1. 1b. At a price of $14, what is the profit-maximizing number the firm should produce each day? (note: Do not necessarily just look at economic profit. Look at marginal revenue and marginal cost. Pick the one where MR=MC).

2. 1f. What is the ATC associated with the profit-maximizing number you chose in 1b (and 1d)? (round to the nearest penny)

3. 2b. At a price of $10, What is the profit-maximizing number the firm should produce each day? (Again, do not necessarily just look at economic profit. Look at marginal revenue and marginal cost.)

4. 2c. What is the ATC associated with the profit-maximizing number you chose in 2b? (round to the nearest penny)

5. 2f. What are the total variable costs associated with the profit-maximizing number you chose in 2b? (round to the nearest penny)

he manager of the O’Brian Glass Company is planning the production of automobile windshields for the next four months. The demand for the next four months is projected to be as shown in the following table.MonthDemand for Windshields1130214032604120 292 Chapter 5: Transportation, Assignment, and Network ModelsO’Brian can normally produce 100 windshields in a month. This is done during regular production hours at a cost of $100 per windshield. If demand in any one month cannot be satisfied by regular production, the production manager has three other choices: (1) He can produce up to 50 more windshields per month in overtime but at a cost of $130 per windshield; (2) he can purchase a limited number of windshields from a friendly competitor for resale at a cost of $150 each (the maximum number of outside purchases over the four-month period is 450 windshields); or (3) he can fill the demand from his on-hand inventory. The inventory carrying cost is $10 per windshield per month. Back orders are not permitted. Inventory on hand at the beginning of month 1 is 40 windshields. Set up and solve this “production smoothing” problem as a transportation model to minimize cost. Hint: Set the various production options (e.g., regular production, outside purchase, etc.) as supply nodes and the monthly demands as the demand nodes. MLA (Modern Language Assoc.)

Warisan Jambu Manufacturer Sdn Bhd

Getting an idea to commercialise the iconic local cuisine in Pekan, Pahang – murtabak (beef stuffed pancake), has initiated the owner of Warisan Jambu Manufacturer Sdn Bhd, Mr Shah to venture into this food-making business. Mr Shah has started his food business since 2002 as an eatery that serving his murtabak products for customers who came either for dining in or took away the mouth-watering local cuisine. After 15 years delved into the food industry, he attempted to transform his current business model (runs a restaurant business) into a frozen food-based business. He has invested a substantial amount of capital to meet all the relevant authorities’ requirements that fit to his business model. Among the apparent challenges faced by Mr Shah are the financial constraints and lack of high skill workers in order to meet the increasing demand of customers mainly in the East Coast region. The company targets to increase its revenue by 25% yearly for the next three years ahead to earn a satisfactory amount of profit. Therefore, Mr Shah makes his effort to identify any business support services from government and other related agencies that could facilitate his business in the future.

Required.

(a) In today’s challenging business trends, Mr Shah should develop marketing strategies that allow him to act quickly, take advantage of opportunities before competitors do and respond to business threats before significant damage is done to the business.

Recommend any TWO (2) promotional tools of social media and its advantages in promoting his products to the target marketplace.

7. Assume you have completed a capital budgeting analysis of building a new plant on land you own, and the project's NPV is $100 million. You now realize that instead of building the plant, you could build a parking garage, and would generate a pre tax revenue of $17 million. The project would last 3 years, the corporate tax rate is 40%, and the WACC is 12%. What is the new NPV of the project, after incorporating the effect of the opportunity cost?

A Swedish investor having a portfolio of Swedish and American stocks. Their respective benchmarks are the OMX index and the S&P index. There have been no movements during the year (cash flows, sales, or purchases, dividends paid). Valuation and performance analysis is done in Swedish krona (SKr). Here are the valuations at the start and the end of the year:

1. What is the total return on the portfolio?   
2. Decompose this return into capital gain, yield, and currency contribution.

3. What is the contribution of security selection?

Species-area relationships were assessed for reptile species on two sets of islands in different regions of the Indian Ocean. The estimated parameters were as follows: Region 1: c=1.6, z=0.25; Region 2: c=1.8, z=0.35. It is expected that 40% of the reptile habitat will be lost to development pressure over the next decade.

In which region do you expect the loss of reptile species to be greatest, and by how much? Show your work and explain your answer. (3 pts)

b) A different group of species is then assessed on islands in the first region, and the estimated parameters for this species group are c=2.5, z=0.29. What can you conclude about:

i) species richness of this group relative to the reptiles in this region? Why? (1 pts)

ii) the range size of this group relative to the reptiles in this region? Why? (1 pts)

As the conservation officer for Region 2, you were the person tasked with determining the species-area relationship of reptiles in the region. Explain how you came up with the estimates of c=1.8 and z=0.35 (3 pts)

Zoe is trying to decide how to divide her time between her job as a wedding photographer, which pays $40 per hour for as many hours as she chooses to work, and as a rock collector, in which case her pay depends both on the price of the rocks and the number of them she finds. These are special rocks so they have value! Earnings aside, Zoe is indifferent between the two jobs.   The number of rocks she can expect to find depends on the number of hours she searches:

The marginal cost of spending one hour hunting for rocks is equal to $________ .

If the price per rock is $10 then the marginal benefit of spending one hour hunting for rocks is equal to $______ .

If the price per rock is $20, then her best choice is to spend ______ hours hunting for rocks.

If the price per rock falls to $10 then her best choice is to spend ________ hours hunting for rocks.
