Answer:
Explanation:
A) Energy can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost for a company. This is due to the sense that energy in the form of fixed electricity bill even when no production takes place (telephone bill), a fixed cost and electricity bill when production takes place would be a variable cost
B) An increment in fixed cost will shift the ATC curve to the right while the MC curve would remain the same because MC is the change in variable cost as output increases and is not related to fixed cost.
C) Corn cost is a variable cost for ethanol producer as each unit of corn is used to produce ethanol and thus use of corn is reliant upon how much ethanol is produced. This makes corn a variable input dependent on the production of output, therefore, the cost of corn is variable.
D) An increment in the variable cost will shift the ATC curve to the right and individual MC curve to the right.
Answer:
b. 16% defectives
Explanation:
Let the number of units shipped be N
Let the defect rate be y%
Cost of replacing defectives once shipped = (y/100)×N× 2.5 ........equation (1)
Cost of 100% inspection = N × 0.4 .........equation (2)
At the indifference point, both costs, that is the replacement cost and inspection cost are equal. Therefore, we make both equations (1) and (2) equal.
N × 0.4 = (y/100)×N× 2.5
100 × 0.4 = y ×2.5
y = 40/2.5 = 16
She is indifferent at 16% defectives
Answer:
a. Sue told her employees the department needed 12% more sales this year than last and they would be contacting at least four new customers each week
Answer:
Lower
Explanation:
If aggregate demand increases, then there will be a decline or decrease in unemployment in any country, even as more workers are hired, real GDP output and price level increases.
Phillips curve is simply a curve that depicts the short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment.A decrease or a low unemployment correlates with high aggregated demand.
When there is a raise in aggregate demand = higher output + higher price level
On the Phillips curve, more GDP simply means less unemployment and higher price level.
