Buck Columbus is thinking of starting a pinball palace near a large Midwestern university. Buck is an expected utility maximizer with a von Neuman-Morgenstern utility function, U(W) = 1 − (6,000/W), where W is his wealth. Buck’s total wealth is $24,000. With probability .2 the palace will be a failure and he’ll lose $18,000, so that his wealth will be just $6,000. With probability .8 it will succeed and his wealth will grow to $x. What is the smallest value of x that would be sufficient to make Buck want to invest in the pinball palace rather than have a wealth of $24,000 with certainty?

An increase in the market price of men's haircuts, from $16 per haircut to $26 per haircut, initially causes a local barbershop to have its employees work overtime to increase the number of daily haircuts provided from 20 to 25. when the $26 market price remains unchanged for several weeks and all other things remain equal as well, the barbershop hires additional employees and provides 40 haircuts per day. what is the short-run price elasticity of supply? nothing (your answer should have two decimal places.) what is the long-run price elasticity of supply? nothing (your answer should have two decimal places.)
