Payday loans issued by banks are often referred to as “direct deposit advances.” In early 2013, the average direct deposit advance charged $10 for a $100 advance and was due in 10 days. What is the effective annual rate on this type of loan?

It has generally been believed that it is not feasible
It has generally been believed that it is not feasible for men and women to be just friends (The New York Times, April 12, 2012). Others argue that this belief may not be true anymore since gone are the days when men worked and women stayed at home and the only way they could get together was for romance. In a recent survey, 186 heterosexual college students were asked if it was feasible for men and women to be just friends. Thirty-two percent of females and 57% of males reported that it was not feasible for men and women to be just friends. Suppose the study consisted of 100 female and 86 male students.
a. Construct a contingency table that shows frequencies for the qualitative variables Gender (men or women) and Feasible (yes or no).
b. Find the probability that a student believes that men and women can be friends.
c. If a student believes that men and women can be friends, what is the probability that this student is a male? Find the corresponding probability that this student is a female.

A publishing company plans to replace its four proofreaders who look for errors in manuscripts with a new scanning machine and one proofreader in case the machine breaks down. Currently the proofreaders check 15 manuscripts every week between them. Each is paid €80,000 per year. Hiring the new scanning machine will cost €5,000 each calendar month. How will this new system affect the proofreading department’s productivity?

Q6
Mamata, being a landowner who has a preference to allocate the resources (time, income from working) in such a way that the bundle chosen provides her with an optimal amount of utility. The opportunity cost of working longer is the leisure time which could have been utilized for other activities which is the next best alternative for the landowner. Feasible allocation contains all the points where the trade-off is achievable given the limited resources and the IC curve details all the allocations on it that provide the landowner with the same level of utility. Mamata has a time constraint of 24 hours which could be allocated in the best possible way, given that, if she works for 24 hours (which means with 0 hours of leisure she could produce 4 tonnes of rice. Her utility-maximizing bundle is where she consumes 3 tonnes of rice with 16 hours of leisure and is represented by IC2 on the diagram. The input here is the time spent in working in the rice field and the output is the income (rice) produced. With the increase in income initially, choosing work (income) over leisure is due to the substitution effect which outweighs work over leisure. Mamata doesn’t allocate all her time in working as with rise in income (rice) there is an Income effect that outweighs the effect of the Substitution of leisure for rice production. According to the diagram, IC3 is not feasible due to limited resources and IC2 is attainable but not efficient due to the underutilization of resources. The utility-maximizing bundle here is represented where the feasibility frontier is tangent to the IC curve (utility curve).
Q7
With the Introduction of Operation Barga, the incentives gained by Mamata by working in a field have decreased as she needs to share the rice produced with the landowner and she is only left with three-fourth of the crop produced. Due to this, the maximum she could gain by working in the rented field for 24 hours is 4 tonnes of crop out of which 1 tonne is to be given to the landowner. Mamata needs to consider the trade-off of resources she is left with, in such a way that her utility gets maximized. She will get only 3 tonnes of crop if she works for 24 hours. However, with the decrease in the incentives to work more the IC curve shifts down to IC2 with less amount of utility. The feasible frontier curve moves such that the allocation is to be made between 24 hours of work and 3 tonnes of trade (ignoring the 1 ton of crop that is given to the landowners in form of rent). There is no change in the allocated time but the gains from working in the field decrease to a maximum of 3 tonnes. She will experience a loss in terms of utility and the new utility-maximizing bundle is such that with more hours of work, she gains less crops due to the Operation Barga. IC2 is the new IC on which the utility-maximizing bundle lies which reduced the amount of leisure, L and decrease income, W. With lesser incentives to work, Mamata works with reduced productivity which increases the hours worked but decreases the income earned with a maximum of 3 tonnes for own consumption. (M. Raquibuz Zaman,1973) The shift of Mamata from a landowner to sharecropper makes her worse off, however, if she would have gained the same amount of yield when she was a sharecropper (first part), the utility and incentives of her should have increased. This indicates that the ownership of the land and then the share of crop from the production describes the change in utility through it. Assumptions: Now, tradeoff will happen between 3 tonnes of crop and 24 hours of work as 3 tonnes is the maximum that sharecropper will get (if he works for 24 hours)
Less incentivizing for the sharecropper, Leisure gives more pleasure i.e. Substitution effect between leisure and wage outweighs Income effect.
