- Hello, I am having issues solving this practice problem.arrow_forwardFor this discussion, assume the role of CEO of one of the following hypothetical companies: All America Grocery Inc. We serve communities in the middle of the income market, providing low prices for all basic grocery needs. Our modest-income consumers expect good deals on good quality foods. The Covid-19 pandemic has put upward pressure on the price of everything we sell. Cost-push inflation from multiple sources is impacting our operating cost and our cost of goods. We are both fortunate and unfortunate that the price elasticity of demand for food is .20. In your discussion post, address the following prompts within the context of your chosen hypothetical company of which you are the CEO: Is the demand curve for your product relatively elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic? Demonstrate this for your company's product by how much the quantity demanded will change if you pass on the 10% increase in cost. In other words, prepare a forecast showing by what percentage the quantity…arrow_forwardHow can machine learning be used to analyze data-filled Excel spreadsheets? Let's say you're sitting on a spreadsheet with hundreds of open-ended responses from a recent customer survey. Getting insights from a batch like that will mean hours of manual work. Sorting each answer by topic and overall sentiment will prove to be a cumbersome task. And, in the meantime, urgent matters may come up that require your team's attention. A machine learning model can take care of this analysis in an easy, fast, and consistent way. Having a model analyzing your Excel spreadsheets automatically can save your team hours of valuable time and productivity. Additionally, machine learning models can take care of large spreadsheets in a matter of seconds, scaling your team's productivity upwards. This Al Economics Project will show you how to analyze data-filled Excel spreadsheet for Business Intelligence. Depending on the quality of the answer, you are awarded up to 20-32 points for each assignment. Any…arrow_forward
- model of a firm that produces final goods using R&D and components as inputs, with cost data as follows:Assembly: Total cost of production = PAQA = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = WHHA = 100Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = WLLA = 200Earnings of Capital = RKA = 100R&D: Total cost of production = PRQR = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = WHHR = 175Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = WLLR = 125Earnings of Capital = RKR = 100A) In which factor(s) is assembly intensive? In which factor(s) is R&D intensive?B) Suppose that due to the opening of trade, the price of assembly falls by ∆PA/PA = −20%, the price of R&D remains unchanged, ∆PR/PR = 0%, and capital’s share earnings remains constant.C) What has happened to the relative wage of high-skilled/low-skilled labor? Does this match the predictions of the offshoring model?arrow_forwardOne study presented in the text calculated the cost per life-year saved for various medical interventions. For each of the scenarios that follow, determine whether the scenario represents diminishing marginal product of medical care. If it does, determine whether the diminishing marginal product is on the extensive or intensive margin. Please completely explain your answer to each scenario. a) Intervention: Pap Smear, Starting at the Age of 20, Continuing to 74. Every 3 years, compared to not screening: Cost per life year saved = $36,017 Every 2 years, compared to every 3 years: Cost per life year saved = $711,671 b) Intervention: Hypertension Screening 40-year-old males: Cost per life year saved: $41,279 40-year-old females: Cost per life year saved: $63,333arrow_forwardplease answer within 30 minutes.arrow_forward
