Answer:
Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.
Explanation:
This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.
For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.
In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.
Answer:
a) see attached graph. There is nothing unusual with the supply curve, it is simply fixed. This happens to most services, e.g. there is a fixed number of hotel rooms available for rent, in the short run you cannot add more rooms per night if the demand increases. In order to increase the quantity supplied, you would need to build a larger hotel, or in this case, a larger stadium.
b) the equilibrium price is $8 and the equilibrium quantity is 8,000 tickets
c) if the college plans to increase enrollment, the demand might increase, leading to a higher equilibrium price, but the supply will remain the same until the stadium is expanded.
Explanation:
Price Quantity Demanded (Qd) Quantity Supplied (Qs)
$4 10,000 8,000
$8 8,000 8,000
$12 6,000 8,000
$16 4,000 8,000
$20 2,000 8,000
When researching your prospective business you should focus on your product and target customers.
Answer:
d. Both the longer term and the higher risk would tend to make the interest rate higher on the bond issued by Knight.
Explanation:
Both the longer term and the higher risk would tend to make the interest rate higher on the bond issued by Knight because this bond is risky and uncertain.
This means the company would not want to run at a loss
Answer:
$1.07
Explanation:
The marginal cost measures the change in total cost of adding on more worker divided by the change in product for this additional worker (marginal product of labor). When adding one more worker, costs will increase by $80 (wage rate), while product will increase by 75. Therefore, the marginal cost is:
The marginal cost is $1.07.
