Answer:

The question is missing the amount of output units that each additional unit of labor generates, but we can calculate how many units each additional unit of labor should produce in order to maximize profit.

In order for a firm to maximize its profit, the marginal revenue product (MRP) = marginal cost (MC).

MRP = output units per additional unit of labor x price per unit = U x $9

MC = $700

U x $9 = $700

U = $700 / $9 = 77.78, so we round up to 78 units

In order to maximize profit, each additional unit of labor must generate 78 additional units of output.

The information on the number of deliveries made is not in the database so this question cannot be answered.

In conclusion, option 2 is correct.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a. 116.9 and the inflation rate was 16.9%

Explanation:

<u>Definition</u>

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure that is constructed using a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services produced by a household.

CPI = (Cost of market basket ₓ / Cost of market basket ₓ₁) * 100

where x = present year(2014) and x1 = base year(2012)

CPI = (90/77) * 100

CPI = 116.88

CPI = 116.9 (to 1 decimal place)

Inflation =<u>Current year basket cost - Base year basket cost</u>    * 100

                                    Base year basket cost

Inflation = <u>90-77</u>  * 100

                   77

Inflation = 16.88

Inflation = 16.9% ( to 1 decimal place)
