31. Consider a worker with a utility function given by the equation U = Y , where Y is total income and U is the level of utility. Assume the individual receives no nonlabor income. 31a. Suppose that Job A pays $5 per hour and involves working 5 hours per day every day during the year. What is the level of utility the person will attain on a daily basis? What will be the average level of utility attained (per day) during the year? 31b. Suppose that Job B also pays $5 per hour but involves working 2 hours per day 50% of the year, and 8 hours per day the other 50% of the year. How many work hours will the person average (per day) during the year? 31c. What level of utility will be attained during the 2-hour days? What level of utility will be attained during the 8-hour days? What will be the average level of utility attained (per day) during the year? 31d. Will the typical worker prefer Job A or Job B? *31e. What wage must the firm with the less desirable schedule pay to just make their job comparable to the job with the more desirable schedule? What would the compensating differential be for accepting the less desirable schedule?

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
