Recently Boeing has maintained a cash balance of over $10 billion. At an annual inflation rate of about 2 percent, does cash have more or less purchasing power at the end of a given year than at the beginning? By how much? Is such a gain or loss reflected on the company’s financial statements? Why or why not? Why would Boeing want to keep its cash balance as low as possible? Why doesn’t the company reduce its cash balance to zero?

Identify the feasible region for the following set of constraints:

0.5A + 0.25B > 30

1A + 5B >250

0.25A + 0.5B < 50

A, B >0

The demand function is Q = 100 –.5P. The cost function is TC = C = 100 + 60(Q) +(Q)2

a. Find MR and MC.

Suppose the price of coffee beans increases by $0.20 per pound. What is the effect of this raw material price increase on the demand for roasted coffee? If one pound produces 50 cups of coffee, would the price of a cup of coffee rise by $0.01?Explain.

A tissue manufacturer that has the fourth-largest market share plans to experiment with a 50 cents-off coupon during November and a “buy one, get one free” coupon during December. The experiment will take place at Target stores in St. Louis and Kansas City. Sales will be recorded by scanners from which mean tissue sales for each store for each month can be computed and interpreted. Write a paper in which you construct a valid, simple experiment to assess the cause and effect relationship of the price promotions.
