The answer to your question is...

Letter B. Having lunch right after having breakfast

All of the other options do satisfy the person, while B, is totally not usual and might make a person feel bad from their stomach.

Marginal utility<span> is the additional satisfaction a consumer gains from consuming one more unit of a good or service.

so the decreasing in satisfaction from getting goods is (I think) B</span>

The total cost (in dollars) of manufacturing x auto body frames is C(x)=60,000+400x. (A) Find the average cost per unit if 20

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a) Average price per unit = 700

b) average marginal cost = -1.5 dollars/frame

c) For 201 frames are produced = $698.5

Explanation:

Given Data:

C(x) = 60000 + 400x

a) Average cost for 200 units:

Total Cost of 200 units will be:

C(200) = 60000 + 400(200)

C(200) = 140,000

Total Cost of 200 units = 140,000

Average price per unit = Total Cost / number of units

Average price per unit = 140,000/200

Average price per unit = 700

b) Marginal Average Cost:

We know that marginal cost = $C^{'}$ (x)

And the average marginal cost = $\frac{d}{dx}$ $\frac{C(x)}{x}$

So,

= the derivative of ( $\frac{60,000 + 400(x)}{x}$ )

= the derivative of ( $\frac{(60,000)}{x} + 400$ )

= $\frac{-60,000}{x^{2} }$ + 0

So,

average marginal cost = $\frac{-60,000}{x^{2} }$

at x = 200 units

average marginal cost = $\frac{-60,000}{200^{2} }$

average marginal cost = -1.5 dollars/frame

c) Average cost per frame if 201 frames are produced:

We already seen in the part b that, the average marginal cost is decreasing by 1.5 dollars /frame. So,

if 201 frames are produced the instead of 200 then the difference is of 1 frame and we discussed that average marginal cost of 1 frame is decreasing at 1.5 dollars per frame.

So,

As we know the average cost from part a = 700 dollars.

Therefore, for 201 item = 700 dollars -1.5 dollars

For 201 frames are produced = $698.5

True or false?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

If we have been given an assignment, it is important to set a schedule of activities to ensure that the final form of our work is delivered on or before the <em>due date</em>, if possible. In the way, there could be problems of various types -for example, technology when delivering a report- that could interrupt our work. Therefore, it is important to consider those risks while scheduling so that we have a contingency plan that will not impact our research and the date we will deliver it.

Most economists believe that prices are:

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: Most economist believe that prices are flexible in the long run but many are sticky in the short run.

Explanation:

Prices are sticky in the short run because producers and buyers take time to adapt to new situations. If there is a shortage of butter, lets say, the economic theory says that the prices will rise because there is less butter ( ceteris paribus = all the other factors remain constant). Actually, buyers and suppliers need time to adapt to the new situation. However, in the long run buyers and suppliers have time to adapt to new situations so prices become more flexible.

Which of the functions of the Federal Reserve is appropriately matched with its correct institution?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: C

Explanation: C. Holds reserve balances for depository institutions; The Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve operates with a sizable balance sheet that includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet contains a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. For decades, market participants have closely studied the evolution of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet to understand more clearly important details concerning the implementation of monetary policy. Over recent years, the development and implementation of a number of new lending facilities to address the financial crisis have both increased complexity of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and has led to increased public interest in it.

Each week, the Federal Reserve publishes its balance sheet, typically on Thursday afternoon around 4:30 p.m. The balance sheet is included in the Federal Reserve's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," available on this website. The various tables in the statistical release are described below, an explanation of the important elements in each table is given, and a link to each table in the current release is provided. The Federal Reserve System is composed of several layers. It is governed by the presidentially appointed board of governors or Federal Reserve Board (FRB). Twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, located in cities throughout the nation, regulate and oversee privately owned commercial banks.[15][16][17] Nationally chartered commercial banks are required to hold stock in, and can elect some of the board members of, the Federal Reserve Bank of their region. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) sets monetary policy. It consists of all seven members of the board of governors and the twelve regional Federal Reserve Bank presidents, though only five bank presidents vote at a time (the president of the New York Fed and four others who rotate through one-year voting terms). There are also various advisory councils. Thus, the Federal Reserve System has both public and private components.

You are the executive director of a nonprofit that runs an animal shelter and animal services, such as low-cost spay/neuter prog

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

I will:

b) Hold meetings with employees, volunteers, and representatives of other local shelters and listen carefully as they brainstorm ideas.

c) Honestly acknowledge the challenges the organization faces while also communicating optimism about finding the resources to fulfill your mission.

Explanation:

a) Withholding information about the organization's financial picture will not make employees to be loyal. They are likely to find out the true position sooner than later. If information is withheld and they find out later, they would never be loyal. They would certainly leave the organization before financing is found for the organization sustenance.

b) Deceiving people by staying in the office and maintaining a "poker face" is not an option either. "Poker face" cannot last forever. One day, the true picture will show on the face. Deception is not an art for business progress.
