Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
a. An increase in the number of cars will lead to an increase in demand as more people will demand for gasoline. This will lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve from D1 to D2. The increase in demand will also lead to the rise in price of gasoline from P1 to P2.
b. When the economy moves into a recession, people will purchase less cars because of the recession, as the income level of the consumers will have fallen. Due to the decrease in the number of cars, the demand for gasoline also reduces. This is denoted by the leftward shift in the demand curve in the attached diagram from D1 to D2.
c. The increase in the price of car insurance, taxes, maintenance will also lead to a reduction in the demand for cars which will in turn, reduce the demand for gasoline. Thereby the demand curve shifts from from D1 to D2 leftward.
d. The expectations of substantial increase in the price of gasoline, will lead to a higher demand for gasoline in the present period because due to the expectation of a higher price, the consumers will go and buy more gasoline and keep for future use. As the demand for gasoline rises, this will lead to the demand curve for gasoline to shift rightward and also the price will increase from P1 to P2.

Answer:
The correct option here is C)
Explanation:
The correct answer is C) because Economics is nothing but empirical science and by empirical science it means that the economists will have to study the real world examples or evidences to create a support for their theory. And based on this , we can definitely say that from the given choices in the question option C) is definitely correct, they first collect the real world observations and then analyze them to see whether these actions are in accordance with their theory.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Arbot Co. manufactures appliances at three manufacturing facilities in the United States. Each location has a plant manager who oversees the manufacturing process for that location. Segmented income statements are prepared for each plant and each product manufactured in the plant. The salary of each plant manager is a traceable fixed cost to the plant and a common fixed cost for the individual product lines made in the plant.
The traceable fixed cost for a corporation means that this cost has a relationship between cost and effect related to a particular area or region of the country, or related to a process just operated in a specific location. This traceable fixed cost is part of the equation because there is a peculiar business that includes it. Or there is a necessity to be covered.
Answer:
a. Overstates Inflation.
In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.
b. Understated Inflation
Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.
c. Overstates Inflation
In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.
d. Accurate representation of Inflation
In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.
