Here is a list of activity times for a project as well as crashing costs for its activities. Determine which activities should be crashed and the total cost of crashing if the goal is to shorten the project by three weeks as cheaply as possible. There are three paths (top, middle and bottom). Each path contains three sequential activities which must be performed in the order they are listed (e. g., A before B, B before C). Note that Activity C is contained on both the top and middle paths. Path Activity Duration (weeks) First Crash Second Crash
Top A 5 $8 $10
B 6 7 9
C 3 14 15
Middle D 3 9 11
E 7 8 9
C 3 14 15
Bottom F 5 10 15
G 5 11 13
H 5 12 14

What would be the input, conversion and output of developing a new soft drink

Your father offers you a choice of $120,000 in 11 years or $48,500 today. use appendix b as an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. a-1. if money is discounted at 11 percent, what is the present value of the $120,000?

Suppose that two firms produce differentiated products and compete in prices. as in class, the two firms are located at two ends of a line one mile apart. consumers are evenly distributed along the line. the firms have identical marginal cost, $60. firm b produces a product with value $110 to consumers. firm a (located at 0 on the unit line) produces a higher quality product with value $120 to consumers. the cost of travel are directly related to the distance a consumer travels to purchase a good. if a consumerhas to travel a mile to purchase a good, the incur a cost of $20. if they have to travel x fraction of a mile, they incur a cost of $20x. (a) write down the expressions for how much a consumer at location d would value the products sold by firms a and b, if they set prices p_{a} and p_{b} ? (b) based on your expressions in (a), how much will be demanded from each firm if prices p_{a} and p_{b} are set? (c) what are the nash equilibrium prices?
