The demand for apples in the U.S. is Qus = 800 - 20P, and Foreign Demand for apples is Qf = 1200 - 40P, where quantity demanded

is measured in millions of bushels and price is in dollars per bushel. The world demand for apples is therefore
1. Q = 400 - 20P when P is $20 or less.

2. Q = 2000 - 60P when P is $30 or less.

3. Q = 2000 - 220P when P is $30 or less.

4. Q = 400 + 20P for all prices..

The world supply of apples is Qs = 200 + 30P. Therefore, the world equilibrium price for apples is $___ per bushel and the equilibrium quantity of apples is ___ million bushels.

At the equilibrium price, ___ million bushels will be sold in the U.S., and ___ million bushels will be sold in foreign markets

Answer:

Option (2) is correct.

$20; 800

400;400

Explanation:

Given that,

Demand for apples in the U.S. : Qus = 800 - 20P

Foreign Demand for apples: Qf = 1200 - 40P

World Demand for apples, Qwd

= Demand for apples in the U.S. + Foreign Demand for apples

= Qus + Qf

= 800 - 20P + 1200 - 40P

= 2,000 - 60P

Equilibrium price for apples is at a point where the world supply is equal to the world demand for apples:

Qwd = Qws

2,000 - 60P = 200 + 30P

1,800 = 90P

P = 20 ⇒ world equilibrium price for apples

Therefore,

world supply of apples is Qs = 200 + 30P

                                                = 200 + 30(20)

                                                = 200 + 600

                                                = 800

At equilibrium Pw = $20

Demand for apples in the U.S. : Qus = 800 - 20P

                                                            = 800 - 20(20)

                                                            = 800 - 400

                                                            = 400

kogti [31]

Answer:

The most the firm can spend to lease the new equipment without losing money=$75,000

Explanation:

The point at which the revenue in terms of sales equals the cost is the break-even point. This can be expressed as;

R=C

where;

R=revenue from sales

C=cost

And;

R=P×N

where;

R=revenue from sales

P=price per unit

N=number of units

In our case;

P=$7.5 per unit

N=10,000 units

replacing;

R=7.5×10,000=$75,000

Total revenue from sales=$75,000

C=p×n

where;

p=cost per unit

n=number of units

In our case;

p=$5

n=unknown

replacing;

C=5×n=5 n

At break-even point, R=C;

5 n=75,000

n=75,000/5=15,000

The break-even cost=5×15,000=$75,000

The most the firm can spend to lease the new equipment without losing money=$75,000

Absolute advantage can be due to the natural endowment of a country. For example, let's say Japan uses 2 hours in producing a good while Brazil uses 5 hours in producing such good. Then, it can be deduced that Japan has an absolute advantage over Brazil.

Expense = $75 x 25% / 75% = $25

Coverage = $75 + $25 = $1,00
