emanded; that if a price of $5 is charged, 20 units will be demanded; that if a price of $3 is charged, 38 units will be supplied; and that if a price of $1 is charged, 26 units will be supplied. For what price will supply equal demand?

Answer:

At $2 supply and demand are in equilibrium for 32 quantity

Explanation:

We have to solve for the linear equation first, and then calcualte the equilibrium price and quantity

m = \frac{y_1- y_2}{x_1-x_2}

Demand

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y&5&20&8&8\end{array}\right]

m = \frac{20- 8}{5-8} = 12\div -3 = -4

Then we solve for h

20 = -4\times5 + h \\ 20+20 = h \\h = 40

Demand would be y = -4x +40

We repeat the process with supply

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y&1&26&3&38\end{array}\right]

m = \frac{38- 26}{3-1} = 12\div 2 = 6

38 = 6\times3 + h \\ 38 -18 = h \\h = 20

Supply is y = 6x + 20

Now we can solve for equilibrium price

\left \{ {{y = -4x +40} \atop {y = 6x + 20}} \right.

-4x + 40 = 6x + 20

20 = 10x

x = 20/ 10 = 2 price

And quantity

6 x 2 + 20 = 32

-4x2 + 40 =  32

1. Unions have been in decline since the 1960s because of

Answer: <u>A. foreign competition.</u>

Explanation: Unions were often conducted in the past in order to protect workers from<em> "arbitrary decisions" </em>of employers. Such decisions resulted to the<em> laying off of workers </em>and<em> cutting of wages</em>. On the contrary, business owners have a different goal. They wanted to make more profit by cutting the wages, so they didn't like the unions. However, unions have been in decline in the 1960s, mainly because of international/foreign competitions. This is because the "bargaining power of the unions as they represent the employees were reduced."

2. When a bank evaluates a person for a loan, what does the word "capacity" refer to?

Answer: <u>C. The ability to make payments on time.</u>

Explanation: A bank evaluates a person for a loan according to his "capability to pay" the loaned amount. It is not according to his willingness to pay, but to his<em> "ability to return the money</em>." In order to know whether a person is capable of repaying the money on time, the bank analyzes the borrower's gross income and his debt.

Calculate the values for each of the questions. Assume that in each country there are no taxes, international trade, or inflatio
Inessa [10]

Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

1.5  = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, MPC is 0.3333

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 0.3333 × $70 billion

= $105 million

So the change in real GDP is

= $105 million - $70 million

= $35 million

b. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

Multiplier  = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.6

So, multiplier is 2.5

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 2.5 × $16 billion

= -$40 million

c. As we know that

Real GDP = Multiplier × Government spending

$280 billion = Multiplier × $70 billion

So, the multiplier is 4

Now the MPC is

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

4 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, the multiplier is 0.75

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Absolute reference

Explanation:

An absolute reference in excel indicates a reference that is locked such that rows and columns do not alter when copied to another cell in the excel sheet.

It points to an actual fixed location in excel and absolute referencing is simply by adding a dollar  sign before the row and column.

In other words ,Ellen will absolutely reference her income ,as the income is the same month-on-month.
