Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

We know that there is a inverse relationship between the price of a good and its quantity demanded.

Relative inelastic demand refers to the demand where percentage change in the quantity demanded is relatively smaller than the percentage change in price of the good.

Relative inelastic demand curve is a demand curve which is relatively steeper in shape but not perfectly inelastic or vertical.

A firm uses 80 hours of labor and 6 units of capital to produce 10,000 gadgets per day. Labor's marginal product is 4 gadgets

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Use more labor and fewer capital.

Explanation:

Given that,

For producing 10,000 gadgets,

Labor hours use = 80

Capital = 6 units

Marginal product of labor = 4 gadgets per hour

Marginal product of capital = 20 gadgets per unit

Cost of each unit of labor = $8 per hour

Cost of each unit of capital = $50 per unit

Therefore,

Marginal product per dollar for labor is as follows:

$\frac{MP_{L} }{w} =\frac{4}{8}$

= 0.5

Marginal product per dollar for capital is as follows:

$\frac{MP_{k} }{r} =\frac{20}{50}$

= 0.4

Hence, the marginal product per dollar for labor is greater than the marginal product per dollar for capital, which means that the firm should use more labor and fewer capital.

Does Firm A have a dominant strategy? The dominant strategy for Firm A is a low price. No, there is no dominant strategy for Fi

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

I will give a basic hint to understanding this problem

Prevailing technique or what is best known as "Dominant Strategy" is an activity profile that is best for a specific player review of what different players are picking. for this situation there is no prevailing procedure for any player on the grounds that there is no single activity profile that expands the result for any player.

So we can say from this observations that the following is valid;

A doesn't have a dominant strategy

B doesn't have a dominant strategy

There are two Nash equilibria for this situation. Both the organizations are charging a low cost and both the organizations are charging a significant expense.

As such they can augment their benefit given what the adversary is doing.

I hope this explains the observation seen.

cheers I hope this helps

A company purchases 12,000 pounds of materials. The materials price variance is $6,000 favorable. What is the difference between

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.

Explanation:

Given Data:

Actual Quantity = 12,000 Pounds

Material Price Variance = $6,000

We know the formula for Material Price Variance is:

Materials Price Variance = <em>(Actual quantity × Actual price)</em> – <em>(Actual quantity × Standard price) ----- (1)</em>

For convenience, suppose:

Actual Price = AP & Standard Price = SP

Rearranging the equation (1) and substituting the Actual and standard price with AP and SP we get,

Material Price Variance = (Actual Quantity x AP) – (Actual Quantity x SP)

Taking Actual Quantity as common on the left hand side of equation we get:

Material Price Variance= Actual Quantity (AP – SP) ---- (2)

Putting the values of Material Variance and Actual Quantity in equation (2), we get:

$6000=12,000 (AP – SP)

Rearranging the equation we get,

AP – SP = $6000/12,000

Finally, AP – SP = $0.5

Conclusion:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

C) formed a valid contract because Rachel's outward expressions showed the formation of a contract.

Explanation:

A valid contract is a binding and enforceable agreement, where all parties are legally bound to perform the contract.

Probably the most important part of a contract is the existence of an offer and acceptance. Once a valid offer is accepted, it binds the parties into a valid contract.

In this case, Rachel accepted Julius´s offer to buy her boat, so an offer and acceptance exists.
