Van A costs $50,000 with a variable cost of $12.00 per average delivery, all inclusive of gasoline, insurance, etc. Van B costs $70,000 with a variable cost of $11.00 per average delivery. The company is also considering a courier service which requires a $60,000 non-refundable joiner fee and a variable cost of $13.00 per average delivery. Last but not least the company is also considering a new drone delivery option that requires an investment in infrastructure of $100,000 and a delivery cost of $15.00 per delivery, but costs are expected to drop sharply in the foreseeable future.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Increases; Ambiguous effect on equilibrium quantity

Explanation:

This situation states that the supply of hotel rooms decreases and the demand for hotel rooms increases due to the hurricane, so this change will shift both the supply curve and the demand curve in the hotel rooms market.

This will shift the supply curve leftwards and demand curve rightwards, therefore as a result, there is an increase in the equilibrium prices and the effect of this change on the equilibrium quantity is ambiguous because that will be dependent upon the magnitude of the shifts of demand and supply curve.

You save $5,000.00 and invest 60% of it in stocks while leaving the rest in a savings account earning a 4.9% APR. The stock incr
LiRa [457]
Amount invested in stocks 5,000 X 0.60 = 3,000

After one year gains 9%
3,000 X ( 1 + 0.09) = 3,270

After second year loses 4%
3,270 X ( 1 - 0.04) = 3,139.2 amount after second year

So Stocks gained 139.2 ( 3139.2 - 3000)

Amount of saving account
5,000 X 0.40 = 2,000

After 2 years
2,200 X ( 1 + 0.049)^(2) = 2,200.802

So gained 200.802 (2200.802 - 2000)

Total amount after 2 years
3,139.2 + 2,200.802 = 5,340.002

Gained 340.002 (5340.002 -5000)
