The owner of Chips etc. produces two kinds of chips: lime (L) and vinegar (V). He has a limited amount of the three ingredients

used to produce these chips available for his next production run: 4800 ounces of salt, 9600 ounces of flour, and 2000 ounces of herbs. A bag of lime chips requires 2 ounces of salt, 6 ounces of flour, and 1 ounce of herbs to produce; while a bag of vinegar chips requires 3 ounces of salt, 8 ounces of flour, and 2 ounces of herbs. Profits for a bag of lime chips are $0.40, and for a bag of vinegar chips $0.50. What is the formulation for this problem? Suppose that L and V are the decision variables respectively of Lime and Vinegar.

Answer:

Objective function (maximize)

Profit=0.40L+0.50V

Constraints

- Availabitily of salt: 2L+3V\leq4800

- Availability of herbs: 1C+2V\leq 2000

- Availability of flour: 6C+8V\leq9600

Explanation:

This a linear programming problem. We have an objective function (in this case it is the profit) that we want to optimize, but complying with constraints (in this case, the availability of ingredients).

The objective function can be defined taking into account the profits of the two kind of chips:

Profit=0.40L+0.50V

The constraints can be expressed taking into account the amount of ingredients every unit of chip needs and stating that it has to be less or equal to the availability of this ingredient:

- Availabitily of salt:

2L+3V\leq4800

- Availability of herbs

1C+2V\leq 2000

- Availability of flour

6C+8V\leq9600

With these expressions the linear programming problem can be solved.

The consumer price index for Planet Econ consists of only two items: books andhamburgers. In 2010, the base year, the typical co
Stels [109]

Answer:

The consumer price index for 2015 on Planet Econ is 1.25

Explanation:

The formula for computing the consumer price index is given below:

= (Total cost in the current year) ÷ (total cost in the base year)

where,

Total cost in the current year equals to

= (Base year book quantity × current year book price) + (base year hamburgers quantity × current year hamburgers price)

= 10 books × $30 + 25 hamburgers × $3

= $300 + $75

= $375

we use the base year quantity for computing the total cost for the current year.

And, the Total cost in the base year equals to

= (Base year book quantity × base year book price) + (base year hamburgers quantity × base year hamburgers price)

= 10 books × $25 + 25 hamburgers × $2

= $250 + $50

= $300

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be

= $375 ÷ $300

= 1.25

Hence, The consumer price index for 2015 on Planet Econ is 1.25

If the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1:
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

b. small percentage changes in the price will lead to much larger percentage changes in the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how responsive is quantity demanded to change in price. Its formula is given by:

E_{D} = \frac{dQ}{Q}{\frac{P}{dP} =

= % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price

So when absolute value E_{D}  is greater than 1, a x percentage change in price will lead to larger than x percentage change in quantity demanded.

<u>Note</u>: Whether the percentage change in quantity demanded will be just a little or very much larger than percentage change in price will depend on how much E_{D} is larger than 1. But b is the still the best answer among the options.

Suppose that real domestic output in an economy is 20 units, the quantity of inputs is 10, and the price of each input is $4. An
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

A. supply curve shifts to the left

Explanation:

An increase in the prices of inputs from $4 to $6 shows economic problems that include a reduction in capital stock, labor, and an increased unemployment rate. This can also give room for inflation.

This increase shows that due to shortage in labor supply, it now costs more to produce a product.

Due to all the above mentioned reasons, the supply curve of both long run and short run supply curves shifts left.

Cheers.
