Answer:
A) a non-binding price floor
Explanation:
A non-binding price floor is a price floor set below the current equilibrium price, so it really doesn't affect either the supply or demand of the product.
A binding price ceiling will result in a shortage since it decreases quantity supplied and increases quantity demanded. Rent control is a type of binding price ceiling. A minimum wage is a type of binding price floor which results in labor supply surplus since the quantity of labor supplied will increase but the quantity of labor demanded will decrease.
Answer:
It is more profitable to maintain the price at $10
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The souvenir sheets cost the postal service $1.15 each. St. Vincent has been selling these souvenir sheets for $10.00 each and ordinarily sells about 61,000 units. To test the market, the postal service recently priced a new souvenir sheet at $11.00 and sales dropped to 51,000 units.
We need to calculate the actual revenue and decide whether it is more convenient to increase the price or leave it as it is.
Actual revenue= 61,000 units* (10 - 1.15)= $539,850
New revenue= 51,000 units*(11 - 1.15)= $502,350
It is more profitable to maintain the price at $10
Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Answer:
No, Jim is not correct.
Explanation:
Betty will win this case.
Generally, the law encourages marriage as its policy. If there is any contract that prevent or restrict marriage in whatever way, such contract would be considered null and void because it is against the public policy.
Despite the above, contracts will be generally considered valid when they place reasonable restrictions on marriage. In this question, the restriction placed on Betty that she should get married until after her 22nd birthday is reasonable and has to be considered to be valid. Based on this, Betty has to be paid the $25,000 as laid down in the binding contract between the two parties.
Therefore, Jim is not correct.
Answer:
1. top-down
2. apportion
Explanation:
Based on the manufacturing industry standards, Project managers typically use TOP-DOWN also called analogous estimating or the APPORTION method when there is a past history of similar projects and rough-cut estimates are needed for strategic purposes two to five years out because, as estimating methods go, it is faster and less expensive.
