lianna [129]

Answer:

the Cowry Shell

Explanation:

The Cowry Shell were being used in the world as early as 700 BC in China. It is considered durable. For many years, cowries shell were utilized as a means of exchanges over the areas such as India and Africa, southern Europe, and China.

However, alcohol and cattle have never served as a general means of exchange, only on a few occasions used as a trade by barter. While gold can be remade in a less original version using less expensive metals and painting.

Hence, in this case, the right answer is THE COWRY SHELL

Here are incomplete financial statements for BLOSSOM, Inc. Calculate the missing amounts

Otrada [13]

Answer:

(A) net income: 20,000

(B) COGS = 55,000

(C) Common Stock = 30,000

Explanation:

(A) with the RE statemtn we sovle for RE

net income = ending RE - beginning RE + dividends

net income = 27,000 - 12,000 + 5,000 = 20,000

(B) With the net income we solve for COGS

COGS= revenues - net income - salaries and wages

COGS = 85,000 - 20,000 - 10,000 = 55,000

(C) now we solve for common stock

liab + equity = total liab and stockholders equity

account payable + common stock + RE = total liab and stockholders equity

5,000 + CS + 27,000 = 62,000

CS = 62,000 - 27,000 - 5,000 = 30,000

Tony's Pizza's production function is shown in the table below.

Nastasia [14]

A technological efficiency is achieved, when a given output achieves the maximum possible output.

<h3>Why the pizzeria is technologically efficient?</h3>

a) Suppose Tony operates Plant 2. He hires 2 workers and produces 20 pizzas a day. Is the pizzeria technologically efficient? Why or why not?

The firm is not technologically efficient. The production function shows that with 2 ovens and 2 workers it is possible to produce 22 pizzas a day.

b) Suppose Tony operates Plant 1. He hires 2 workers and produces 18 pizzas per day. Is Tony's Pizza technologically efficient? Why or why not? Can Tony increase production to 22 pizzas a day in the short run? If yes, how?

Tony's Pizza technologically efficient. The production function shows that 18 pizzas is maximum output that 2 workers can produce with 1 oven. Tony can increase production to 22 pizzas per day in the short run by hiring more labor.

c) Suppose Tony operates Plant 3. What is the marginal product of labor when the fourth worker is hired? When operating Plant 3, does Tony experience diminishing marginal returns? Explain.

When the 4th worker is hired, the marginal product of labor is the change in output, 40 pizzas-33pizzas= 7 pizzas, divided by the change in the labor input, 1 worker. So, the marginal product of labor for the 4th worker is 7 pizzas per day.

Tony experiences diminishing marginal returns because the marginal product of labor diminishes as more workers are hired.

d) Suppose Tony currently uses Plant 3. Can he increase production from 40 to 50 pizzas per day in the short run? In the long run? If yes, how?

If Tony uses Plant 3, he cannot increase production from 40 to 50 pizzas per day in the short run. The short-run production function for plant 3 shows that the maximum output that the firm can produce with this plant is 48 pizzas per day.

What is input, conversion process, and output

blondinia [14]

Hello!

Think of a machine. You put something in. This is the input. The conversion process is whatever goes on inside the machine. Let's say that the machine will spray paint a vase you put into it. The vase is the input. The spray painting is the conversion process. What comes out of the machine, or the result, is the output. In our example it would be the painted vase.

The conversion process changes the input into the output.

For example, think of a function, or a table. Let's say that we have the rule, +1. Let's say our input is 1. The conversion process is +1. This makes 1 become the output of two.

I hope this helps!

Suppose the government in your city imposes a $0.50 excise tax on gasoline. the burden of this tax falls on:_____.

MAXImum [283]

Let's say that gasoline is subject to a $0.50 excise tax in your city. This tax affects both buyers and sellers equally.

Depending on the elasticity of demand and supply, a tax's burden is split between purchasers and sellers. Depending on their alternatives, buyers' and sellers' desire to exit the market is represented by elasticity. The relationship between supply and demand price elasticity and tax incidence is also possible. The tax burden is placed on the purchasers when supply is more elastic than demand. The cost of the tax will be borne by the producers if demand is more elastic than supply.
