Answer: Equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40 units.

Explanation:

Demand equation is given by,

Qd= a-bP When P=$5, Qd=30 30 = a – 5b Change in Quantity demanded =  Change in a – (b Change in P) 5 = 0 – b(-1) b=5 So, a = 55

Therefore the demand equation is given by, Qd= 55 – 5P

Supply equation is given by

Qs= c + dP When P=$5, Qs = 50 50 = c + 5d Change in Quantity supplied = Change in c + d(Change in P) -5 = 0 + d(-1) d=5 So, c=25

Therefore, the supply equation is given by,  

Qs= 25 + 5P

Equilibrium is given by

Qd=Qs 55 – 5P= 25 + 5P 30=10P P=$3 And  Equilibrium quantity is, Q= 55 – 5(3) = 55 – 15 = 40 units.

In recent years, the trend among U.S. firms is to outsource the "production" of certain service activities to developing nations
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

We currently live in a globalized world. Globalization is an economic and political phenomenon that has transformed the relations of production and labor. The companies started to produce in countries where the labor is cheaper, becoming consequently more competitive. Thus, US multinational companies outsource the manufacture of components of their products in different territories. For example, an Iphone has components made in China, Vietnam and others. This makes the final price of the iphone lower around the world.

He georgetown, south carolina, traffic division reported 40% of high-speed chases involving automobiles result in a minor or maj
stellarik [79]

Answer: The probability that 25 or more out of 50 high speed chases result in minor or major accidents is 0.097807364  or 9.781%.

The rate of accidents at 0.40 is a constant rate, and hence we can use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability.

The formula for computing the probability with the binomial distribution is:

P(X=x) = _{n}C_{x}*p^{x}*q^{n-x}

where

N  is number of trials  = 50

p is probability of of a hit in a single trial. In this case, p = 0.40

q is probability of of a miss in a single trial. Now q = 1 - p; q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 for this question

x will take on the whole numbers from 25  and continue upto 50

The questions asks us to compute the probability that 25 or more chases will result in an accident.  

We express this as P( X≥ 25) mathematically.

We can also express P( X≥ 25)  as P (x=25) + P(x=26) + ................ + P(50) i.e the sum of all the individual probabilities when x assumes each of the values from 25 upto 50.

That's why x will take on each of the whole numbers from 25 to 50.

We can compute P( X=25) by substituting the values in the formula above.

P(X=25) = _{50}C_{25}*0.4^{25}*0.6^{50-25}

P(X=25) = \frac{n!}{x!*(n-x)!}*0.4^{25}*0.6^{50-25}

P(X=25) = \frac{50!}{25!*(50-25)!}*0.4^{25}*0.6^{50-25}

P(x=25) = 0.040463604

Similarly we need to compute the probabilities for x =26, 27 and so on until x =50. The sum total of all these probabilities the answer.

The workings have been made in excel and are attached to this answer as a picture.
