A factory produces product A according to the production function QA = 100XA, where XA denotes the amount of input and QA is the

quantity produced. It also produces product B according to the production function QB = 200XB - XB2, where XB denotes the amount of input and QB is the quantity produced. The total available amount of input X is 100 units. The firm’s profit-maximizing allocation of input X is: Group of answer choices XA = 60 and XB = 40. XA = 50 and XB = 50. XA = 0 and XB = 100. XA = 100 and XB = 0. XA = 30 and XB = 70.

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

XA + XB = 100

QA = 100XA

QB = 200XB - XB^2

Use the fact that,

XA = 100 - XB

Now total production is Q = QA + QB

Q = 100XA + 200XB - XB^2

Q = 100 × (100 - XB) + 200XB - XB^2

Q = 10,000 + 100XB - XB^2

Output is maximum when Q'(XB) = 0

100 = 2XB = 0

XB = 50

XA = 50

Therefore, the firm’s profit-maximizing allocation of input X is 50 units of XA and 50 units of XB.

Robert Necco and Nelson Packard are economists at Economic Research Associates. ERA asks Necco and Packard for their opinions ab
Lorico [155]

Answer: B) Correct Incorrect

Explanation:

Whilst it was generally believed at some point that raising taxes and Government Spending by the same amount would have no effect, research has disproven this thought.

This is because it was shown that an increase in Government Spending leads to a larger increase in GDP than an increase in taxes reduces it.

This is because when the Government spends money, the Multiplier effect of Government Spending is always 1 more than that of the Taxes therefore raising taxes and spending by the same amounts still increases the Real GDP because Government Spending will create more income than taxes will take.

Necco is right, Packard is wrong.

Which of the basic principles of economics is at work in the following situation? You decide how many cups of coffee to have whe
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The answer is: Cost-Benefits Analysis

Explanation:

A cost benefit analysis is done to identify the benefits of an action as well as the associated costs. You then subtract the costs from benefits, and if the numbers are positive you know it´s a good project. But if the costs are too big and offset the benefits, then the project is no good.

In this specific case, you have to balance the cost of drinking an extra cup of coffee (how jittery or nervous it makes you feel) with the benefits of drinking that cup of coffee (all the extra work you can do). Usually someone will keep studying and drinking coffee until they just can´t bear standing awake. It also depends on how much you really need a good grade on that specific test.

Korvikt [17]
Think through this one:
--The bottom two answers concern budget deficits or surpluses, but the question doesn't tell you anything about tax revenue vs. government spending. So neither of those answers applies.
--The first answer is impossible because the economy is already at full employment, so employment can't increase
--Inflation is the answer. Increasing the money supply by 6% while output is increasing by only 2% means that prices will rise: the money supply is increasing faster than output.
