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.

quester [9]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold on April 25 is $13.80 and the inventory balance is $55.20

Explanation:

Data given:total unit

Cost of purchase with  data;

Date                  Amount

April 5                 $10

April 10                $12

April 15                $14

April 20                 $16

April 22                 $17

Total cost             69    

Average cost = total cost /total quantity

                       = 69/5

                       =13.8

The cost of the ending inventory is given on the balance sheet below

Date      Purchases              Cost of            Inventory Bal.   Avg Cost

                                            goods sold

April 5   $10* 1 unit= $10                -                        $10               10/1 = $10

April  10  $12* 1 unit=$12               -               10+ 12 = 22            22/2 = 11

April  15   $14* 1 unit=$14                  -           22+14 =36              36/3 = 12

April 20   $16* 1 unit= $16                  -          36 +16 =52            52/4 = 13

April 22    $17* 1 unit = $17                 -          52+17 =69            69/5 = 13.8

April 25             -           1 unit*13.8 = 13.80      69 - 13.8 = 55.20

Increasing the amount of money in the economy results in
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

By increasing the amount of money in the economy, the central bank encourages private consumption. Increasing the money supply also decreases the interest rate, which encourages lending and investment. The increase in consumption and investment leads to a higher aggregate demand.

Explanation:

It is important for policymakers to make credible announcements. If private agents (consumers and firms) believe that policymakers are committed to growing the economy, the agents will anticipate future prices to be higher than they would be otherwise. The private agents will then adjust their long-term plans accordingly, such as by taking out loans to invest in their business. But if the agents believe that the central bank’s actions are short-term, they will not alter their actions and the effect of the expansionary policy will be minimized.
