Answer:

B. raise prices.

Explanation:

When the demand increase, while the firm is not able to increase the production, they raise the prices, because there will be buyers willing to pay more. That is the classical equilibrium of the market, offer - demand: increases in demand push the prices upward, increasing in offer pushes the prices downward.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever

Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5). However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5 to $2. This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone. This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit. Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

sattari [20]

Answer:

The formula to calculate the Budget Balance is

Government Income - Government Expenditure

in this case

$1.05 billion - $1.06 billion = -<u> 0.01 billion or - $100 million</u>

Explanation:

A budget balance is reached when a government expenditures are equal to it's income.

In this case, since the country's only source of income it is slightly less than than what is required to run the government, it has a budget deficient.

Since the country does not export or trade with outside countries, the government will need to take out a loan to make up for this deficient.

The town of Draper, with a population of 20,000, sits adjacent to State University, which has an enrollment of 27,000 students.

madam [21]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Let the break even sales be represented by x.

Firstly, we will calculate the total fixed cost which will be:

Investment = $4.5million/30 = $150,000

Add: Annual labor cost = $140,000

Add: Interest = 8% × $4.5million = $360,000

Total Fixed cost = $650000

The total variable cost will be: = 0.60 × x = 0.60x

Therefore, total cost:

= fixed cost + variable cost

= 650000 + 0.60x

Total revenue = Selling price × sales

= 3.20 × x = 3.20x

Break even point will now be:

Total revenue = Total cost

3.20x = 650000 + 0.60x

3.20x - 0.60x = 650000

2.60x = 650000

x = 650000/2.60

x = 250000

Therefore, number of cars that would have to park in the lot on an annual basis to pay off the project is 250000.

b. The approximate number of cars that would have to park in the lot on a daily basis will be:

= 250000/365 days

= 684.91

=685 cars

Georgia, a widow, has take-home pay of $1,900 a week. her disability insurance coverage replaces 60 percent of her earnings afte

scoray [572]

Georgia will receive $17,100.

If Georgia was out of work for 19 weeks she would receive 60% of her weekly pay.

In order to calculate 60% you multiply $1,900 x .6 = $1,140.

Georgia’s Disability insurance will pay $1,140 per week after a four week waiting period. She is out for 19 weeks, so with the 4 week waiting period, she will collect benefits for 15 weeks. 15 weeks x $1,140 = $17,100 total.

If equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the targeted level of GDP, and the Multiplier Model has an mpe of 0.75, then we can

Olegator [25]

Answer:

c. increasing; $62.5

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

= 1 ÷ 1 - 0.75

= 1 ÷ 0.25

= 4

Now if the equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the expected level of GDP

So, the government spending would be increased by

= $250 billion ÷ 4

= $62.5

Hence, the correct option is c.
