpkins for a discounted price of $30 a unit. Assume the company has the capacity to manufacture the additional pumpkins in its current factory, and that the special order is not expected to affect the regular sales to other customers. What is the effect of accepting the special order on the profit of the company?

Increase by $3,000

Decrease by $5,000

Increase by $30,000

Decrease by $20,000

Question 2 Let’s consider the supply and demand curves for natural gas. Suppose that the supply curve is: Qs = 10+ 0.6PG + 0.05PO and the demand curve is: Qd = 0.01−2PG + 0.5PO, where Qs and Qd are the quantities supplied and demanded measured in trillion cubic feet, PG is the price of natural gas in dollars per thousand cubic feet, and PO is the price of oil in dollars per barrel. Suppose that the price of oil is $100 per barrel.

a) What is the equilibrium free market price and quantity of natural gas? b) Suppose that a regulation mandates that the maximum allowable price of natural gas is $7 per thousand cubic feet. In this case, what is the total amount of natural gas demanded and supplied?

Use your maximum allowable price in your respective demand and supply curves to determine the quantities
