Toys is a large discount toy store in Valley Wood Mall. The store typically has slow sales in the summer months that increase dramatically and rise to a peak at Christmas. During the summer and fall, the store must build up its inventory to have enough stock for the Christmas season. To purchase and build up its stock during the months when its revenues are low, the store borrows money. Following is the store’s projected revenue and liabilities schedule for July through December (where revenues are received and bills are paid at the first of each month): Month Revenue Liabilities July 20,000.00 60,000.00 August 30,000.00 60,000.00 September 40,000.00 80,000.00 October 50,000.00 30,000.00 November December 80,000.00 100,000.00 30,000.00 20,000.00 At the beginning of July, the store can take out a 6-month loan that carries an 11% interest rate and must be paid back at the end of December. The store cannot reduce its interest payment by paying back the loan early. The store can also borrow money monthly at a rate of 5% interest per month. Money borrowed on a monthly basis must be paid back at the beginning of the next month. The store wants to borrow enough money to meet its cash flow needs while minimizing its cost of borrowing. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.

You have been hired by the mayor of Philadelphia to provide sage economic advice. The mayor would like to implement a tax on large fountain soda drinks of $0.80 per drink which the buyers will pay when purchasing the drink. At the moment, soda lovers currently consume 1 million fountain drinks per year in the city (i.e. equilibrium quantity). You are given some data on both the demand and supply curves. For every $0.10 increase in the price of the fountain drink, the quantity demanded falls by 60,000. For every $0.10 increase in the price of the fountain drink the quantity that suppliers are willing to sell rises by 20,000. The mayor tells you that the $0.80 will generate a revenue of $800,000 for the city and that the price of fountain drinks will rise by the amount of the tax ($0.80). As usual, the politicians (the mayor in this case) are incorrect. Explain why they are incorrect by doing the following. (The value of the equilibrium price is not given)

a) Explain why it is impossible that the new tax will increase the price the consumer pays by the full amount of the tax (hint: sketching a small supply and demand graph might be helpful)

b) Calculate what the new equilibrium quantity in the market for fountain drinks will be in Philadelphia after the tax is implemented.

c) Calculate the correct increase in the price of the fountain drink at the register for the buyer after the tax.

d) Calculate the correct amount of tax revenue that the city will collect.
