Labor supply. Santi derives utility from the hours of leisure (l) and from the amount of goods (c) he consumes. In order to maximize utility, he needs to allocate the 24 hours in the day between leisure hours (l) and work hours (h). Santi has a Cobb-Douglas utility function, u(c, l) = c 2/3 l 1/3 . Assume that all hours not spent working are leisure hours, i.e, h + l = 24. The price of a good is equal to 1 and the price of leisure is equal the hourly wage, w. Santi also has passive income of M per month from his asset.

1. Write Santi’s budget equation and draw his budget constriant with consumption on the x-axis and leisure on the y-axis.

2. Set up Santi’s utility maximization problem.

3. Find the first order condition for optimal consumption and leisure. Derive his consumption and leisure demand functions from the first order condition and budget constraint.

4. Suppose Santi has non-labor income from this return in asset of $100 per month and he makes an hourly wage of $10. What is his consumption, leisure, and work hours per day?

5. Find Santi’s elasticity of leisure demand with respect to hourly wage. (Ed = ∂l/∂w w/l )

6. Find Santi’s elasticity of leisure demand with respect to non-labor income. (EI = ∂l/∂M M/l )

7. How do his leisure, and work hours change when his wage increases? Explain the effects in 2-3 sentences.

8. Suppose now the return on asset is taxed, which results in a decrease in his non labor income, M. Explain the impact that the tax on asset returns has on his leisure, and work hours.

9. Given that his leisure hour l cannot be more than 24 hours, l ≤ 24, and the hourly wage is equal to $10. Find the minimum non-labor income that will guarantee Santi to no longer work, i.e work hour =0, and l = 24.

Heart of the City Electrical Supplies are merchandisers of household fixtures & fittings. The business began the last quarter of 2017 (October to December) with 25 Starburst Wall Clocks at a total cost of $153,000. The following transactions took place during the quarter. October 10 100 clocks were purchased on account at a cost of $6,225 each. In addition, Heart paid $120 cash on each clock to have the inventory shipped from the vendor’s warehouse to their warehouse October 31 During the month 90 clocks were sold at a price of $8,300 each. (20 of these clocks sold were on account to a long-standing customer of the business) November 1 A new batch of 60 clocks was purchased at a total cost of $406,500 November 10 5 of the clocks purchased on November 1 were returned to the supplier, as they were damaged November 30 The sales for November were 58 clocks which yielded total sales revenue of $428,000 December 2 Owing to increased demand, a further 110 clocks were purchased at a cost of $7,400 each and these were subject to a trade discount of 2% each. December 6 William Paul, a customer to whom 8 clocks were sold at the start of the first business day in November, returned 2 of the clocks, as they did not match his specifications. December 31 117 clocks were sold during December at a unit selling price of $9,220. December 31 An actual inventory count was carried out which revealed that there were 22 Starburst wall clocks in the store room. Unless otherwise stated, assume that all purchases are on account and all sales are for cash. Required: i) Prepare a perpetual inventory record for this merchandise, using the last in, first out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation, to determine the company’s cost of goods sold for the quarter and the value of ending inventory. ii) Given that selling & distribution and administrative costs for the quarter were $96,800 and $134,400 respectively, prepare an income statement for Heart of the City Electrical Supplies for the period ended December 31, 2017 iii) State the journal entries necessary to record the transactions on October 10 and October 31, assuming the company uses a: -Periodic inventory system -Perpetual inventory system

1. (11 pts) All Boots is a retailer of boots. It sources a kind of waterproof hunting boots from an Asian supplier for $40 each and sells them to customers for $108 each. Leftover boots at the end of season will be sold to an outlet mall at $30 each. Given the $108 retail price, All Boots forecasts the demand distribution as follows:

Now suppose All Boots found a reliable vendor in the United States that can produce boots very quickly but at a higher price than All Boots’ Asian supplier. Hence, in addition to boots from Asia, All Boots can buy an unlimited quantity of additional boots from this American vendor at $65 each after demand is know.

a) Suppose All Boots orders 500 boots from the Asian supplier (Note that the first order quantity of 500 units is given, which may not be the optimal order quantity). What is the probability that All Boots will order from the American supplier once demand is known, i.e., the probability of placing a second order? (Hint: given the 1st order quantity of 500 units, with what demand outcomes will All Boots need to place a second order?)

b) Again assume that All Boots orders 500 boots from the Asian supplier. On average, how many boots should the American supplier expect that All Boots will order, i.e., the expected second order quantity? Parts c) and d) are separate from parts a)

c) Given the opportunity to order from the American supplier at $65 per boot, what order quantity from its Asian supplier now maximizes All Boots’ expected profit, i.e., optimal first order quantity?

d) Given the order quantity in part c) (not the quantity in parts a and b), what is All Boots’ expected profit? [Hint: expected profit = maximum profit – mismatch cost, where maximum profit = (p-c)* ?]

In conxt to supplychain, Faw Motors, Inc., was incorporated in Volkswagen on July 01, 2003. It has 4 plants across the China that design, manufacture, and market earth moving, construction, and materials handling equipment. It also manufactures engines for earthmoving vehicles and tractor-trailers.

Faw Motors products are distributed worldwide. Net income last year totaled $350,000,000. Faw Motors has developed a “Transportation Quality” program in order to reduce shipping damages to its equipment and to ensure its just-in-time production and inventory system. The program consists of two parts. The first part ensures proper lifting and tie-down provisions by working with engineers in the design process. The second part focuses on internal practices to prepare the product for shipment.

The chief transportation quality engineer has developed a carrier certification program for both inbound and outbound freight. The program establishes standards requiring the carrier to adhere to 100 percent performance. Use of fewer certified carriers increases the amount of business given to each one. The price is obtained through competitive bidding. It is a function of the travel distance and the weight and density of the shipment.

At the present time, Faw Motors is considering one of three carriers to add to its list of certified carriers.

‘Carrier X’ has 10,000 trucks and a claim rate of 1.5 percent payment to revenue. The company’s pickup/delivery time meets the industry average of four days to transport from Beijing to Hong Kong.

‘Carrier Y’ implements a quality program for its 9,000 trucks to meet on time delivery. It has a 1 percent claim rate.

‘Carrier Z’ has 9,500 trucks and an excellent safety record, but it has not met the average pickup/delivery time. Its claim rate is 1 percent. (See Exhibit A for price estimates.)

EXHIBIT A

Price Estimatesper ton-miles (PPTM):

Carrier X: PPTM $1.05

Carrier Y: PPTM$1.15

Carrier Z: PPTM$0.95

Requirement:

a)      Develop a checklist of items that should be considered when selecting a carrier.

b)     What are the advantages of certifying the carriers?

c)      Is price the most important factor in evaluating carriers? Justify your answer with an example.

d)     What are the key factors regarding Faw’s carrier needs?
