Once a week, Smith purchases a six-pack of cola and puts it in his refrigerator for his two children. He invariably discovers that all six cans are gone on the first day. Jones also purchases a six-pack of cola once a week for his two children, but unlike Smith, he tells them that each may drink no more than three cans. If the children use cost-benefit analysis each time they decide whether to drink a can of cola, explain why the cola lasts much longer at Jones's house than at Smith's.

Answer:

Jones purchases a six-pack of cola once a week for his two children, but unlike Smith, he tells them that each may drink no more than three cans.

Explanation:

Cost-benefit analysis is defined as a method to estimate all the costs involved and possible profits that can be achieved in a business opportunity.

Jones purchases a six-pack of cola once a week for his two children, but unlike Smith, he tells them that each may drink no more than three cans.

So, at Smith's house, there's always a chance that one of the siblings will drink the cola before the other.

Therefore,

cola can lasts much longer at Jones's house than at Smith's.

Concord Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Concord also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Concord enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,360 and chooses Concord to do the installation. Concord charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $620.

With the snow season fast approaching us, Jack Frost, age 15, is considering his income-generating alternatives. Jack runs a snow removal business. He employs his friends at $10.00 per hour to clear sidewalks and driveways for neighbors, family friends, and fellow townsfolk. Last year, he had ten regular customers whose walks were shoveled 14 times each over the course of the winter. All told, Jack paid his friends $2,100 for their work for him this winter. Jack is considering the purchase of a used snowblower, which he believes will reduce the amount of time it takes his crew to complete a job to only 45 minutes. The snowblower will cost $1,176 (and will probably be worthless after one year of use), and will consume about $0.50 worth of gasoline and oil per use (per snow removal job). Given that Jack had no fixed costs, what was Jack's total cost function for last year?a. TC = 15Q b. TC = 100 c. TC = 11760 d. TC=0.5Q
