Suppose the current price of a good is $160. At this price, the quantity supplied is 130 units, and the quantity demanded is 55
mixer [17]

Answer:

80, 85

Explanation:

At current price,

Quantity Demanded is less than Quantity supplied

As Qd = 55, Qs = 130

• so market is currently experiencing a surplus, as Qs > Qd

•so to adjust, market price will decrease,

so that Quantity Demanded rise & Quantity supplied falls, till Qd = Qs

• eqm Q = 105

• eqm P = $ 155

As if P falls by 1, then P = 159

Qd = 55+10 = 65

Qs = 130-5 = 125

If P = 158, Qd = 75, Qs = 120

If P = 156, Qd = 95, Qs = 110

P = 155, Qd = 105, Qs = 105

given data

Intercept = 40,000

Slope = 20

machine hours X = 8000

to find out

what is the predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April

solution

we will use here least square equation that  will be

Y = intercept + Slope ×  X      ............................1

here Y is cost of maintenance  and X is maintenance hours

so put here value we get from equation 1

Y = 40000 +  ( 20 ×   8000 )

Y = 40000 + 160000

Y = 200000

so  predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April is 200000

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Percentage of Personal consumption expenditures is 70.07%

Explanation:

The most common way to measure the national income account is gross domestic product (GDP)

GDP = C + I + G + (X – M) or

GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government investment + government spending + (exports – imports).

government purchases ($1,050) is government spending

personal consumption expenditures ($4,800) is private consumption

imports ($370)

exports ($240)

gross private domestic investment ($1,130) is gross investment

GDP = $1,050 +$4,800+$1,130+$240-$370=6.850

Personal consumption expenditures proportion  is $4,800/6.850=0,7007

in %= 70.07%

faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

  1. if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
  2. if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
