Answer:

AC Problems : Incurred even at 0 output level, much varying & deviant from cash flows

VC Problems : Doesn't include fixed cost, incomplete expenditure, incomplete financial (accounting) statements.

Explanation:

Average Cost is the cost per unit off output.

Problems with AC as a performance measure :

It includes all (fixed & variable cost) average. So, including fixed cost, it is not zero even at zero output level.
It's variance analysis during production & cost phases is very complicated.
It's result are deviant as evident from cash flows.

Variable Cost is the cost incurred on variable factors of production.

Problems with VC as a performance measure :

It doesn't include fixed cost. So, it is not a correct measure of complete total expenditure.
Fixed costs are huge. No financial inclusion of them makes accounting information unreliable (for legal purposes)

Suppose buyers of fountain drinks are required to send $0.50 to the government for every fountain drink they buy. Further, suppo

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

d. All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

a. This tax causes the demand curve for fountain drinks to shift downward by $0.50 at each quantity.

b. The price paid by buyers is $0.30 per drink more than it was before the tax.

This is true as the difference between $0.50 and $0.20 is $0.30. The price paid by buyers is indeed $0.30 per drink more than it was before the tax.

c. Forty percent of the burden of the tax falls on the sellers.

This is true as $0.20 of $0.50 is 40% and this tax burden falls on the sellers.

The town of Smallsville is considering building a museum. The interest on the money Smallsville will have to borrow to build the

mestny [16]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. This has been solved and attached.

Note that the net benefits was calculated as:

= Marginal benefit - $200

b. Looking at the table and information provided in the attachment, we would see that no company offer to build the museum because since their cost of $1000 can't be covered by the revenue generated. The highest revenue gotten for the single price monopolist is $760 and this can't even cover their cost.

c. Based on the scenario given in (c), the highest revenue the price discriminating monopolist would make is $1200 and coupled with the fact that the cost is $1000, the maximum bid that a private company would make to supply the museum to Smallsville is $200 ($1200 - $1000)

Why is the greece financial crisis described as a depression and not a recession?

Alex73 [517]

<span>The financial crisis in Greece is described as depression rather than recession is because the Greece’s economy had taken a severe and sustained economic downturn. Greece’s economy has been marked by a substantial and sustained shortfall of the ability to purchase goods relative to the amount that could be produced. Depression is a more severe form of recession. Recession lasts a few months, while depression lasts longer. </span>

The owner of an orange grove must decide when to pick one variety of oranges. She can sell them for $27 a bushel if she sells th

uysha [10]

Answer:

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return

Explanation:

We assume that the return of the owner is y ($)

Assume that the number of weeks the oranges should be picked to have maximum return is x (weeks). (x≥0)

If collect now, the price for each bushel is $27

As the price per bushel decrease by $1.50 per bushel each week

=> After x weeks, the price of a bushel decrease: 1.5x ($)

=> The price of 1 bushel after x weeks is: 27 - 1.5x ($)

If collect now, each tree can yield 7 bushels

As the yield increases by half a bushel per week for the next 5 weeks

=> After x weeks with x ≤ 5, each trees would yields: 7 + 0.5x (bushels)

The return = The price of each bushes × The quantity of bushels

=> $y = (27-1.5x)(7+0.5x)$

⇔ $y= 27 (7 +0.5x) - 1.5x(7+0.5x) = 189 + 13.5x - 10.5x - 0.75x^{2}$

⇔ $y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$

We have: if the equation has the form of $y =ax^{2} +bx +c$ with a≠0, its maximum value is: $max y = c - \frac{b^{2} }{4a}$

In the equation $y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$ , we have: a = -0.75; b = 3; c = 189

=> $max y = c -\frac{b^{2} }{4a} = 189 - \frac{3^{2} }{4.(-0.75)} = 189 - \frac{9}{-3} = 189 - (-3) = 189+3 = 192$

To look for the number of weeks, we should find x (0≤x≤5) with which y = 192

$192 = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$

⇔ $-0.75x^{2} + 3x + 189 - 192 = 0$

⇔ $-0.75 x^{2} + 3x - 3 =0$

⇔ $-0.75x^{2} + 4*0.75x - 0.75*4 =0$

⇔ $x^{2} -4x + 4 = 0$

⇔ $(x-2)^{2} = 0$

⇔ x = 2

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return
