Which of the following is not correct? a. The consumer price index gives economists a way of turning dollar figures into meaning
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The consumer price index is used to measure the quantity of goods and services that the economy is producing.

Explanation:

CPI  or consumer price index is a measure of changes in the average prices of a basket of products and services in a given time. The selected goods and services are a fair representation of consumption expenditure in the economy. Economists use the CPI as a Macroeconomic indicator of inflation.

As a measure of inflation, the CPI statistics communicate increases or decreases in the prices of goods and services in the economy. It forms a basis for policy decisions by the government that aid in the prevention of reduced purchasing power of the dollar.  CPI is all about changes in prices and nothing to do with the production of goods and services.

Suppose that a firm produces 10 units of output. Its Average Variable Cost (AVC) = $25, Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = $5, and Margi
Andreyy89

Answer:

Total Cost  = $300

Average Total Cost = $30  

correct option is a.) Total cost is $300

Explanation:

given data

produces output = 10 units

Marginal Cost = $30

Average Variable Cost = $25

Average Fixed Cost = $5

solution

first we get here total cost that is

Total Cost = Total Variable Cost + Total Fixed Cost    .................................1

so here Total Variable Cost = Average Variable Cost × Output    

Total Variable Cost = $25 ×  10

Total Variable Cost =  $250

and total fix cost is = Average Fixed Cost × Output

total fix cost = $5 × 10 =

total fix cost = $50

so Total Cost is here

Total Cost  = $250 + $50

Total Cost  = $300

A) is correct

and

Average Total Cost will be

Average Total Cost = \frac{total\ cost}{out\ put}    ...................2

Average Total Cost = \frac{300}{10} = $30

Average Total Cost = $30

An export subsidy will ________ producer surplus, ________ consumer surplus, ________ government revenue, and ________ overall d
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

increase; decrease; decrease; decrease.

Explanation:

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.

Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;

I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.

II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.

An export subsidy can be defined as any government policy that encourages the export of goods to other countries while discouraging the sales of goods in the domestic market through the use of tax reliefs, low cost loans, government foreign adverts, etc.

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus, decrease consumer surplus, decrease government revenue, and decrease overall domestic national welfare.

A homebuyer wishes to finance the purchase with a $95,000 mortgage with a 20-year term. What is the maximum interest rate the bu
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.811% per month is the amximum rate it can affor

or 9.732% annual rate with monhly compounding.

Explanation:

We have to solve for the rate at which the monthly payment equals 900 dollars.

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 900.00

time 240

rate r

PV $95,000.0000

900 \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-240} }{r} = 95,000\\

Given the complexity of the formula we solve using excel or a financial calcualtor

we write on a1 =PV(A2;240;95000)

on a2 we write any number between 0 and 1

then we use goal seek tool adn define that we want A1 to be 95,000 by changing A2 (which is the argument for rate)

the value of A2 after this is our answer:

900 \times \frac{1-(1+0.00811)^{-240} }{0.00811} = PV\\

PV $95,000.0000
