The document provides answers to homework questions about economics. It includes:
- Directions for submitting homework assignments
- Details about an excise tax on ice cream and how it impacts supply/demand and prices

- An example about international trade in glow-in-the-dark golf balls and the impact of tariffs and import quotas
This document provides answers to homework questions related to economics. It includes:
1) Answers to questions about production possibilities frontiers and opportunity costs for four individuals splitting time between fishing and gathering coconuts.
2) Answers to questions about an island economy with four individuals splitting time between catching jellyfish and collecting seaweed using limited oxygen tanks. The questions analyze opportunity costs, absolute and comparative advantage, and joint production possibilities.
3) A table summarizing the effects of various scenarios on market equilibrium prices and quantities through shifts to demand and supply curves.
4) Analysis of the gasoline market in a county, including derivation of linear demand and supply functions, equilibrium calculations, and impacts of a pipeline
This document provides solutions to homework problems in an economics course. It addresses questions about indifference curves, demand curves, elasticity, and consumer choice. For question 1, the summary discusses how indifference curves can slope upward if one good is "bad" and consumers prefer less of it. For question 3, it summarizes that Janelle will spend all her budget on gas mileage while Brian will spend equal amounts on styling and gas mileage. For question 9, it states that if prices increase 10% for computer chips and disk drives, chip sales will fall 20% while being elastic, and drive sales will fall 10%, keeping revenue the same.
The document is a homework assignment for an economics course that provides answers to multiple questions about concepts such as price elasticity of demand, equilibrium price and quantity, changes in supply curves, and cross-price elasticities. It is a detailed response that includes calculations and explanations for each question. The key points are that demand is inelastic when quantity decreases from 40 to 35 units; a 10% price decrease leads to a 20% increase in quantity demanded; and increases in production costs lower equilibrium price and quantity while reducing total expenditure.
This document provides an introduction to linear programming concepts and techniques. It begins with definitions of linear programming and its key components: decision variables, objective function, and constraints. It then provides two examples to demonstrate how to formulate real-world problems as linear programs. The first example formulates a lumber mill problem to maximize daily net revenue by determining the optimal number of pallets and lumber to produce. This helps illustrate the steps of identifying variables, defining the objective function, and specifying constraints.
The document discusses three approaches to organizational learning: management training, management development, and organizational development. It provides definitions and examples of each:
1) Management training aims to make managers more alike by instilling shared values and skills, while management development legitimizes individual differences by providing career counseling and personal growth experiences.
2) Organizational development is a planned process of cultural change using behavioral science to improve the organization's effectiveness, with a focus on how individuals and groups interface rather than just individual growth.
3) The approaches can be complementary, with one often evolving into another, but the choice depends on the type of change needed - reducing differences, developing individuals, or enhancing group collaboration.
This document summarizes chapter 2 of an economics textbook on supply and demand. It provides exercises for students to calculate price elasticities of demand and supply using tables of quantity supplied and demanded at different prices. It also asks students to derive linear supply and demand curves from information provided about equilibrium price and quantity, price elasticities, and how quantity changes with price. The exercises help students understand the basics of supply and demand analysis and how to represent competitive markets using supply and demand models.
Organizations and information systems have a two-way relationship where the needs of the organization influence system design and systems can influence the organization. This relationship is mediated by factors like culture, structure, and management decisions. Organizations can be viewed technically as entities that process resources into outputs or behaviorally as collections of rights and responsibilities balanced through conflict resolution. All organizations develop routines, politics, and cultures that information systems must account for when being implemented. Organizations exist within environments that shape and are shaped by the organization through information systems.
