Answer: D. marginal product; increasing; average variable cost; decreasing
Explanation:
The Marginal product curve is hump-shaped and the marginal cost curve is U-shaped because these two move in opposite directions to each other.
If the marginal cost is decreasing therefore, the marginal product must be increasing. If the marginal cost is decreasing and the marginal product is increasing, average variable cost will have to fall because every additional unit produced incurs less cost so the average has to fall as well.
Answer:
(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units
(ii) The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down
(iii) The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)
Explanation:
(i)According to given data, When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.
(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.
(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

PV $6,744.8334
Answer:
Stronger
Explanation:
Given that inflation affects trade flows, as the higher price of commodities have negative impacts on exports rates. Thus, all things being equal, it is expected that high inflation should cause downward pressure on the exchanger rate of Krendo.
Hence, the inflation effect will be STRONGER than the interest rate effect in influencing the exchanger rate of Krendo against the U.S. dollar.
Answer: A. and increases in government expenditures shift aggregate demand right.
Explanation: Government expenditures or spending affect the aggregate demand, because it is one of the component of aggregate demand. If there is an increase in government spending the aggregate demand will shift to the right.
When there is tax cut or reduction in tax, there will be more disposable income which will increase consumption and savings and in turn shift the aggregate demand to the right.
