Answer: The correct answer is (A) : Positive upward slope.

Explanation: A demand curve is basically a graph like any other with the variables in potted on both the x-axis (left to right) and the y-axis (top to bottom). Understanding the definition of demand would make it easier to understand why the answer is option A and why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.

Demand can be defined as the quantity of a commodity or service that a consumer is willing and able to buy at a given price and at a particular point in time. And the law of demand states that “other factors being held constant, the higher the price of a commodity, the lower the quantity being demanded by the consumer. And the lower the price of a commodity, the higher the quantity being demanded by a consumer.”

This is simply a rational consumer behavior. So if the price of movie tickets were to go up let’s say from $10 to $15 then a consumer who previously could afford to watch 8 movies in a month (that’s $80) would be having second thoughts and so, rather than spend $120 per month on movie tickets, would be more inclined to watch less movies and stay within his/her $80 budget.

Therefore, on the demand curve, as the price of movie tickets moves positively towards the right side (on the x-axis), the quantity demanded would move negatively downwards (on the y-axis). As one variable increases the other one decreases, and vice versa. That explains why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.

The supply curve of labor is upward sloping if:____________
horsena [70]

Answer:

Option A, “the substitution effect dominates the income effect” is correct.

Explanation:

If the real wage increases then the opportunity cost for leisure will also increase. Therefore, an increase in real wages and a rise in the opportunity cost of leisure induce labor to supply more workforce or labor force. This is known as the substitution effect. Moreover, when this substitution effect is greater than the income effect then the supply curve for labor is upward sloping.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Jun's pressure and influence has invalidated Mika's consent.

Explanation:

By threatening Mika with prosecution if she doesn't set a discount for the sale of her house on the grounds of her debt to her, she has influenced Jun's consent or rather coerced it and therefore Mika's consent is invalidated in the agreement. Consent is free under law if contract and should be given under undue influence, duress or any other vitiating factor that will render the contract null and void such as the example above

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a. Contribution margin per passenger ($50-$20) = $30

b. Contribution margin ratio (30/50) = 60%

c. Operating Income  (390000-270000) = $120,000

d. Operating Profit = $42,000

Explanation:

a. Contribution formula = Sale - Variable Cost

Sale price per passenger = $50

Variable Cost per passenger = $20

Contribution margin per passenger ($50-$20)  = $30

b. Contribution Margin ratio formula = Contribution/Sale

Sales per passenger = 50

Contribution per passenger = 30

Contribution margin ratio (30/50) = 60%

c. Operating profit = Contribution margin- Fixed Cost

Monthly sale total for 13000 passenger

Sale per passenger = $50

Total sale for 13000 passenger 13000*50 = $650,000

Contribution Margin per passenger =$30

Total Contribution margin for 13000 passenger = 13000*30 =                                    $390,000

Less: Fixed Cost = 270,000

Operating Income  (390000-270000) = $120,000

d. Contribution margin formula= (Sale x Contribution margin ratio)

Contribution margin = (520000*60%) = $312,000

Less: Fixed Cost = 270,000

Operating Profit = $42,000
