- Like many students at college, Arturo struggles to find a parking space on campus. Every year he has to buy a parking permit, which allows him to park on campus. Unfortunately, buying a permit does not guarantee that he can find a parking spot. So he often gets to campus well before class starts, hoping to find a good parking spot, but ends up driving around until someone leaves. One day after his economics class, Arturo comes up with a potential solution to the problem. He suggests the following: Suppose the demand for parking is given by the following equation: Qp = 10,000 - 500P. At Arturo's school, there are 7,000 parking spaces for students. For the questions below, give all answers to the nearest whole number. a. At most universities, students do not pay to park each day. They pay for a permit, which only allows them to park on campus. Therefore, the price students face each day is $ Unfortunately, this creates a shortage of parking spaces. b.

Jordan has been farming for thirty years and has periodically done business with KLM Grain Elevator during that time. Jordan is trying to find the best place to sell some corn he has been storing since the last harvest, so he calls around to the various elevators asking how much they would pay for 5,000 bushels of corn. KLM tells Jordan they will buy 5,000 bushels of corn for $6.00 a bushel if he brings it in by the end of the month. Jordan responds, "That sounds good. I'll see you soon." KLM sends a letter to Jordan the same day confirming his agreement to bring the 5,000 bushels in by the end of the month. Prior to delivering the corn to KLM, Jordan finds out another elevator has raised its rate and is willing to pay $6.25 a bushel. Jordan sells to that elevator instead. The end of the month comes and goes, and KLM calls Jordan asking where he is with the 5,000 bushels of corn he contracted to sell them. Jordan…arrow_forwardJames works for Peter's Computer Repair, owned & operated by Peter. As a computer technician, James has grown accustomed to friends & family members asking for assistance with their personal computers. In an effort to increase his income, James started a personal computer repair business that he operates out of his home on a part-time basis, working evenings & weekends. Because James is doing this "on the side" for family & friends, he does not want to charge as much as Peter's charges its customers. When Peter assigned James the task of developing the budget for his department, James increased the amount budgeted for computer parts. When the budget was approved, James purchased as many parts as the budget allowed, even when they were not needed. He then took the extra parts home to use in his personal business in an effort to keep his cost down & profits up. So far, no one at Peter's has asked about the expense of the parts because James has not allowed the actual…arrow_forward

Todd is in charge of all operations for the stores. While Trent is concerned with maintaining his father's legacy, Todd is concerned with quick food turnover and increased gross margins. Todd has alienated many of the employees that have worked at Berton's for years because he has cut corners on quality and health measures at each location. In 2009, Todd found a low-cost food service provider that would sell Berton's meat and vegetable products at a dramatically discounted rate from what it was currently paying. Trent and Todd had a big fight about it because Trent wanted to continue with the quality food provider Berton's had used for over 30 years. Todd negotiated a new contract anyway. Last week, the local newspaper ran an expose article reporting that Berton's Burgers served subpar meat that was made with more animal by-products and fillers than actual beef. This week, people are picketing the…arrow_forward
