Answer:
C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior
Explanation:
An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.
In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
1. Dave has 23 ($10 coins) and 18 ($20) coins.
2. Dave has 18 ($10 coins) and 16 ($20) coins.
Explanation:
1.
Let x be the number of $10 coins.
Then, the number of $20 coins will be 41-x.
The equation for the sum of money can be written as:
590 = 10x + 20 * (41-x)
590 = 10x + 820 - 20x
590 - 820 = -10x
-230 / -10 = x
x = 23
This means that Dave has 23 $10 coins and (41-23 = 18) 18 $20 coins that sum up to a face value of $590.
2.
Using the same priciple,
let x be the number of $10 coins
let 34-x be the number of $20 coins
Sum of money equation:
500 = 10x + 20 * (34-x)
500 = 10x + 680 - 20x
500 - 680 = -10x
-180 / -10 = x
x = 18
So, Dave has 18 $10 coins and (34-18 = 16) 16 $20 coins that add up to a face value of $500.
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
<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>
Answer:
≈ 9644 quantity of card
Explanation:
given data:
n = 4 regions/areas
mean demand = 2300
standard deviation = 200
cost of card (c) = $0.5
selling price (p) = $3.75
salvage value of card ( v ) = $ 0
The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated using this formula below
= <em>u</em> + z (0.8667 ) * б
= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400
≈ 9644 quantity of card
First we have to find <em>u</em>
u = n * mean demand
= 4 * 2300 = 9200
next we find the value of Z
Z = ( 
)
= ( 3.75 - 0.5 ) / 3.75 = 0.8667
Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV (0.8667 )
next we find б
б = 200
= 400
