A producer of a new range of energy drink introduces their product at R25 per can. After a month of sales, they introduce a special of R 40 for two cans. A month later they sell the product at the original introductory price. They subsequently introduce another special after another month of R 45 for two. After a month of sales, they re-introduce the original special of R40 for two and this special is kept on-going for numerous months thereafter. Use price elasticity theory to show why, ceteris paribus, the producer settles at the initial special of R 40 for two. In your discussion, include a comment on the type of price elasticity observed with the demand for this energy drink at these prices.

An insurance company accepts an obligation to pay $7,000 at the end year 1, pay $8,000 at the end of year 2, and pay $9,600 at the end of year 3. The insurance company purchases a combination of the following three bonds in order to exactly match its obligation.

• Bond 1: 1-year 6% annual coupon bond with yield rate of 8%.

• Bond 2: 2-year zero coupon bond with yield rate of 7%.

• Bond 3: 3-year 20% annual coupon bond with yield rate of 12%.

(a) What face amount of each bond should the insurance company buy to do this?

(b) What price should the insurance company pay for the 3-year bond?

Please show detailed steps, and please don't use excel. I want to understand this.

To develop the skill of making and assessing economic arguments and to deepen understanding of the economic concepts introduced in Chapters 4 and 7.

Context: Normative economic statements are economic policy goals and values. There are two types of economic goals: efficiency and equity. Efficiency was discussed in detail in Chapter 4. Here is a nice resource that elaborates on the idea of economic justice In this exercise, we contrast these, thinking about trade-offs that might exist between the two.

Consider the following equity or economic justice statement:

   1. It is unfair to impose draconian sentences for non-violent crimes such as burglary committed by the lower classes.  

And now consider the following efficiency statement:

  2. It is efficient to impose tough sentences for non-violent crimes to reduce these socially undesirable activities.   

Task: Make one substantive but succinct post (50-200 words, no more!) to the Activity 6: Normative Economics (Efficiency vs, Equity) Forum. For your post

• Argue in favor of statement 1, explaining why it is more important than the efficiency goal in statement 2.

OR

• Argue in favor of statement 2, explaining why it is more important than the equity goal in statement 1

OR

• Propose and argue in favor of a policy that addresses both equity and efficiency goals.

A quiz is created by choosing for each question on the quiz one possible version at random from a bank of
possible versions of the question. There are 20 versions in the bank for each question.
A specific question on the quiz involves a one-sample test for the population mean with hypotheses
H0 : µ = 15
Ha : µ > 15
with all versions of the question involving a sample of size n = 35.
Seven versions of the question give the population standard deviation as σ = 3. Six versions give the sample standard
deviation as s = 4 . 2. The remaining versions give the sample standard deviation as s = 5 . 7.
Let c∗ be the critical value for the rejection region on this question. Calculate E [ c∗ ].

A local graphic design company had purchased a large-scale printer 10 years ago for $180,000. The operations manager conducted a replacement study last year and she found that the current printer could be used for 4 more years before it is replaced. After two years, the owner of the company requested to repeat the replacement study for the printer. The current value for the printer is $22,000 but in order to keep it in service, a sensor should be replaced at a cost of $52,000 to be used for two more years. It is found that the current printer has an annual maintenance & operating cost of $18,000. The other option for the company is to purchase a new largescale printer with a total AW cost of $70,000 per year over 7 years the Economic Life Service. Determine when the printer should be replaced using an interest rate of 10%. work it in excel
