What are ten powers that the Constitution ascribes to government in order to regulate and promote economic relations.

There is a joke among economists that children are an “inferior good.”? In many countries there appears to be a negative relationship between income and the number
children in a household. That is to say, higher income households tend to have fewer children than lower income households. Do you think this is true in the United
States? Do you think this is true in other countries?

An investment advisor plans a portfolio for Julia, a highly risk-averse retired widow. Julia’s portfolio consists of 60% bonds and 40% blue chip stocks. This
portfolio is estimated to have an expected return of 7% with a standard deviation of 10.5%. What is the probability of losing more than 3.5% in a year (that is, r
= -3.5%)? The return of the portfolio is believed to be approximately normal.

Suppose that you are at a business meeting and you ask your staff to determine what it costs your firm to produce one more unit of your product. You have just
asked your staff to determine your: a) unit cost b) average cost c) implicit cost d) marginal cost e) average fixed cost

Chapter 13, E 16. 1. Current market value of the bonds calculated Present value of 20 periodic payments at 4% (8% / 2) x = Present value of a single payment at the
end of 20 periods with interest compounded semiannually at 4% (8% / 2) $350,000 x = Market value (total present value) of bond issue

4. Suppose a public referendum is being held on whether or not to levy a tax on cigarettes. Currently, the supply of cigarettes is given by Qs = -105 + 20P. You
estimate the demand for cigarettes to be Qd = 120 – 5P.

You are asked to evaluate the likely effects of a tax on cigarettes equal to $1 per pack of cigarettes. Specifically, you are to file a report which predicts
by how much this will reduce the amount of cigarettes sold. You are also asked to estimate the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the cigarette
companies (sellers), and the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the smokers (consumers) of cigarettes.

To do this, you will first need to calculate the current price and quantity of cigarettes sold.

a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of cigarettes?

Next you know from your economics class that you will need to know the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes. (Note: for
parts b-e, please leave your answers in the form of a fraction.)

b) What is the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes at the equilibrium price?

c) What is the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes at the equilibrium price?

Using your answers to b) and c), you are now able to determine what proportion of the tax will be paid by buyers, and what proportion of the tax will be paid
by sellers.

d) What proportion of the tax will be paid by sellers?

e) What price will buyers pay after the tax is imposed?

f) What quantity of cigarettes will be sold after the tax??

Finally, a new proposal suggests that the tax should be levied on the cigarette companies instead of the smokers.

g) From what you have learned in this class, how should you respond to this proposal?

how is the search industry changing? What forces seem most likely to bring about major change to the industry within the next three to five years?

A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Tow alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the
associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $40,000 for A and $30,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $10 for A and $11
for B; and revenue per unit would be $15. A. Determine each alternatives break-even point in units. B. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield
the same profit? C. If expected annual demand is 12,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit? Please show all work.

Suppose that a firm maximizes its total profits and has a marginal cost (MC) of production of $8 and the price elasticity of demand for the product it sells is
(-3). Find the price at which the firm sells the product.

What I need you to do is read the case: THE HUNT FOR SEASONAL WORKERS CROSSES BORDERS, article and answer the question below it. There should be an Introduction,
follow by the answer to all three question separate you answer for example there should be and only for question and so on end with Summary and Conclusions Every
summer, High Sierra Pools needs lifeguards, and the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs adds 500 employees to its staff of 1,200 to handle the peak season. As the
tourist season heats up on Cape Cod, Bubala’s by the Bay needs extra restaurant workers. For these and other companies in the resort and hospitality industry, the
seasonal rise in demand for workers creates an annual labor shortage. The peak in the demand for labor is too steep to handle with overtime, and the type of work
can’t be outsourced to dishwashers or lifeguards in another location. The main option for employers is to find workers who want a summer job. In the past, summer
jobs were filled with high school and college students. Today, however, more students are looking for internships or jobs related to their career plans. Many
high-schoolers are trying to improve their college prospects by taking courses or signing up for travel and service projects. Academic years now often start in
August, so students aren’t available through Labor Day. As a result, resort and pool owners have found it nearly impossible to fill seasonal jobs, even after
boosting wages. High Sierra, for example, tried running newspaper ads in regions of then United States where unemployment was high, as well as recruiting students
from swim teams. Such efforts largely failed. The solution for High Sierra, the Broadmoor, Bubala’s, and other seasonal employers has come from other countries.
These companies have begun recruiting seasonal workers to come to the United States under a visa program called H-2B, which admits foreign workers for jobs lasting
up to six months. Employers wishing to hire these workers must obtain approval by filing applications with the Department of Labor, Department of State, and
Department of Homeland Security and must prove they cannot fill their jobs with American workers. To be considered for an H-2B visa, the foreign workers must show
they have binding ties to their own countries so that they will return home when the visa expires. High Sierra’s first H-2B hires came from Germany. As economic
conditions made it more attractive for young Germans to stay in Europe, the company began pushing its recruiting efforts farther east. Recently, High Sierra found
most of its lifeguards in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Kazakhstan. To recruit employees in these countries, the company’s Web career pages are
available in several languages (with links from the countries’ flags). The career pages explain to young recruits and their parents how the company will help them
with housing, health care, and other needs in America. In a recent year, half of the company’s 500 temporary workers were foreigners. 146 PART 2 Acquiring and
Preparing Human Resources These employees put in far more than half the needed hours, as they preferred to work 60 hours a week to earn overtime pay. The
Broadmoor’s H-2B workers come mostly from Jamaica. Many return year after year, so they are already trained when they arrive. Jamaican workers also staff Bubala’s
by the Bay, working as sous chefs, line cooks, and dishwashers. The restaurant’s general manager says, “We can’t operate our business without these guys at all.”?
One downside of this option for combating a labor shortage is that it is subject to changing government policies. The federal government sets a limit, or cap, on
the number of H-2B visas that may be issued each year. At the time this case was written, the number of H-2B visas that may be issued was 66,000 per year. Congress
temporarily allowed businesses to obtain visas for returning workers who previously had received H-2B visas without counting those workers against the cap.
However, that temporary provision expired. Businesses that relied on workers with H-2B visas have lobbied Congress to extend the provision for returning workers;
but unless they succeed, they must find new solutions for their labor shortage if they cannot fill all their vacant positions before the visa cap is reached.
