Which entity within the federal government is responsible for arranging economic and humanitarian aid to foreign countries?

When p = $5, the quantity demanded of a good is 30 units, and the quantity supplied of the good is 50 units. For every $1 decrea

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: Equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40 units.

Explanation:

Demand equation is given by,

$Qd= a-bP When P=$5, Qd=30 30 = a – 5b Change in Quantity demanded = Change in a – (b Change in P) 5 = 0 – b(-1) b=5 So, a = 55$

Therefore the demand equation is given by, $Qd= 55 – 5P$

Supply equation is given by

$Qs= c + dP When P=$5, Qs = 50 50 = c + 5d Change in Quantity supplied = Change in c + d(Change in P) -5 = 0 + d(-1) d=5 So, c=25$

Therefore, the supply equation is given by,

$Qs= 25 + 5P$

Equilibrium is given by

$Qd=Qs 55 – 5P= 25 + 5P 30=10P P=$3 And Equilibrium quantity is, Q= 55 – 5(3) = 55 – 15 = 40 units.$

The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of a new ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage

liberstina [14]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The moving average is calculated as:

= sum demand for 2 yr/2

The moving average for next year will be:

= (3800+3700)/2

= 7500/2

= 3,750 Miles

(b) The mean absolute deviation(MAD)

= Sum(|Dt-Ft|)/n

Therefore, the moving average for Y3 will be:

= (3000+4000)/2

= 7000/2

= 3500

Moving Avge for Y4 F(4) will be:

= (4000+3400)/2

= 3700

Moving Avge for Y5 will be:

= (3400+3800)/2

= 7200/2

= 3600

Therefore, MAD will be:

= Sum (|3500-3400|+|3700-3800|+|3600-3700|)/3

(100+100+100)/3

= 300/3

= 100

(c) Weighted moving average = sum (weight in period n) × (demand in period n)/Sum weights

So Weighted moving average for Y6 will be:

= ((3800 × 0.4)+(3700 × 0.6))/(0.4+0.6)

=1520 + 2220

= 3,740

MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION:

= Sum(|Dt-Ft|)/n

Weighted moving average for Y3:

= (3000 × 0.4c+ 4000 × 0.6)/(0.4+0.6)

= 3600

Weighted moving average for Y4:

= (4000 × 0.4 + 3400 × 0.6)/(0.4+0.6)

= 3640

Weighted moving average for Y5:

= (3400 × 0.4+3800 × 0.6)/(0.4+0.6)

= 3640

Therefore, MAD

= Sum(|3600-3400|+|3640-3800|+|3640-3700|)/3

MAD = (200+160+60)/3 = 140

(d)Expomentioal Smoothing F(t) will now be:

SO F(1) = 3000 + 0.5 × (3000-3000)

= 3000

F(2) = 3000 + 0.5 × (4000-3000)

= 3500

F(3) = 3500 + 0.5 × (3400-3500)

= 3450

F(4) = 3450 + 0.5 × (3800-3450)

= 3625

F(5) = 3625 + 0.5 × (3700-3625)

= 3663

Therefore, forecast will now be 3663 miles

Mission Foods produces two flavors of tacos, chicken, and fish, with the following characteristics:

postnew [5]

Answer:

1. $858,000

2. Chicken = 24,000 units and Fish = 36,000 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The anticipated level of profits for the expected sales volumes is

= Expected sales of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) + Expected sales of fish × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) - total fixed cost

= 200,000 × ($3 - $1.50) + 300,000 × ($4.50 - $2.25) - $117,000

= $300,000 + $675,000 - $117,000

= $858,000

2. The break even volume is

Let we assume the sale units be X

So, total units sold for chicken = 40X

And, for the fish it is = 60X

Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) + Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) = Total Fixed cost

0.40X × (3 – 1.50) + 0.60X × (4.50 – 2.25) = $117,000

0.60X + 1.35X = $117,000

1.95X = $117,000

So, the X is 60,000 units

So for chicken it is 60,000 × 40% = 24,000 units

And for fish it is 60,000 × 60% = 36,000 units

A leader who is more about collaboration than command and control would be said to be _____________ .

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": an interactive leader.

Explanation:

Interactive leaders are those who are involved in the day-to-day activities of their subordinates coordinating what is necessary for them to perform their activities efficiently. These leaders promote a horizontal hierarchy within their companies.

Interactive leaders are seen as power-sharing executives since they do not limit subordinates' decision-making but monitor them closely to verify if they are meeting the expectations that will contribute achieve the overall goal of the team.

"It has been all downhill for the West since China entered the world market; we just can't compete with hundreds of millions

aleksley [76]

Answer:

D. It is cheaper to produce some goods in the U.S. because productivity is higher here.

Explanation:

If the statement "It has been all downhill for the West since China entered the world market; we just can't compete with hundreds of millions of people willing to work for almost nothing." Fails to connect wages and productivity, it means that despite China having many people willing to work for low wages it does not mean they are more productive.

Productivity is defined as how effectively a production process is. It is the ratio between output and input used.

If China has low productivity with the large workforce it has, it will be cheaper to produce goods in the United States that has a higher productivity.

The United States will be able to maximise inputs used in the production process to give higher output.
