Westerville Company reported the following results from last year’s operations:

At the beginning of this year, the company has a $200,000 investment opportunity with the following cost and revenue characteristics:

The company’s minimum required rate of return is 10%.

What is the residual income of this year’s investment opportunity?

If the company pursues the investment opportunity and otherwise performs the same as last year, what residual income will it earn this year?

Suppose that there are only two small countries in the​ world: Ascot, with a population of 29,400 ​people, and​ Delwich, with a population of 21,000 people.​ Ascot's GDP is equal to ​$150 million while​ Delwich's GDP is ​$210 million.​ Delwich's GNP has been estimated to be equal to ​$240 million. The revenue earned by firms that operate in Delwich but are headquartered in Ascot is equal to ​$60 million.

Given the data​ above, Ascot's GNP is ​$___ million. ​(Enter your response as an integer​.)

In​ Ascot, the per capita GDP is ​$___. ​(Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar​.)

In​ Delwich, the per capita GNP is ​$___. ​(Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar​.)

2. Given a firm's demand function Q-90+2P=0 and its average cost function
AC= Q2-39.5Q+120+(125/Q)
find the level of output (Q) which
a) Maximizes Total Revenue
b) Minimizes Marginal Cost
c) Maximizes Profits.
3. A monopolistic firm has the following demand functions for each of its products X and Y:
X=72-0.5Px Y=120-Py
The combined cost function is C=X2+XY+Y+35. The maximum production capacity is 40 and given by X+Y=40. Find the profit maximizing levels of output, prices and profit.

The inverse demand function of specific commodity is given by ??(??) = ?20?? + 1400, where ?? and ?? are the price and quantity of the commodity, respectively.

a- Determine the maximum consumption.

b- If the price is $500 per unit, calculate consumption, consumers’ gross surplus, consumers’ net surplus, and the revenue collected by the producers.

c- If the price increases 40%, calculate change in demand and lost surplus for the consumers.

d- What is the consumers’ elasticity? Is it elastic or inelastic?

e- If the price rises by 3%, the quantity demanded falls by 1.5%.

f- If the elasticity of demand for a commodity were estimated to be 1.5, then a decrease in price from $2.0 to $1.90 would be expected to increase daily sales by how much?

Use the following information on the supply and demand for oil in the hypothetical country Olympus to answer the questions below. Assume that the demand and supply curves are linear.

60             460                 280

80             440                 320

100             420                 360

120             400                 400

140             380                 440

1. Assume that the world price of oil is $80 per barrel. Assume that Olympus is a small country and that Olympus imposes a $20 per barrel tariff on imported oil. Calculate the effect of the tariff on

a. The change in producer surplus

b. The change in consumer surplus

c. Government tariff revenue

d. Consumption distortion loss

Three mutually exclusive​ earth-moving pieces of equipment are being considered for several large building projects in India over the next five years. The estimated cash flows for each alternative are given below. The construction​ company's MARR is 18% per year. Which of the three​ alternatives, if​ any, should be​ adopted? Assume repeatability is appropriate for this comparison.

The AW of the Caterpillar is $____.(Round to the nearest​ dollar.)

Your consulting firm was just granted an exclusive contract for Vanda-Laye Corporation. You now must decide your pricing policy. The firm will encounter no fixed costs, and all revenue is after taxes. As your firm has been granted an exclusive contract, your pricing and output decisions will be those of a monopolist. Tasks: Analyze what a monopolist is and the effects it could have on the consulting firm. Evaluate if any antitrust policies need to be put into place. How will your pricing policy be justified? Explain the implications of increasing the price you will charge Vanda-Laye Corporation verses what it was previously charged. with references apa please

               Electricity distribution in upstate New York is provided by only one firm, NYSEG.   Demand for electricity is characterized by P=31-Q_D, and NYSEG has a total cost function TC(Q)=72+Q+2Q^2, and a marginal cost function MC(Q_D )=1+4Q.

a. What is NYSEG’s marginal revenue equation?

b. What is the quantity and price NYSEG will choose? Show your math for full credit.

c. Will NYSEG be able to operate in the market in the short run? What about the long run? Explain briefly.

d. What is the barrier that allows for NYSEG to operate as a monopoly? Explain briefly.  

A municipality operates buses is considering updating its fleet. Managers want your recommendation to best meet the public transportation demand in the area. A consultant company estimated the revenue and cost functions appropriate to evaluate existing operations were TR = 215Q –3Q²and TC = 35Q + 1.5Q². Construct an Excel spreadsheet using those equations with quantities between 1 and 25. Identify the number of buses you would recommend to meet those criteria and the optimum price of each bus. After you have constructed the Excel spreadsheet to do this analysis, identify a more straightforward process that you would suggest.
