4. A. A consumer has $360. Good X costs $4 each. Good Y costs $8 each. Draw the budget line. Label it “budget line
A.” Preferences are perfect complements: utility = min{X,Y}. Both X and Y are normal goods. Numerically solve the consumer’s budget choice. Label it on the diagram, including the indifference curve, and all solved numbers. B. A consumer has $400. Good X costs $6 each. Good Y costs $7 each. Draw a new budget line, on a new graph. Label it “budget line B.” Once again, preferences are perfect complements: utility = min{X,Y}. Both are normal goods. Numerically solve the consumer’s budget choice. Label it on the diagram, including the indifference curve, and all solved numbers. C. Herman Cain ran for president in the year 2000. He made the following policy proposal: Reduce the federal income tax, and make up the federal revenue shortfall with a new national sales tax charged, in addition to the state and local sales tax. Total federal tax revenue would be unchanged. Herman Cain stated that the average person would be better off. Use the objective of the consumer (utility maximization, as illustrated in parts A and B) to explain and evaluate if Herman Cain was right or wrong.

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 50 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below: Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per Student Instructor wages $ 3,080 Classroom supplies $ 260 Utilities $ 870 $ 130 Campus rent $ 4,200 Insurance $ 1,890 Administrative expenses $ 3,270 $ 15 $ 4 For example, administrative expenses should be $3,270 per month plus $15 per course plus $4 per student. The company’s sales should average $800 per student. The company planned to run three courses with a total of 45 students; however, it actually ran three courses with a total of only 42 students. The actual operating results for September appear below: Actual Revenue $ 32,400 Instructor wages $ 9,080 Classroom supplies $ 8,540 Utilities $ 1,530 Campus rent $ 4,200 Insurance $ 1,890 Administrative expenses $ 3,790 Required: 1. Prepare the company’s planning budget for September. 2. Prepare the company’s flexible budget for September. 3. Calculate the revenue and spending variances for September.

Suppose that one individual’s demand curve is D1(p) = 20−p and another individual’s is D2(p) = 10−2p. What is the market demand function? We have to be a little careful here about what we mean by “linear” demand functions. Since a negative amount of a good usually has no meaning, we really mean that the individual demand functions have the form D1(p) = max{20 − p, 0} D2(p) = max{10 − 2p, 0}. What economists call “linear” demand curves actually aren’t linear functions! The sum of the two demand curves looks like the curve depicted in Figure 15.2 (intermediate economics hal varian 8th edition). Note the kink at p = 5.
1) Consider the example of "Adding up Linear Demand Curves" discussed in Ch 15. Choose new numeric values of the two parameters in the individual demand functions, and solve for the resulting market demand curve. Choose numeric values for parameters "a" and "b" in an inverse linear demand curve of the following form: P=a-bQ. If you were in charge of setting the price for a product your company produces, and you had a good estimate of the demand for your product, you could determine an estimate of the total revenue you would make at each price. If you total costs are zero, what price would you set? What is the equation of the marginal revenue curve?

On January 1, 2021, Ithaca Corp. purchases Cortland Inc. bonds
that have a face value of $230,000. The Cortland bonds have a
stated interest rate of 6%. Interest is paid semiannually on June
30 and December 31, and the bonds mature in 10 years. For bonds of
similar risk and maturity, the market yield on particular dates is
as follows: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1
and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables
provided.):
| January 1, 2021 | 8.0 | % |
| June 30, 2021 | 9.0 | % |
| December 31, 2021 | 10.0 | % |
Required:
1. Calculate the price Ithaca would have paid for
the Cortland bonds on January 1, 2021 (ignoring brokerage fees),
and prepare a journal entry to record the purchase.
2. Prepare all appropriate journal entries related
to the bond investment during 2021, assuming Ithaca accounts for
the bonds as a held-to-maturity investment. Ithaca calculates
interest revenue at the effective interest rate as of the date it
purchased the bonds.
3. Prepare all appropriate journal entries related
to the bond investment during 2021, assuming that Ithaca chose the
fair value option when the bonds were purchased, and that Ithaca
determines fair value of the bonds semiannually. Ithaca calculates
interest revenue at the effective interest rate as of the date it
purchased the bonds.
