2) consider supply and demand for maine lobsters indicated in the following tables to answer questions from a–e below. suppose that the supply schedule of maine lobsters is as follows: price of lobster per pound maine quantity of lobster supplied (pounds) $25 800 $20 700 $15 600 $10 500 $5 400 first, assume that maine lobsters can be sold only in the united states. the u. s. demand schedule for maine lobsters is as follows: price of lobster per pound usa quantity of lobster demanded (pounds) $25 200 $20 400 $15 600 $10 800 $5 1,000 a. looking at both the schedules of supply and demand, as well as the graph of the demand and supply curve for maine lobsters, what is the equilibrium price of lobsters and the equilibrium quantity of lobsters demanded and supplied at that price? the equilibrium price of maine lobsters is $15 per pound, and the equilibrium quantity is 600. b. second, suppose that maine lobsters can also be sold in france. the french demand schedule for maine lobsters is as follows: price of lobster per pound quantity of lobster demanded (pounds) $25 100 $20 300 $15 500 $10 700 $5 900 c. what is the demand schedule for maine lobsters now that french consumers can also buy them? d. using the combined u. s. and french demand schedule, the u. s. demand schedule and the supply schedule, and the graph below, analyze the change in the market for lobsters. what will happen to the price at which fishermen can sell lobster? what will be the final output of lobsters?

United continental holdings, inc., (ual), operates passenger service throughout the world. the following data (in millions) were adapted from a recent financial statement of united. sales (revenue) $38,901 average property, plant, and equipment 17,219 average intangible assets 8,883 1. compute the asset turnover. round your answer to two decimal places.

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.

You are considering purchasing a company — assets, liabilities, warts, and all. you are aware that sometimes liabilities do not always show up on the balance sheet. discuss five examples of liabilities that may not be explicitly recognized on the balance sheet, making sure to explain why they are liabilities.
