There is 540 peoplein attendance at a high school basketball game. The admission prices are $5 for students, $7 for parents, and $10 for faculty. The total revenue for the game is$3000. There are 9 times as many students present as parents. Use the variable names: s = # of students, p = # of parents and f = # of faculty. Find the number of each group in attendance by writing a system of 3 equations in the three variables and solving the system.

Suppose that the inverse demand function for a monopolist's product is: p=7-(Q/20)
Its cost function is: C=10+14Q-4Q^2+(2Q^3/3)
Marginal revenue equals marginal cost when output equals: q=_ units and q=_units (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to three decimalplaces.)
What is the profit maximizing output?

Describe the three classifications of taxes, and provide at least one example of each type. If most taxes are regressive, does it seem that this is intentional or an unintended consequence of trying to design a tax system that achieves the somewhat conflicting goals of both: 1) the production of revenue adequate to meet the expenditures of the government; and, 2) is not so burdensome that it substantially curtails the economic activities tied to the growth that every economy wants and needs?

Amanda has a yearly advertising and promotions budget of $50,000. Her goal is to maximize the reach (the number of customers that see her company’s ads or other marketing efforts). She is considering a mix of placing ads on art websites and in printed art magazines, as well as using targeted social media ad placements and appearances at art tradeshows. She wants to make sure that the company has an online presence, so would like to see at least 100 ads placed in any combination of websites and social media per year. However, she has data that suggests that if she advertises on the websites more than 60 times per year she will be wasting money. There are seven art tradeshows that the company could attend, but Amanda feels it is mandatory to attend at least the two most popular tradeshows. There are three major art magazines, each published monthly, that Amanda would like to advertise in. She could advertise in each of these once per month but would be comfortable reducing the frequency to a minimum of once every three months in each magazine and rotating the placements between the magazines. The reach and cost of each type of ad placement or event is shown below: Art Websites Social Media Art Tradeshows Print Magazine Ads Reach (number of people) 20,000 10,000 5,000 15,000 Cost (dollars) 200 250 1,000 400 Recommend the appropriate mix of advertising and promotions for the company. Also comment on what would change if Amanda doubled her advertising and promotions budget. Estimate the increased reach.

A foundation of operations in both manufacturing and service environments is vital in order to drive inefficiencies and examine ways to achieve greater supply chain integration with suppliers and customers. In this assignment, you will compare one manufacturing and one service driven company through creating visual representations of how the product or service is created and delivered, accompanied by a written summary. Select two companies of interest, one manufacturing company (e.g., a shoe company) and one service company (e.g., a technical support company). Provide a brief summary of each company including compelling evidence illustrating the company is either a manufacturing or a service company. Avoid selecting a company that could be arguably both. Manufacturing Research the manufacturing process for the selected company. Create a manufacturing process map. Explain the elements of infrastructure for the manufacturing company using flow charts and be sure to provide a key. Cite three to five sources to support your process map. Service Research the service process for the selected company. Create a service process map. Explain the elements of infrastructure for the service company using flow charts and be sure to provide a key. Cite three to five sources to support your process map. Summary Provide a 750-word summary describing the differences and similarities between manufacturing and service environments. For each company, identify if customer-introduced variability is available. If not, how would you implement flexibility for customer-introduced variability?
Please no Elkay examples and can you make the flow chart bigger.

One of the most difficult matters to determine is where to draw the line between free enterprise and government intervention. Businesses tend to thrive on less regulation, but unregulated businesses also tend to cause harm to customers, investors, the environment, etc. Think of a business that is regulated and try to determine why types of regulations affect the business. Then, make a determination if the regulations are too much, too little, or just right. Be sure to make your discussion 250 words or more.
