Calculate the consumers' surplus at the indicated unit price p for the demand equation

Business

weeeeeb [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

consumer surplus = 0.5 cents

Explanation:

The unit price: p = 6 ,  demand equation = p = 8 - 2q^{\frac{1}{3} }

first find the value of q by equating the unit price and the demand equation

8 - 2q^{\frac{1}{3} } = 6

= 8 - 6 = 2q^1/3

hence q = 1

now the consumer surplus can be calculated by integrating and inputting all the values

   Cs = \int\limits^1_0 {(8-2q^(1/3) )} \, dq - 6

        = [ 8q - 2(\frac{(q^(4/3))}{4/3}) ] - 6     applying the limits of q = 1 , 0

Cs = 8 - 3/2 * ( 1 ) ^ 4/3  - 0 + 0 - 6

     = 8 - 3/2 - 6 =  1/2 = 0.5 cents

belka [17]

Answer:

c. Alcohol consumption decreases, whereas the alcohol market price increases if the tax is placed on the sellers or decreases if the tax is placed on the buyers.

Explanation:

Elastic demand is the situation that when the price of a good goes up the quantity demanded reduces. Since alcohol demand and supply are both elastic, If commodity tax is imposed on sellers then they decrease the supply and increase the price of alcohol. The increased price of alcohol will make buyers buy less of alcohol thereby reducing the consumption of alcohol.

Your Economics instructor assigns your class to investigate factors associated with the gross domestic product (GDP) of nations.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The Correlation analysis “R” is measured to compute the strength of relationship among variables. Moreover, the value of correlation is calculated among -1 to +1. Which implies that if the computed value is near to -1 then there will be strong but negative relation and if near to +1 then it is strong but relation among the variable. However zero is consider as neutral point.  

A. The computed value of correlation is - 0.772. The value identifies that that there is a strong but negative association among the variables (GDP and infant mortality rate).

B. The correlation analysis cannot computed among the variables continent and GDP because "continent" is a categorical variable not quantitative.  

C. The computed value of correlation is higher than 1. Thus, the statement implies that there is a very strong relationship among life expectancy and GDP which is incorrect. As the association cannot be higher than 1.  

D. There is a strong relationship among literacy rate and GDP as the relationship is nearer to 1. Furthermore, the association among literacy rate and GDP doesn’t suggest the causation.

E. The computed correlation among the variables is 0.90. Which indicated that the variables goes up. That is, when the GDP goes down the import is also decrease and when GDP increases the import increases Thus, the there is a positive correlation.

Flyer Company sells a product in a competitive marketplace. Market analysis indicates that its product would probably sell at $4
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price per unit = $48

Desired profit margin on sales = 12.5%

Flyer’s current full cost for the product = $44 per unit

Profit = Selling price × profit margin

         = $48 × 12.5%

         = $6

Target cost of unit = Selling price - Profit

                               = $48 - $6

                               = $42
