Answer:

It should give 15 haircut

And maximum profit will be 112.5

Explanation:

It is given total cost TC=0.5Q^2

Corresponding marginal cost MC = Q

For maximizing profit P = MC

Assuming market price of haircut Q = 15

So it should give 15 haircut

So P = MC = Q = 15

Profit is equal to

Profit = PQ - TC

=15\times 15-0.5\times 15^2

=112.5

An investor is considering two investment, an office building and bonds. He can only invest on of them. The possible return from
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in office building.

expected return:

$50,000 x 0.3 = $15,000

$60,000 x 0.2 = $12,000

$80,000 x 0.1 = $8,000

$10,000 x 0.3 = $3,000

<u>$0 x 0.1 = $0                      </u>

expected return = $38,000

$50,000 - $38,000 = -$12,000² = $144,000,000

$60,000 - $38,000 = -$22,000² = $484,000,000

$80,000 - $38,000 = -$42,000² = $1,764,000,000

$10,000 - $38,000 = -$28,000² = $784,000,000

<u>$0 - $38,000 = -$38,000² = $1,444,000,000         </u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.3 x $144,000,000) + (0.2 x $484,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,764,000,000) + (0.3 x $784,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,444,000,000) = $43,200,000 + $96,200,000 + $176,400,000 + $235,200,000 + $144,400,000 = $695,400,000

standard deviation = √$895,800,000 = $26,370

2) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in bonds.

expected return:

$30,000 x 0.4 = $12,000

<u>$40,000 x 0.6 = $24,000   </u>

expected return = $36,000

$30,000 - $36,000 = -$6,000² = $36,000,000

<u>$40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000² = $16,000,000</u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.4 x $36,000,000) + (0.6 x $16,000,000) = $14,400,000 + $9,600,000 = $24,000,000

standard deviation = √$24,000,000 = $4,899

3) Based on the expected return we should choose investing in a building, but if we consider the variance and the standard deviation of the investments, I would choose investing in bonds. The difference in expected returns is not that large (only $2,000) but the variance and standard deviations of investing in the office buildings is quite large, meaning that the risk is very high.
