BBT Production is promoting a concert in Kuala Lumpur. The bands will receive a flat fee of RM7 million in cash. The concert will be shown worldwide on closed-circuit television. BBT will collect 100% of the receipts and will return 30% to the individual local closed-circuit theater managers. BBT expects to sell 1.1 million seats at a net average price of RM13 each.

Club Fitness is open from 5 A.M. until 9 P.M. Monday through Saturday. The gym is closed on Sundays and holidays. Hank Hunkley, the owner, is considering offering 24-hour, 7-day-a-week, 365-days-a year access for an additional $59 a year per member. In exchange for the extra fee, the member would receive a magnetic fob that will unlock the door when the facility is closed. Each fob would cost Hank $5. Based on a survey taken of his 951 current members, Hank estimates that 36% of them will buy the fob to allow extended hours access. What is the total CLV associated with the 24/7/365 access plan for the current membership if the costs for personnel and equipment for the program are $9,548 annually?

6. The income-expenditure model Consider a small economy that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. Suppose that the economy has the following consumption function, where C is consumption, Y is real GDP, I is investment, G is government purchases, and T stands for net taxes: C = 45+0.75×(Y – T) Suppose G = $60 billion, I = $60 billion, and T = $20 billion. Given the consumption function and the fact that for a closed economy total expenditure can be calculated as Y=C+I+G , the equilibrium output level is equal to $ billion. Suppose the government purchases are reduced by $50 billion. The new equilibrium level of output will be equal to . Based on the effect of the change in government purchases on equilibrium output, you can tell that this economy's spending multiplier is equal to .

The multi-merge sort algorithm (M&M sort) works like merge sort, except that instead of dividing the array into 2 partitions, it divides the array into p partitions. It recursively sorts each of the p partitions and then merges the results doing a p-way merge (except, of course, for the base case of a singleton or empty array). (a) Write the recurrence for T(n) for M&M sort for the case where p is a constant. Then, give a closed-form solution to the recurrence using the Master Theorem, and note which case applied. (b) Now assume that p is not a constant, but rather p(n) = n/10. Rewrite T(n) for this case. Then, give a closed form solution. Use the Master Theorem if it applies, or any other means of arriving at the result.
