1. A news magazine offers students a discount on the regular subscription rate. The total number of subscriptions is optimal, and, at the current prices, the marginal revenue from the last subscription sold to a student is $6, while the marginal revenue from the last subscription sold to a regular customer is $10. In order to maximize profit, the magazine should a. stop offering students a discount on the regular subscription rate. b. offer students a higher discount (lower the price to students). *c. offer students a lower discount (raise the price to students). d. offer all customers the same discount received by the students. 2. A drugstore offers a discount on prescriptions to senior citizens. This suggests that the absolute value of elasticity of demand for senior citizens is a. greater than one. b. less than one. c. greater than the elasticity of demand for other customers. d. less than the elasticity of demand for other customers. 3. Consider a profit maximizing price discriminator who sells to two groups. If the marginal cost of production is $10, and the elasticity of demand for group 1 is -1.5, the elasticity of demand for group 2 is -2.5, and the price paid by group 1 is $15, the price for group 2 is a. Impossible to tell. b. $8.33. c. $27. d. $15. Hint: profit maximization tells you that MR1 = MR2 . We know that MR=P(1 + 1/ε}. We can find MR1 from the information give, Set this equal to MR2 and solve for P2. 4. A multimarket price discriminator sells its product in Florida for three times the price it sets in New York. Assuming the firm faces the same constant marginal cost in each market and the price elasticity of demand in New York is -2.0, the demand in Florida a. has an elasticity of -6.0. b. is more price elastic than the demand in New York. *c. has an elasticity of -1.2. d. has an elasticity of -0.67. 5. Suppose all individuals are identical, and their monthly demand for Internet access from a certain leading provider can be represented as P = 5

    Leonardo DaVinci’s Mona Lisa is one of the most well-known paintings in the world. Show anyone from a 60 year old man to a 10 year old girl a picture of the painting and, most likely, they will be able to name the painting as well as the painter. While some say that DaVinci’s painting is the most famous of all created, many of Andy Warhol’s paintings are also easily recognizable. Almost everyone has seen the Campbell’s Soup Can series Warhol painted or his famous Triple Elvis print. This paper will be focusing on his Marilyn Monroe series, which I will be comparing and contrasting to the Mona Lisa. There are many obvious differences between the two paintings, such as the time period, color scheme, background and subject matter. My goal is to also point out some similarities such as their use of line, recreations, fame, and prominence in society.…

    Throughout time the Greek community has had to put up with the assumptions that society has about them. Stereotypes include partying until the break of dawn, drinking like there’s no tomorrow, and hazing their new members in order as a requirement to join. Watching movies over the years that are about Fraternities and Sororities put that image about Greek Life into my head, because most movies interpret them to act a certain way. Yet not many know that Greeks each have their own philanthropy, a charity of their choice, to which they raise money for. Is Hollywood part of the reason why Greeks have fallen under that cliché? This is why I decided to look further into this topic due to the fact that I wanted to see if Hollywood has this ability to have a negative outlook on Greek Life.…

    Shakespeare did a great job in making the historical ruler Julius Caesar and the Shakespeare Julius sound like the same person. Julius Caesar full name is Gaius Julius Caesar and his parents are Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was one of the most memorable rulers of ancient Rome. He helped all the nobles get their own land and jobs by redistributing everything. I believe he helped the nobles because his family was always wealthy so he knew how the nobles felt. In 85 BCE, Caesar’s father pasted way. A couple years after his father died he had gotten married had children and been a part of a military legate, where he was awarded the civic crown.…

    In order to elucidate the role of public administration in policy making and implementation, it is germane to refer to L.D. White’s definition of public administration, for this will provide us with a general understanding of what constitutes the role of public administration in policy making and implementation. According to White, public administration “consists of all those operations having for their purpose the fulfilment of enforcement of public policies as declared by the competent authority.” By this definition, public administration is synonymous with policy making and implementation.…

    The conservative statistics from the FBI’s uniform crime reports that 1.5 million women in America are victims of rape or rape attempts during the 20-year period between 1972 and 1991. The Census Bureau’s larger number of 2.3 million rapes is in the 15-year period between 1938 and 1937. Rape is notoriously underreported. In the 1992 study conducted by the National Victim Center and the Crime Victims Research and Treatment Centers concludes that only about one out of six rapes were reported. Thus, the number of rapes between 1972 and 1991 may be closer to nine million.…
