Answer:
The fixed cost at any level of activity is $48,000 while the variable cost per unit at any level of activity is $1.30
Explanation:
The total cost is a function of the fixed and variable cost. Whilst the fixed cost does not change at a certain range of activities level, the variable cost changes as the level of activities(units produced or sold).
Using the high and low levels of activities given, let the variable cost per unit be v and the fixed cost F
for the high level,
F + 90,000v = 165,000
For the low level
F + 40,000v = 100,00
Solving both equations simultaneously,
50,000v = 65,000
v = $1.30
F + 40,000($1.30) = 100,000
F = 100,000 - 52,000
F = $48,000

If a government chooses to do this, the reduction in pollution will TAKE PLACE IN THE FIRMS WHERE ITS LEAST EXPENSIVE TO DO SO. If a government desire to establish a marketable permit program, it must first define the pollutants that will be allowed and their overall amounts that will be permissible. Companies that will mostly participate in the program will be those that do not produce much pollutants.
Answer: The correct answer is (A) : Positive upward slope.
Explanation: A demand curve is basically a graph like any other with the variables in potted on both the x-axis (left to right) and the y-axis (top to bottom). Understanding the definition of demand would make it easier to understand why the answer is option A and why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.
Demand can be defined as the quantity of a commodity or service that a consumer is willing and able to buy at a given price and at a particular point in time. And the law of demand states that “other factors being held constant, the higher the price of a commodity, the lower the quantity being demanded by the consumer. And the lower the price of a commodity, the higher the quantity being demanded by a consumer.”
This is simply a rational consumer behavior. So if the price of movie tickets were to go up let’s say from $10 to $15 then a consumer who previously could afford to watch 8 movies in a month (that’s $80) would be having second thoughts and so, rather than spend $120 per month on movie tickets, would be more inclined to watch less movies and stay within his/her $80 budget.
Therefore, on the demand curve, as the price of movie tickets moves positively towards the right side (on the x-axis), the quantity demanded would move negatively downwards (on the y-axis). As one variable increases the other one decreases, and vice versa. That explains why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.
The government has total control in a command economy, all production, investment, prices and incomes are determined by the government. A command economy is also known as a communist society because business owners do not have any control over their businesses. In a command economy, there are risks/disadvantages of running operations this way because there is a lack of competition and efficiency. When the government controls everything, there is less competition because pricing is set by the government. There is also less efficiency due to them waiting on the government to make their decisions.
