You and your friends love to go fishing. There is a sporting goods store in your neighborhood that sells a fishing pole for $82 but costs the store $60, and a fully stocked tackle box that sells for $58 but costs $40. Assuming the mark-up policy is linear, determine the equation that relates price (P) to cost (C). Following this same mark-up policy for other items, what would be the price of a pair of waders which cost the company $80?

You are the County Commissioner of Hazard County. Recently a severe wave of storms swept across Hazard County, spawning several tornadoes and creating a wide path of mayhem. The citizens of Hazard County are demanding that you do something to protect them. You decide to install some early warning tornado sirens. However, there is no money left in the county budget, so you ask each citizen to donate some money to build the system. Many citizens donate money to help build the warning system; however, Ms. Nancy, who is wealthy, decides she is not going to donate. The early warning sirens are an example of a and Ms. Nancy represents a Public goods are in rivalry and in excludability. What approach would be the least effective way to deal with free riders? OA. Appeal to their civic sense of responsibility. OB. Exclude citizens from benefiting from the good or service. OC. Threaten to expose the free riders to their neighbors. OD.

Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $102 for the skirt: Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Skirt (Minutes) (Dollars per skirt) Local Department Store 15 102 Across Town 30 85 Neighboring City 60 76 Juanita makes $42 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $42 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
The regular air fare between Boston and San Francisco is 419. An airline using planes on this route observes that they fly with an average of 236 passengers. Market research tells the airlines’ managers that each $7 fare reduction would attract, on average, 3 more passengers for each flight. How should they set the fare to maximize their revenue?
Problem 6 Casper consumes cocoa and cheese. Cocoa is sold in an unusual way. There is only one supplier, and the more cocoa you buy from him, the higher the price you have to pay per unit. In fact y units of cocoa will cost Casper y² dollars (i.e. the price of y units is y dollars, hence the quadratic cost). Cheese is sold in the usual way at a price of 2 dollars per unit. Casper's income is 20 dollars and his utility function is U(x, y) = x+2y, where z is his consumption of cheese and y is his consumption of cocoa. a. Sketch Casper's budget set and shade it in. b. Sketch some of his indifference curves and label the optimal bundle that he chooses. c. Calculate the amount of cheese and the amount of cocoa that Casper demands at these prices and this income, i.e. calculate the optimal bundle. (Recall that you can find the slope of any curve using the Total Differential, i.e. the MRS formula works in general)
