Answer: The Mexican trip with his best friends

Explanation:

Ryan cannot choose both options and thus has to make a decision of which option to take. Therefore he automatically sacrifices the other option. This type of decision is relevant and is known as a relevant cost. Relevant costs are costs that differ between alternatives, and thus influence the decision that you will make.

Opportunity cost is a type of relevant cost. This is the option that is given up / sacrificed when one option (laptop) is chosen over another (Mexican trip). In this case the opportunity cost is the Mexican trip when the laptop is chosen.

Consider an economy with a corn producer, some consumers, and a government. In a given year, the corn producer grows 30 million
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a. <u>GDP using product approach</u>

There are no intermediate goods inputs. Corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and each bushel of corn worth is $5.

GDP = 30 million * $5

GDP = $150 million

<u>GDP using expenditure approach</u>

i) Consumers buy 20 million bushels of corn

Consumption = 20 million * 5

Consumption (C) = $100 million

ii) Corn producer adds 5 million bushels to inventory

Investment = 5 million * $5

Investment (I) = $25 million

iii) Government buys 5 million bushels of corn  

Government spending = 5 million * $5

Government spending (G) = $25 million

GDP = C + I + G

GDP = $100 + $25 + $25  

GDP = $150 million

<u>GDP using income approach</u>

Profit income = $150 million - $60 million - $20 million

Profit income = $70 million

Government income = Taxes paid by the corn producer = $20 million

GDP = $60 million + $70 million + $20 million

GDP = $150 million

b. Private disposable income = GDP + Net factor payments + Government transfers + Interest on the government debt - Total taxes

Private disposable income = $150 million + 0 + $5 million + $10 million - $30 million

Private disposable income = $135 million

 

Private savings = Private disposable income - Consumption

Private savings = $135 million - $100 million

Private savings = $35 million

Government savings = Government tax income - Transfer payments - Interest on the government debt - Government spending

Government savings = $30 million - $5 million - $10 million - $5 million

Government savings = $10 million

National savings = Private savings + Government savings

National savings = $35 million + $10 million

National savings = $45 million

Government budget surplus = Government savings = $10 million

Government deficit = (-) $10 million

Both the Onus ferry operator in the monopoly market and each of the Yuri ferry operators in the perfectly competitive market wil
Lisa [10]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Monopoly.

The 2 reasons why the monopoly’s marginal revenue will always be less than its price are;

a) Even though Monopolies have very large influence on the prices of goods and services they offer, for a Monopoly to sell more goods, they generally have to lower their prices. This will lead to a situation where Marginal Revenue, which is the additional revenue made per additional unit sold will be less than Price because additional revenue for a new unit will be less than the last one because prices are dropped .

b) A Monopoly's demand schedule is downward sloping. This means that demand rises as prices drop. As prices drop therefore, more goods will be sold but the marginal revenue will be less because prices had to be dropped to get an additional unit to be sold. That unit therefore will bring in less revenue than the last unit.

Perfectly Competitive Market

In such a market, the seller is a Price Taker. This means that sellers in this market do not sell at a price that they want but rather at a price the market has established to be the Equilibrium. This is because of the high competition in the market. Since they are all selling at the same price, this means that every additional revenue they get is the same as the price the market charges. This means that Price equals Marginal Revenue in this market.
