A small airline, Ivy Air, flies between three cities: Ithaca (a small town in upstate New York), Newark (an eyesore in beautiful New Jersey), and Boston (a yuppie town in Massachusetts). They offer several flights but, for this problem, let us focus on the Friday afternoon flight that departs from Ithaca, stops in Newark, and continues to Boston. There are three types of passengers:(a) Those traveling from Ithaca to Newark (god only knows why).(b) Those traveling from Newark to Boston (a very good idea).(c) Those traveling from Ithaca to Boston (it depends on who you know).The aircraft is a small commuter plane that seats 30 passengers. The airline offers three fare classes:(a) Y class: full coach.(b) B class: nonrefundable.(c) M class: nonrefundable, 3-week advanced purchase. Ticket prices, which are largely determined by external influences (i. e., competitors), have been set and advertised as follows: Ithaca-Newark Newark-Boston Ithaca-BostonY 300 160 360B 220 130 280M 100 80 140Based on past experience, demand forecasters at Ivy Air have determined the following upper bounds on the number of potential customers in each of the 9 possible origin-destination/fare class combinations: Ithaca-Newark Newark-Boston Ithaca-BostonY 4 8 3B 8 13 10M 22 20 18The goal is to decide how many tickets from each of the 9 origin/ destination/ fare-class combinations to sell. The constraints are that the place cannot be overbooked on either the two legs of the flight and that the number of tickets made available cannot exceed the forecasted maximum demand. The objective is to maximize the revenue. Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem.

Cardinal company is considering a project that would require a $2,725,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years. at the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would be sold for its salvage value of $400,000. the company’s discount rate is 14%. the project would provide net operating income each year as follows: sales $2,867,000 variable expenses 1,125,000 contribution margin 1,742,000 fixed expenses: advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $706,000 depreciation 465,000 total fixed expenses 1,171,000 net operating income $571,000 1. which item(s) in the income statement shown above will not affect cash flows? (you may select more than one answer. single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.) (a)sales (b)variable expenses (c) advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs expenses (d) depreciation expense 2. what are the project’s annual net cash inflows? 3.what is the present value of the project’s annual net cash inflows? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) 4.what is the present value of the equipment’s salvage value at the end of five years? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) 5.what is the project’s net present value? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

6. why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run in the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. several theories explain how this might happen. for example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. if the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by the quantity of soybeans supplied. if other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to the natural level of output in the short run.
