The annual inverse demand for a year of studies at UK is P(q) = 12,000 - .15q. The marginal cost is $3,000
a. What is the profit maximizing tuition rate and how many student enroll
b. For poorer families, the inverse demand is P(q) = 8,000 - 5q. Is it profitable to offer "need based" scholarships to poorer families? (Determine new P and Q and think in tems of 3rd degree price discrimination)

The variable to be measured is the number of hours a ten year old spend watching videos . Using three distributions-
1 Distribution of a population of an individual
2 Distribution of a particular sample of individuals from the population
3 Distribution of the mean
Explain the difference in these three distribution to some one who has never taken statistics class before.

A mutual fund holds the following assets at the beginning of the year:
9,400 shares of FB, price $180
1250 shares of AMZN, price $1100
1100 shares of GOOG, price $950
The mutual fund has 102,000 number of shares issued at this point. The mutual fund has 1.2% operating expenses, 0.5% 12b-1 fees and a 4% front-end load. Expenses and fees are deducted from assets at the end of the year. At the end of the year, the assets held by the fund are worth $ 4.4m (before expenses) and there are 100,000 shares outstanding. Just before the end of the year, the fund realized $0.3m capital gains and received $0.2m dividends. What is the reported return on the fund?{Provide your answer in %, rounded to two decimals, omitting the % sign. Please show all formulae, solutions and steps.)

A new edition of a very popular textbook will be published a
year from now. The publisher currently has 1,000 copies on hand and
is deciding whether to do another printing before the new edition
comes out. The publisher estimates that demand for the book during
the next year is governed by the probability distribution in the
file P10_31.xlsx. A production run incurs a fixed cost of $15,000
plus a variable cost of $20 per book printed. Books are sold for
$190 per book. Any demand that cannot be met incurs a penalty cost
of $30 per book, due to loss of goodwill. Up to 1,000 of any
leftover books can be sold to Barnes and Noble for $45 per book.
The publisher is interested in maximizing expected profit. The
following print-run sizes are under consideration: 0 (no production
run) to 16,000 in increments of 2,000. What decision would you
recommend? Use simulation with 1,000 replications.
_________________
For your optimal decision, the publisher can be 90% certain that the actual profit associated with remaining sales of the current edition will be between what two values? If needed, round your answers to whole dollar amounts.

You are a newspaper publisher. You are in the middle of a one-year rental contract for your factory that requires you to pay $500,000 per month, and you have contractual labor obligations of $1 million per month that you can’t get out of. You also have a marginal printing cost of $.25 per paper as well as a marginal delivery cost of $.10 per paper. If sales fall by 20 per cent from 1 million papers per month to 800,000 papers per month,
A. what happens to the AFC per paper? How much is it?
B What happens to the MC per paper? How much is it?
C What happens to the minimum amount that you must charge to break even on these costs? How much is it?

10.The distribution of vehicles sales in the United States in the year 2000 was the following:
Type of car Small Midsize Large Luxury
% 32.8 44.8 9.4 3.0
A simple random sample of 500 vehicles sales was taken this year and the Distribution is as follow:
Type of car Small Midsize Large Luxury
% 133 249 47 71
At the 5% significant level, do the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of vehicle sales this year has changed from the 2000 distribution?
