Tan, Chair, Dept. of Agribusiness Management Cesar B. Quicoy, Chair, Dept. of Agricultural Economics Amelia L. Bello, Chair, Dept. of Economics The College of Economics and Management (CEM) was formally created in the 996th UP-BOR meeting, February 1987. However, the College traces its roots to the Institute of Agricultural Development and Administration (IADA)which was established in 1975, with three departments – Agricultural Economics (DAE), Economics (DE), and Management (DM), and was elevated to the College of Economics and Management from the merger of IADA with the Agricultural Credit and Cooperative Studies and the Agrarian Reform Institute in 1978. At present, CEM is composed of three departments – the Department of Agricultural Economics, the Department of Economics and the Department of Agribusiness Management. The college sees itself as a center of excellence in undergraduate and graduate instruction, research and extension in economics, agricultural and applied economics, and agribusiness management in Asia. It envisions to be an institution of higher learning that can serve as an active catalyst for economic and social transformation. Its two-fold mission is to produce graduates and future leaders with strong training in economics, agricultural and applied economics, and in agribusiness...

...Dr. Mohammed Alwosabi Econ 140 – Ch. 11 Notes on Ch. 11 PERFECT COMPETITION This chapter examines the basic elements of perfect competition and the competitive firm. It examines how businesses with a given market price make production decisions that help maximizing profit. Characteristics of Perfect Competition 1. Many firms, each is selling an identical product. Each firm’s output is a perfect substitute for the output of the other firms, so the demand for each firm’s output is perfectly elastic. 2. Large number of buyers who are indifferent from whom to buy 3. No barriers (restrictions) to entry or exit; it is relatively easy to get into the business 4. Each firm produces a very small share of the total output so that no individual firm has the market power to influence the market price of the good it produces. A perfectly competitive firm is a price taker; it takes the market price as given. 5. Firms already in the industry have no advantage over new entrants 6. Complete information is available to buyers and sellers are about price, demand, and supply in the market 7. Perfectly competitive firms earn zero economic profit in the long run (only normal profit) 1 Dr. Mohammed Alwosabi Econ 140 – Ch. 11 Market demand curve vs. firm demand curve It is important to distinguish between the market demand curve and the demand curve facing a particular firm. The equilibrium market price is determined by the interaction of market demand and...

...Dr. Mohammed Alwosabi Econ 140 – Ch.2 Notes on Chapter 2 PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES FRONTIER This chapter reinforces the central themes of Chapter one by laying out the core economic model, the PPF, and using it to illustrate the concepts of scarcity, tradeoff and opportunity cost. It explains, with a model, the concepts of marginal cost and marginal benefit, introduces efficiency, and explains how we can expand production by accumulating capital and improving technology. The economic problem of allocating resources (making choices) in a situation of scarcity can be illustrated by explaining the concept of the production possibilities frontier (PPF). Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) refers to the maximum combinations of goods and services an economy can produce efficiently using its available resources and technology within a given period of time. It is the boundary between the goods and services that can be produced from those that cannot. The PPF model is a graphical illustration with the following assumptions 1. The society has a fixed amount of available common resources. i.e., the same limited resources can be used to produce either of the goods. 2. The society has a fixed amount of technology 3. Full employment of resources 4. The choice is between producing two goods: Machines and Food. All other goods and services are assumed being the same (ceteris paribus). This assumption is to allow the use of simple graphical analysis. Note that these assumptions are...

Discrete presentation is when one or more component units are reported in separate columns, in addition to those pertaining to the primary government. Blending is when the component units transactions and balances are reported as if they were part of the primary government that is, the component units funds are accounted for just as they were funds of the primary government. Blending is required when the primary government and the component units are controlled by governing boards having the same members or the component unit provides services solely to the primary government. If those conditions are not satisfied then discrete presentation is required. 5.

...Econ 101: Intro to Microeconomics Spring 2012, Handout 8 Solutions More on Monopolies 1. A monopoly faces a market demand curve given by P = 42 − Q. Its marginal cost curve is given by M C = Q. (a) Find an equation for the marginal revenue curve. Graph market demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost for this monopoly. Double the slope of the demand curve to get the MR: M R = 42 − 2Q. The graph should show a line twice as steep as the original demand curve, but with the same price intercept. Note: the “double the slope” rule only works when the equation is solved for P! (b) Find the profit-maximizing level of production for this monopolist. M R = M C to get 42 − 2Q = Q ⇒ Q = 14. (c) What price will the monopolist charge? Plug the Q from part (b) into the demand curve: P = 42 − 14 = $28. (d) Is marginal revenue equal to price? Why or why not? Marginal revenue is less than price because the price effect (an increase in price per unit tends to increase total revenue) and the quantity effect (an increase in the price per unit tends to decrease the quantity sold, which lowers total revenue) move in opposite directions. (e) What price would be socially optimal? 1 Econ 101: Intro to Microeconomics Spring 2012, Handout 8 Solutions Socially optimal price where M C = P ⇒ Q = 42 − Q ⇒ Q = 21 ⇒ P = 42 − 21 = $21.

F (•, •) is the aggregate production function. Note that A(t )N (t ) is commonly referred as effective labour, and technological progress that enters the production function in this fashion is known as labour-augmenting or Harrod-neutral. a) Derive the intense form (per unit of effective labour) of the production function, using the abstract production function above. b) We know the actual production function is Y (t ) = K (t )α [A(t )N (t )]1−α . (2) Denote the population growth rate as n, the depreciation rate as d, the growth rate of knowledge as д, and the saving rate as s. First derive the steady state condition for this economy (involving investment per unit of effective labour), and then solve for the steady state level of capital per unit of effective labour, k ∗ (t ). c) Given the result in b), solve for the steady state level of output per worker y ∗ (t ), and consumption per worker c ∗ (t ). 1 d) Solve for the Golden rule level of capital per worker, kG .

...Marketing Plan for Brand Roll of MarkStrat firm R Period 2 Submitted by: Zac Lennon Submitted to: The Board of Directors Executive Summary The brands performance for the first period wasn’t where we wanted it to be but we see many opportunities for this brand to grow and expand. The strength of this brand is that the performance level is higher than any of its competitors. The weakness is that this product has such a high base cost that we were forced to have such a high retail price. The plan to improve the brand performance is to do an R&D project to reduce the base cost which will allow us to make more money and to also reduce the selling price to its competitors. In return this will also put us in good standing with our primary target market and will make us the only firm with sole control of the explorer market. The performance objectives for the first period were as followed. The sales of the first period were 13,100, while we only got 8.1% of our primary target market. We understand completely that this isn’t good enough and we are doing everything in our power to fix this so it doesn’t happen again next period. Our goal for next period is to have at least 20% of the market share. We will see it is attainable because of all the changes that we will discuss with you later on this paper. I. Overview a. The brands current primary target segment is explorers. The other competitive brands in the segment are TOPS and LOOP. The brand in a way has a secondary...

...Macroeconomic Theory: Econ 2220 1 Math For Econ 2220 B 1 1.1 Shifts of a Curve vs. Movement along a Curve Parameter and variable y = f (x, a) (1) Suppose y is a function of x, and where a is a parameter, which represents the impact of other exogenous variables. Given a certain value of a, we can plot the function y = f (x, a) as a curve in a two-dimension graph. A change in x implies a movement along the curve, while a change in a means a shift of the curve. 1.2 An example Suppose the firm’s daily output, Y , depends on both the number of workers that the firm employs, N , and the number of machines that the firm uses, K. The relation between input and output is specified as the following, √ √ Y =2 K N (2) Output Y is a function of both the number of machines, K, and the number of workers, √ √ N . For example, if there are 100 machines and 4 workers, the output Y = 2 100 4 = 2 × 10 × 2 = 40. Now suppose we are concerned with the relation between output and the number of workers employed. That means that we hold the number of machines constant and study the relation between Y and N . Graphically, we plot Y against N , where N is on the horizontal axis. If we hold K constant at 100, the relation reduces to √ √ √ Y = 2 100 N = 20 N (3) It is shown as the solid curve in Figure 1. If the firm increases the number of workers employed from 4 to 9, the output would increase from 40 to 60. In the graph, the combination of Y and N moves along the solid curve...

The company employed almost 1,200 persons and had more than $200 million in sales. The marketing department’s sales forecast for the new product, see Table 1, looked promising. The numbers seemed to indicate an upper price limit of $7,500 to $8,000 and a maximum demand of approximately 30 units per week. While the lower weight and size made the new compressor attractive for certain applications, it was less rugged than the standard unit. It also required customers with standard units to carry another set of spare parts. Table 1 Sales Forecast Light Weight Compressor Price* Units per Week $5,500 $6,000 $6,500...
