Smelling of Tulips, Inc., a perfume company, estimated its short-run costs using a U-shaped average variable cost function of the form and obtained the following results. Total fixed cost (TFC) at S.T. Inc. is $1290. Adjusted R Square 0.809 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept 47.66 3.29 14.49 0.0001 Q -4.67 0.72 -6.48 0.0000 Q^2 0.26 0.03 7.79 0.0000 a. What level of output (Q) is associated with the minimum AVC

Answer:

The level of output (Q) is associated with the minimum AVC is 8.98.

Explanation:

The following sorted data are given in the question:

Adjusted R Square 0.809

                       Coefficients        Standard Error      t Stat      P-value

Intercept               47.66                      3.29              14.49        0.0001

   Q                        -4.67                      0.72              -6.48        0.0000

 Q^2                       0.26                      0.03               7.79        0.0000

From the regression results above, the regression equation for AVC can be obtained as follows:

AVC = Coefficient of intercept + Coefficient of Q * Q + Coefficient of Q^2 * Q^2 …………. (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

AVC = 47.66 – 4.67Q + 0.26Q^2

Differentiate AVC with respect to Q, equating it to 0, and solve for Q, we have:

dAVC/dQ = -4.67 + (2 * 0.26)Q = 0

4.67 = 0.52Q

Q = 4.67 / 0.52

Q = 8.98

Therefore, the level of output (Q) is associated with the minimum AVC is 8.98.

C Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $808,200 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $141,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,800. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,800. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice 11.28% 5.28% 6.52% 16.88%

A hospital needs 2,900 units of a medicine throughout the year. The purchasing cost varies with the size of the order. If the number of units of the medicine that the hospital orders is below 100, the supplier charges $30 per unit; if it is between 100 and 499, the price is $27 each; and if they order 500 units and above, it is $26 per unit. The holding cost per unit per year is $30, as the medicine must be kept in a special device to prevent spoilage. The ordering cost is $10.

Each of the situations below represents a negative outcome of one of Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Stages. Determine which psychosocial stage resulted in each set of behaviors described below; speculate as to what circumstances may have resulted in the negative outcome; and describe what behaviors would be indicative of a positive outcome of that same stage.
1) Jason is a 14-year-old seventh grader who moved to Saint Cloud this summer from another state. He has recently been referred to the school psychologist because of concerns about both his academic performance and school behavior. A review of his school records shows that Jason repeated kindergarten and third grade. His elementary school grades were primarily S's ("Satisfactory") and N's ("Needs Improvement"). His current teachers state that they are unsure of Jason's academic skills because he typically does not turn in assignments and appears to "clown around" and not take exams and assignments seriously.
2) Brenda is a 5th-year undergraduate student. She began her post-secondary education as a nursing major at a private college, but decided she wanted to pursue a career in special education, so she transferred to a state university with a large education program. After a year, she discovered that special education was not for her, so she transferred back to the college where she had first enrolled and registered for courses in the psychology major sequence. She is now a liberal studies major and will graduate in May. Brenda has thought about applying to law schools, but recently decided she really didn't want a career in law. At this point she has no firm career plans. Rather, she had decided to work as a waitress for at least a year, and after that, who knows?
3) Carrie is a 36-year-old woman who is currently being seen for counseling at the community mental health center. Her second marriage recently ended in divorce, and she has sought counseling so that she might "find" herself and get her life "back on track." Carrie married for the first time at age 18, but she and her husband grew increasingly apart and found they had little in common, other than their two children! She remarried shortly after her first divorce as she felt "empty" being alone and thought both she and her children needed a man in the house, but that marriage also proved unsuccessful. She is now thinking of attending college, and is trying to figure out what to do "with the rest of her life."

Suppose a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) research firm is approached by the state legislature and asked to provide data about vehicle movement within the state for all cars that can be tracked with direct GPS or through the owner's smartphone. Based on the movement of the cars (and phones) over a certain time, the police can decide when a car was speeding. They intend on using this data to send speeding tickets to those who moved too far, too fast. Also, if an underage driver spends too long parked by an adult only establishment, police will be notified to investigate. If you are the research firm, would you supply the data?
