Answer:

a) Q = 100M + 60C

b) L = 0

c) L = Q / 60

d) Cost = $66.67

Explanation:

a)

Let M be the self service machines and L be the cashiers hired by company.

M = self service machines

C = hired cashiers

Q = Total output

Each self service machine can process 100 orders per hour = 100M

Cashier can process 60 orders per hour = 60C

Then,

Q = 100M + 60C

b)

Marginal Product of self service machine = 100 / 20 = 5 order per dollar

Marginal Product of cashier = 60 / 10 = 6 order per dollar

Marginal Product of cashier is higher than Marginal Product of self service machine(6 > 5).

Then, demand for self service machine is zero.

L = 0

c)

L = Orders to be processed / Order processed per cashier  

L = Q / 60

d)

L = Q / 60

L = 400 / 60 = 6.66666667

Cost = L x 10 = 6.66666667 x 10 = $66.67

Hope this helps!

gregori [183]

Answer: none is correct.

Explanation:

Given data:

2 years ago = $500

1 year ago = $300

Today = $800

Solution:

PV ( presents value )

= p * r * t

Where:

p = principal ( $500, $300, $800 )

r = rate = 4%

t = duration (time) ( 2years, 1 year and present ).

= ( $500* 2 * 0.04 ) + ( $300 * 1 * 0.04 ) + $800

= $40 + $12 + $800

= $852

PV = $500 + $300 + $852

= $1,652.

When a movie theater charges a lower ticket price for senior citizens and/or students, the movie theater is engaging in_________
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

b) third-degree price discrimination.

Explanation:

The price gouging happens on prices when is carried out by the seller, goods, services or goods to a higher level than what is considered acceptable or fair and potentially considered unethically. This usually occurs after a demand or supply shock. Common examples include price increases for basic needs after hurricanes or other natural disasters.

First-degree discrimination (perfect price discrimination) appears when a business charges the maximum possible price for each unit consumed because prices are diverse among some units. In this case, where a company charges a different price for every good or service sold.

Second-degree price discrimination is the concept in which a company charges a different price when there are demands for different quantities consumed, such as quantity discounts on bulk purchases.

Third-degree price discrimination is the case in which a company charges a different price to different consumer groups. This is the type of most common type of price discrimination. If we see in the question there is given distinctive ticket price offers to senior citizens and/or students. That’s why we should choose third-degree price discrimination.

A required reserve ratio of 7 percent gives rise to a simple deposit multiplier of?
blsea [12.9K]

A required reserve ratio of 7 percent gives rise to a simple deposit multiplier of 14.29.

<h3>What is reserve ratio?</h3>

The reserve ratio is the percentage of reservable liabilities which commercial banks must keep rather than lend or invest. This is a requirement set by the country's central bank, which is the Federal Reserve in the United States. It is also referred to as the cash reserve ratio.

Some key points related to reserve ratio are-

  • The reserve requirement is the minimum amount of deposits that a bank must hold, and it is sometimes used interchangeably with the reserve ratio.
  • Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board establishes the reserve ratio.
  • Regulation D established uniform reserve requirements with all deposit accounts with transaction accounts and necessitates banks to provide the Federal Reserve with regular reports.
  • Suppose the Federal Reserve determined that the reserve ratio should be 11%. This means that if a bank has $1 billion in deposits, it must keep $110 million in reserve ($1 billion x.11 = $110 million).
