Consider the utility function u(x1; x2) = 10x1 x21 + x2, again with the budget constraint p1x1 + p2x2 = i. (a) for what bundles (x1; x2) is this utility function monotonically increasing? (b) form the lagrangian associated with this utility maximization problem, nd the rst-order conditions, and solve for the demand function for good x1. (c) find the own price elasticity of demand for good 1. now assume p2 = 1. when (i. e., for what prices p1) is demand inelastic? unit elastic? elastic?

Suppose a firm faces a fixed price of output, 푝푝= 1200. the firm hires workers from a union at a daily wage, 푤푤, to produce output according to the production function 푞푞= 2퐸퐸12. there are 225 workers in the union. any union worker who does not work for this firm is guaranteed to find nonunion employment at a wage of $96 per day. a.what is the firm’s labor demand function? b.if the firm is allowed to choose 푤푤, but then the union decides how many workers to provide (up to 225) at that wage, what wage will the firm set? how many workers will the union provide? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? c.now suppose that the union sets the wage, but the firm decides how many workers to hire at that wage (up to 225). what wage will the union set to maximize the total income of all 225 workers? how many workers will the firm hire? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? [hint: to maximize total income of union, take the first order condition with respect to w and set equal to 0.]

Is exploiting a distinctive competence or improving efficiency for competitive advantage. (a) cooptation (b) coalition (c) competitive intelligence (d) competitive aggression (e) smoothing
