A car hire company has 110 cars available for hire, which are fully booked out for the next 4 days. All cars available for hire are considered to be of similar quality (e.g. in terms of size, features, fuel consumption, etc.), so each car was hired for $120 per car per day. (Furthermore, assume for the purpose of this question that hire cars are non-transferrable, which means that customers with hire cars are unable to sell their booking for a higher price to someone who missed out on securing a hire car). The maximum a consumer was willing to pay to hire a car was $225 per car per day (where total cars hired would = 0 if the price of hiring a car was any higher). Assuming a linear demand curve, what was the consumer surplus from one day only? Answer to the nearest whole number in dollars (i.e. with no decimal places).

Please no written by hand and no emage An automobile dealer can sell 8 sedans per day at a price of $20,000 and 4 SUVs (sport utility vehicles) per day at a price of $25,000. She estimates that for each $400 decrease in price of the sedans she can sell two more per day, and for each $600 decrease in price for the SUVs she can sell one more. If each sedan costs her $16,800 and each SUV costs her $19,000, and fixed costs are $1,100 per day, what price should she charge for the sedans and the SUVs to maximize profit? [Hint: Let x be the number of $400 price decreases for sedans and y be the number of $600 price decreases for SUVs, and use the
Define the following: i) Simple interest. ii) Breakeven point. iii) Ordinary annuity. b) When the price of a commodity is Sh. 530 the unit demand is 55 units. The demand is 120 units when the price is Sh. 270. If the cost of production is C = 2q + 150, Calculate the profit when 5 units are produced and sold. c) The present value of an annuity due is Sh. 284,000 after 4 years at a discount rate of 10%. Calculate the annual payment. d) A man deposits Sh. 12,000 in a bank at the beginning of each year. The compound interest is 12% per year. Calculate how long it will take for an accumulated amount of Sh. 95,000.

Problem 4. In the design of an automobile engine part, an engineer has a choice ofeither steel casting or an aluminum alloy casting. Either machine provides the sameservice. However, the steel casting weighs 8 ounces, compared with 5 ounces for thealuminum casting. Every pound of extra weight in the automobile has been assigned apenalty of $6 to account for increased fuel consumption during the life cycle of the car.The steel casting costs $3.20 per pound, while the aluminum allow can be cast for $7.40per pound. Machining cost per casting are $5.00 for steel and $4.20 for aluminum.Which material should the engineer select, and what is the difference in unit costs? 1pound = 16 ounce

(3 points) When sold for $259,000.00, Ferraris have an annual supply of 6758 vehicles and an annual demand of 6691 vehicles. When their price increases to $279,000.00, the annual supply increases to 6913, and the demand decreases to 6010 billion gallons. (a) Assuming that the supply and demand equations are linear, Afind the supply and demand equations. Supply Equation p = Demand Equationp (Note: The equations should be in the form p = mg + b where p denotes the price (in dollars) and q denotes the quantity.
