...Assignment: The Key Concepts in Economics Curing Chronic Homelessness ECO100 The topic I chose is about homelessness and the cure that is sweeping the nation. There are multiple types of homeless, some are short termed, often uncounted as they are able quickly recover from the reason which left them homeless in the first place. Some are considered chronically homeless, which can mean a couple things; the first is that the homeless person has gone without a steady home at least four times out of the last four years. But, this can also mean that they have a disability that has caused them to be homeless for more than a year. Unfortunately, we have seen constantly increasing numbers of homeless Veterans since the Vietnam War (Haggerty, 2015). Not only is it doing the exact opposite of everything we have been told is the correct way to handle homelessness, especially chronic homelessness, but it is proving to be far more successful than anyone could have ever dreamed (The Editorial Board, 2015)! No matter where you live, the signs of homelessness are there if you take the time to look for them.. They are the most obvious when you are within great city centers because there is an ease of access to assistance that comes with being close to major hubs. Nevertheless, even an hour outside of a major city where we have nothing but farmland and wild land as far as the eye can see, we still have the same problems, they are just harder to find. One good example is during the warm months...

...towards mastery in the practice of problem solving Assessments MODULE 4 Technology 1. You are the manager of 2 small stores with production functions q = K¼L¼ and a larger store with production function q = 2K¼L¼. You hire capital for $4, labour for $1. When you took over this role, your boss told you that Q = 24 was the profit maximizing output for this multi-plan firm: 24 = q1 + q2 + q3. Now, the price of labour rises to $4. Provide (i) Isoquant/Isocost diagrams, (ii) Total Cost and (iii) Marginal Cost diagrams. Illustrate the substitution effect (point a to b) and output effect (point b to c) on these diagrams. Explain why your firm uses less capital even when the price of labour increases. (September 2010) For the production function q = K2 + L2 (A) Demonstrate that the elasticity of substitution is negative. (B) Provide a labelled diagram showing the q = 100 isoquant (C) Briefly explain what a negative value means for σ 3. 4. A special production function is q = min( 80K, 4L1 + 2L2). Discuss the production process described by this function. Is this production function constant returns to scale? Five-year-old Jack has set up a hot chocolate stand outside his home.

Jack’s mother, Naomi, provides him with heat, cups and cleaning free of charge. However, she charges him $0.25 for each unit of chocolate and $0.50 for each unit of milk. What...
