Black markets are illegal markets that emerge in response to price controls. A few buyers are able to obtain the good at the open-market price; the rest must resort to illegal means. The additional demand is met by underground suppliers selling at much higher prices.
The government does not support the black market or any of their actions with getting items and selling them in other forms. Those who are in demand of a good when they have a hard time in getting it may purchase it illegally at a higher price just so they can receive that good. When there is an exchange of goods in the black market, these items are usually prohibited by the government and therefor illegally being sold.
Answer: b. P2
Explanation:
Average Cost Pricing regulations being imposed on natural monopolies means that the regulators want them to charge customers a price that is close to or is the same as the Average cost it costs to produce goods and services.
The price that the Monopoly will charge is therefore the intersection between the Average Total Cost Curve and the Demand curve.
From the graph that price is P2 so that is the price that will be charged.
Answer:
400,000
Explanation:
7% of what number = 28,000
(0.07)(X) = 28,000
X = 400,000
(which is less than 700,000. But that makes sense because not everyone living in Michael's city is necessarily part of the labor force. Some could be kids in school, others grandparents who have retired, others people who stay at home and don't work.)
