Answer: b). falls from a positive amount to another positive amount

Explanation: Given that diet coke and diet pepsi give the consumer equal level of satisfaction. Diet coke and diet pepsi are substitutes, since, the consumer does not care about consuming diet pepsi and diet coke.  For substitute goods the consumer will buy the cheapest of the two. When pdc (price of diet coke) rises but it remains less than pdp(price of diet pepsi) then the consumption of dc will decrease but it will still be above the consumption of dp. Since it is still relatively less expensive than diet pepsi. So the consumer will buy diet coke than diet pepsi, which means consumption of diet coke, dc falls from one positive amount to another positive amount.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Did the technology push the changes in the world, or was it the other way around? What evidence is opinion based upon or how did you draw your conclusions?

In my opinion the world started to change during the 1970s when Steve Jobs introduced the personal computer. Before him, only huge corporations could afford computers since they were huge and costed millions. Since then, information technology (IT) has increased in gigantic steps and when the internet was available for public use, the world as we know it changed.

When the world was struggling again during the great recession, my hero came back and changed the way IT industry again with the iPhone and the whole app culture. I am a little over 25, and I can tell that everything was very different when I was a small kid. You actually needed to read a newspaper and use encyclopedias (very large books).

Now everything is on the web and now most of us are even working using the internet. In just seconds we know what is happening in China or any other country in the world, while before all we heard about China was that were many Chinese and they were communists. IT has enabled whole new industries that boost the economy much more than any other manufacturing business ever had. The world would be a much different place if it wasn't for the Apple I, the internet or the iPhone.

Suppose the civilian noninstitutionalized working age population is 35.9 million in Laborland, 4.6 million are working part time
frozen [14]

Answer:

The answers are:

A) 25.23 million people

B) 70.28%

C) 4.92 million people

D) 19.50%

Explanation:

Laborland's total labor force can be calculated by adding those who are employed and those who are unemployed but were searching for a job during the last month.

  • 4.6 million (part-time employed) + 15.71 million (full-time employed) + 3.2 million (looked for a job two weeks ago) + 1.72 million (looked for a job between two and four weeks ago) = 25.23 million people

Laborland's labor force participation rate can be calculated by dividing the labor force by the total population.

  • (25.23 million / 35.9 million) x 100% = 70.28%

Laborland's total unemployed can be calculated by adding the number of people without a job that searched for a job during the last month.

  • 3.2 million + 1.72 million = 4.92 million people

Laborland's unemployment rate can be calculated by dividing the total number of unemployed people by the total work force.

  • (4.92 million / 25.23 million) x 100% = 19.50%
