Answer:
The correct answer is: market prices that are determined by consumers and producers acting in their own self-interest.
Explanation:
In a market system, the price of a good is determined by the intersection of demand for goods by consumers and the supply of goods by the producers. The price is determined at the point where the market forces of demand and supply are equal.
The producer is trying to maximize its profit while the consumer is trying to maximize its utility. Both are working for their self-interest and in this way are able to allocate scarce resources through the working of the market system.
Answer:
1. b. fixed costs.
2. d. fixed factory overhead.
3. c. mixed costs.
Explanation:
Costs are usually classified as fixed and variable cost. Fixed cost are cost that don not vary with the level of activities (usually expressed as units of production or sales) of an organization.
Variable cost on the other hand are cost that varies with the level of activity. A combination of these cost is called mixed cost.
Under variable costing, all cost are dependent on activity level hence are not fixed.
Answer:
Increase the production to decrease the fixed cost per unit
Explanation:
The reason is that if the production increases then the fixed cost will start decrease because the level of production and fixed cost per unit are inversely proportional to each other. Now if the production increases to 1250 ($500/0.4) units then the firm is at no profit and no loss position (Breakeven position). So all the firm has to do is increase its production above 1250 and generate the demand of increased production at the same price.

Explanation:
Tax on a case of beer = amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4
Burden of tax on consumers = amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $6 = $1
Burden of tax on producers = Tax charged - Burden of tax on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3
