Answer:
Has an opportunity cost
- Having a "lazy afternoon" VS Working an 8 hour shift VS
- Cooking dinner VS Eating out
- Reading you favorite book VS Catching up with an old friend
Explanation:
Opportunity costs refer to the extra costs or benefits lost associated with choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. In other words, every activity that you carry out includes the opportunity cost of not doing something else. No matter what we do, we could be doing something else.
The correct answer is: "I would recommend her not to increase the price, because with an elastic demand function this will cause a great decrease in the quantity demanded by consumers".
The demand function represents the quantity of a certain good or service that consumers are willing to purchase in the market at different price levels. The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded (ceteris paribus, hence, given that the rest remains equal). <u>Therefore, when the price charged decreases, the amount that consumers are willing to purchase increases. </u>
In turn, the elasticity of the demand function measures the sensitiveness of the quantity demanded by consumers when there is a certain price change. If the demand function is elastic it means that a price variation would generate an even larger variation (in the inverse direction of course!) in the quantity demanded. <u>This is the case of the lemonade stand therefore the girl should not increase prices because this will not help her to reach her objective quicke</u>r, as she would loss a greater proportion of units sold than the size of the price increase that would have allowed her to earn more per unit.
Answer:
At equilibrium demand is equal to supply therefore
Qd=Qs
50-2P=3P
By collecting like terms
50=3P+2P
50=5P
P=10
THEREFORE equilibrium price is 10

Answer:
c. $52,670
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per desk = (High cost - low cost) ÷ (Highest production - lowest production)
= ($82,700 - $63,300) ÷ (3,500 desk - 1,240 desk)
= $19,400 ÷ 2,260 desk
= $8.58
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High cost - (High production × Variable cost per desk)
= $82,700 - (3,500 desk × $8.58)
= $82,700 - $30,030
= $52,670
