Answer:
Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.
The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.
The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case
False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.
Explanation:
Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case
Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case
Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case
False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: The price level is constant in the long run.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of the <em>"aggregate supply"</em> refers to the total amount of goods and services that firms are willing and are able to offer at a certain price level given and at a determine period of time. Moreover, at the long-run the aggregate supply curve is not affected by many variables as it is in the short run and this is due to the fact in the long run the economy is said to be at full capacity and optimally and also because the changes in the aggregate demand are only affective in the short run to the economy's total output.
Answer:
$1,138.92
Explanation:
Current bond price can be calculated present value (PV) of cash flows formula below:
Current price or PV of bond = C{[1 - (1 + i)^-n] ÷ i} + {M × (1 + i)^-n} ...... (1)
Where:
Face value = $1,000
r = coupon rate = 7.2% annually = (7.2% ÷ 2) semiannually = 3.6% semiannually
C = Amount of semiannual interest payment = Face value × r
C = $1,000 × 3.6% = $36
n = number of payment periods remaining = (12 - 1) × 2 = 22
i = YTM = 5.5% annually = (5.5% ÷ 2) semiannually = 2.75% semiannually = 0.0275 semiannually
M = value at maturity = face value = $1,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PV of bond = 36{[1 - (1 + 0.0275)^-22] ÷ 0.0275} + {1,000 × (1 + 0.0275)^-22}
PV of bond = $1,138.92.
Therefore, the current bond price is $1,138.92.
Answer:
3 cases
Explanation:
Marginal product refers to change in the total output when an additional input is employed. For example, output is 5 units when 2 laborers are employed. When another unit of input i.e 3rd laborer is employed, the output rises to 9 units. In this case marginal product of the 3rd unit of labor would be 9 - 5 i.e 4 units.
In the given case, before Atul is hired, the production was 4 cases per week. After his being hired, it rose to 7 cases per week. Thus Atul's marginal product in the given case would be 7 - 4 i.e 3 cases.
