Answer:

0.038 units per $ of factor costs

Explanation:

Labor cost for 40 units  = 30 hours × $10/hour = $300

Cost of paper for 40 units = 15 sheets × $50/sheet = $750

Output = 40 units

Multi factor productivity is expressed as;

Multi factor productivity = Output/Total Factor cost

Multi factor productivity = 40 units/$1050 = 0.038 units per $ of factor cost

Multi factor productivity is a measure that depicts units produced for every $ of factor products used. In the above case 2 factors i.e labor and paper are used.

Alona [7]

Answer:

wages cannot adjust downward quickly and easily.

Explanation:

In a situation where the macroeconomy is experiencing a higher than the natural rate of unemployment, it must be because "wages cannot adjust downward quickly and easily."

Given that wages are arguably the most significant aspect to entice employees or people to work and get paid. Hence, where the wages are not enough to cause for the employees, there tends to be a situation where wages cannot adjust downward quickly and easily. And therefore, people would not want to work where there is low pay, and eventually, unemployment increases.

The result of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions was to:____
postnew [5]

Answer: d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.

Explanation:

In December 1997, signatories accounting for around 70% of World Trade adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions which stated that countries must install Legislative laws that would prohibit the bribing of foreign officials as well as strict penalties for parties who engage in such. This was done to ensure that the playing field was level so to speak instead of one company getting special treatment because they paid for it.

One concern however was that the Convention did not consider Facilitating Payments a criminal offence which means that it could be used as a bypass for the bribery of foreign officials to still happen.

You are given the market demand function Q=2800-1000p, and that each duopoly firm's marginal cost is $0.07 per unit, which impli
Fed [463]

Answer:

q1 = 910

q2 = 910

Explanation:

Given:

Q = 2800 - 1000p

Marginal cost = $0.07 per unit

Q = 2800 - 1000p

p = \frac{2800 - Q}{1000}

p = \frac{2800- q_1 - q_2}{1000}

Let's calculate profit of firm 1:

TR = p1 q1

= \frac{2800 q_1 - q_1^2 - q_1 q_2}{1000}

MR = \frac{2800 - 2q_1 - q_2}{1000}

MR = MC = 0.07

\frac{2800 - 2q_1 - q_2}{1000} = 0.07

Cross multiplying:

2800 - 2q₁ - q₂ = 70

2800 - 2q₁ = 70 + q₂

2800 - 70 - 2q₁ = q₂

2730 - 2q₁ = q₂...............(1)

Let's calculate profit of firm 2:

TR = p₁ q₂

= \frac{2800 q_2 - q_1 - q_2^2}{1000}

\frac{2800 - q_1 - 2q_2}{1000} = MR

MR = MC = 0.07

\frac{2800 - q_1 - 2q_2}{1000} = 0.07

Cross multiplying:

2800 - q₁ - 2q₂ = 70

2800 - 2q₂ = 70 + q₁

2800 - 70 - 2q₂ = q₁

2730 - 2q₂ = q₁................... (2)

Substitute 2730 - 2q₂ for q₁ in (1)...

Thus:

2730 - 2q₁ = q₂

2730 - 2(2730 - 2q₂) = q₂

2730 - 5460 + 4q₂ = q₂

-2730 + 4q₂ = q₂

-2730 = q₂ - 4q₂

-2730 = - 3q₂

q₂ = -2730/-3

q₂ = 910

Substituting 910 for q₂ in (2):

2730 - 2q₂ = q₁

2730 - 2(910)= q₁

2730 - 1820 = q₁

910 = q₁

q₁ = 910

The Cournot equilibrium quantities are: q₁= 910; and q₂ = 910

Suppose electricity generates a negative externality in production. If​ so, then ____
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A negative externality refers to the situation when the cost of production is borne by a third party which is not involved in the production process.

In case there is a negative externality present, the marginal social cost will be greater than the marginal private cost. The competitive price will be lower than the socially optimal price.

Since a third party partially bears the cost, the producer will be able to produce more than the optimal level. There will be a deadweight loss of social welfare.
