A student makes the following​ argument: ​"A price floor reduces the amount of a product that consumers buy because it keeps the

price above the competitive market equilibrium. A price​ ceiling, on the other​ hand, increases the amount of the product that consumers buy because it keeps the price below the competitive market​ equilibrium." Do you agree with the​ student's reasoning?

Fed [463]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is: Yes, the student is right.

Explanation:

Some industries, especially agriculture, work on some unique ways due to their complexity. For instance, the government sets the price floor and the price ceiling for the main crops produced in the country. In order to do this, the government owns and manages huge warehouses and silos.

When the production of crops is higher than usual, the price of that crop will tend to drop because of excessive supply. The government then buys the crop to put a price floor and takes the overstock to its warehouses. That enables the government to control the market so that farmers get a "fair price" for their crops. If the government didn´t do anything, farmers would lose a lot of money and their customers (agricultural corporations) would probably overstock. That at the same time would cause further problems in the future due to lower future sales because the agricultural corporations companies are overstocked.  

When farmers have a bad year due to drought or flooding, their production levels will fall, so the price of the crops would rise due to excessive demand. Then the government sells the crops it had stored previously in its warehouses to put a price ceiling. If the government didn´t do this then a lot of poor people would not be able to buy enough quantities of food.

Answer:

D) An illusory promise

Explanation:

An illusory promise is not enforceable. Illusory promises are simply illusions that seem or appear to a contract, but are not.

In this case, there is no consideration at all, therefore none of the parties is bound by a contract. It would be different if the company promised to pay a bonus if its profits are xx%. How can someone determine what is considered high profits, and how can you be sure that management will agree?

It is basically like telling someone else that you will give them something if you are happy and willing to do it. How can someone determine if you are happy or not, and how can someone know if you are willing to do it or not?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Oscar Lewis’s "culture of poverty" is usually interpreted as blaming the poor people for being poor. It's like, you are poor because you decide to be poor, and Cho (and I) believe that it is not true.

While Mario Luis Small believed that someone doesn't have or belongs to a culture just because his or her race, ethnic group or gender. His work relates to how environmental, socio-cultural conditions influence poor neighborhoods and their residents.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1) $0.27 per loaf of bread

2) $0.28 per loaf of bread

3) 3.7%

Explanation:

current production = 1,800 loaves per month

current labor expense = $8 per hour

constant utility cost = $800

ingredients per loaf = $0.40

multi-factor productivity = total output / (labor + materials + overhead)

current multi-factor productivity = 1,800 loaves / ($5,120 + $800 + $720) = $0.27 per loaf of bread

new output level = 1,800 x 1.35 = 2,430 loaves

new multi-factor productivity = 2,430 loaves / ($6,912 + $800 + $972) = $0.28 per loaf of bread

% increase = ($0.28 - $0.27) / $0.27 = 3.7%
