Answer:

A. -many substitute

Explanation:

Deadweight loss is inefficiency that occurs as a result of taxation. It's the change in production or consumption as a result of tax.

If tax is imposed on a good with many substitutes, the deadweight loss would be greater because consumers can easily shift consumption to another good that is cheaper.

If a good has inelastic supply or demand, the deadweight loss is less because consumers and producers do not change quantity demanded and supplied if prices increase as a result of tax.

I hope my answer helps you.

Answer:

$41,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of direct materials cost charged to completed jobs is shown below:

= Direct Material cost - charging cost in direct material cost

= $57,000 - $16,000

= $41,000

By subtracting the charging cost that added in the direct material cost from the direct material cost we can find out the direct material cost charged that is computed above.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

They came back home at 12 pm

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The Burkes pay their babysitter $5 per hour before 11 P.M. and $7.50 after 11 P.M. One evening they went out for 4 hr and paid the sitter $27.50.

We need to formulate the total cost:

TC= 5*x + 7.5*y

x=5*4= 20

y=7.5*1= 7.5

TC= 5*4 + 7.5*1= $27.5

They came back home at 12 pm

Vika [28.1K]

The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is $Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16$ .

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

$Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

$Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}$

$Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}$

$Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879$
