2. Ajax Cleaning product is a medium sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firm-title King Ajax produces a multithreaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The price charged by Tile King is $20,000.

Ajax has the following short-run cost curve:

   TC= 800,000-5,000Q + 100Q²

(A)  

Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax

(B)  

Given Ajax pricing strategy. What is the marginal revenue function for Ajax

4. Unique Creations holds a monopoly position in the production and sale of mag-nometers. The cost function facing Unique is estimated to be

  TC= 100,000+20Q

a.      

What is the marginal cost for Unique

b.     

If the price elasticity of demand for Unique is currently  -1.5, what price should Unique charge

c.      

What is the marginal revenue at the price computed in part (b)

6. Wyandotte Chemical Company sells various chemical to the automobile industry. Wyandotte currently sells 30,000 gallons of polyol per year at an average price of $15 per gallon. Fixed costs of manufacturing polyol are $90,000 per year and total variable costs equal $180,000. The operation research department has estimated that a 15 percent increase in output would not affect fixed costs but would reduce average variable costs by 60 cent per gallon. The marketing department has estimated the arc elasticity of demand for polyol to be -2.0

   a. How much would Wyandotte have to reduce the price of polyol to achieve a 15 percent increase in the quantity sold?

 B. Evaluate the impact of such a price cut on (i) total revenue, (ii) total costs and (iii) total profits

1.      

Assume that two companies (C and D) are duopolists that produce identical product. Demand for the products is given by the following liner demand function

         P= 600 –Qc-Qá´°

Where Qc and Qá´° are the quantities sold by the respective firms and P is the selling price. Total cost functions for the two companies are

  TCc= 25,000 + 100Qc

  TCá´°= 20,000 + 125 Qá´°

Assume that the firms act independently as in the cournot model (i.e. each firm assumes that the other firms output will not change).

a.      

Determine the long-run Equilibrium output and selling price for each firm.

b.     

Determine the total profits for each firm at the equilibrium output found in part (a)

2.      

Assume that two companies (A and B) are duopolist who produces identical products. Determine for the products is given by the following liner demand function

    P= 200 – Qá´¬-Qá´®

Where Qá´¬ and Qá´® are the quantities sold by the respective firms and p is the selling price. Total cost functions for the two companies are

   TCá´¬ = 1,500+35Qá´¬+Q²ᴀ

   TCá´®= 1,200 + 20Qá´® + 2Q²ᴃ

Assume that the firms act independently as in the Cournot model (i.e. each firm assumes that the other firms output will not change).

a.      

Determine Firms A, Firm B, and total industry profits at the equilibrium solution found in part (a)

5. Alchem (L) is the price leader in the polyglue market. All 10 other manufacture (follower [F] firms) sell polygue at the same price as Alchem. Alchem allows the other firms to sell as much as they wish at the established price and supplies the remainder of the demand itself. Total demand for polygue is given by the following function (Qᴛ=Qᴌ+ Qᶠ)

      P=20,000 – 4Qá´›

  Alchem’s marginal cost function for manufacturing and selling polygue is

   MCá´¸=5,000+5Qá´¸

The aggregate marginal cost function for the other manufacture of polygue is

∑MCᶠ=2,000 + 4Qᶠ

a.      

To maximize profits, how much polygue should Alchem produce and what price should it charge?

b.     

What is the total market demand for polygue at the price established by Alchem in part (a)? How much of total demand dot he following firms supply?

You are working with a company selling building material to builders. You predict the quarterly purchases of customers based on their current purchases by using a linear regression model. These predictions, however, are not very accurate. Discuss at least three reasons why these predictions may not be accurate and offer three ways in which you can increase the likelihood of accurately predicting your customers’ purchases.

Assignment 1: Permissions Oversight and Overview

Due Week 3 and worth 150 points

Suppose you were contracted by a local medium-sized business to speak with its business unit leaders about the importance of resource permissions in organizations. In your first moments on the job, you learn from a senior-level employee that the company just experienced a data theft incident at the hands of an employee, primarily due to the lack of permissions and resource segregation in the company. You later learn that there are multiple file servers on the network on which full control permissions are applied for the domain “Everyone” group.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Explain the basic need for and concepts of file / folder permissions and business unit resource segregation in organizations so the company leaders will understand the importance of each.
2. Specify the strategy you would utilize for leveraging the business unit leaders to gain the necessary buy-in to implement your plan for resource and data segregation in the company.
3. Justify the use of NTFS permissions for the folders / files on the network and explain the top two to three (2-3) reasons this is the most reliable option at the business unit leaders’ disposal.
4. Prepare a plan for utilizing Active Directory and Group Policy Objects to achieve the goals of setting secure permissions on business unit resources.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
