We have to make a system of equations:
x + y = 7;  where x stays for pounds of Kenyan coffee, and y stays for pounds of Sri Lankan coffee. And: 3.50 * x + 5.60 * y = 33.95 ( total cost ).
From the 1st equation: x = 7 - y. We have to substitute it into the 2nd equation:
3.50 * ( 7 - y ) + 5.60 * y = 33.95
24.50 - 3.50 y + 5.60 y = 33.95
5.60 y - 3.50 y = 33.95 - 24.50
2.10 y = 9.45
y = 9.45 : 2.10
y = 4.5 lb;  x = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 lb.
Answer: 2.5 lb of Kenyan coffee and 4.5 lb of Sri Lankan.

4. Suppose the supply of apples sharply increases because of perfect weather conditions throughout the growing season. Assuming
koban [17]

Answer:

Apples supply increase imply new equilibrium at lower price, higher quantity. Demand downwards expansion on the curve itself is due to lower price.

Explanation:

Market is at equilibrium where Market Demand = Market Supply, & downward sloping  demand curve intersects upward sloping demand curve.

If supply of apples increase & supply curve shifts rightwards, there is Excess Supply at previous equilibrium. Excess Supply creates competition among sellers, reduces new market price.

At lower price, demand expands & supply contratcs. New Equilibrium quantity is higher where new (rightwards shifted) supply curve intersects demand curve.

Quantity demanded increases (expands - downwards movement on demand curve) due to lower price, despite of no change in demand.

Suppose the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) comes out with a report suggesting that the economy will soon dip into r
sweet [91]

Answer:

(D) The cyclical unemployment

Explanation:

Business activity is subject to the comings and goings of private initiative, so the expansion and recession phases of the economy affect the number of unemployed.

<u>Cyclical unemployment</u> increases considerably during times of recession, due to the deterioration of economic conditions; while decreasing in the stages of expansion, due to the improvement of the economy.

Governments try to reduce the incidence of this type of unemployment by softening the transition between different economic cycles. The objective is that the labor supply does not vary significantly between the stages of expansion and recession so that its demand is not excessively impaired.

Now,

If the offer is accepted, the cost per unit will be:

= 44.45 + 30.45

= 74.90 ($)

Thus the above is the correct answer.
