<h2>In the short run, these workers are <u>variable</u> inputs, and the ovens are <u>Fixed</u> inputs.</h2>
Explanation:
By analyzing the information, we can understand that, Megan can grow slowly and steadily because the constraint here is that, Megan has so many people to work but they are students and he cannot buy more than 2 oven's at present considering his financial background and the size of the kitchen.
So the wise work is that, he keeps changing the number of workers every time but the number of oven to be used every time is only 2.
So workers are variable (changing) and ovens are fixed.
Answer:
1. AirEurope should produce if it wants to maximize its profit.
2. False
Explanation:
New payoffs after subsidy:
Aircraft/ AirEurope Produce Not Produce
Produce -3 , <u>6</u> 75 , 0
Not Produce 0 , 74 0 , 0
With a $9 million subsidy, regardless of whether Aircraft produces or not, AirEurope should<u> produce</u> if it wants to maximize its profit.
The statement is false (Aircraft would earn a negative payoff if it enters).
Answer:
$1,107,793.41
Explanation:
The value of the payment today can be ascertained using the present value of an annuity due formula since the first payment is immediate as shown thus:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r*(1+r)
monthly payment=$12,500
r=monthly interest rate=6.48%/12=0.0054
n=number of monthly payments in 10 year=10*12=120
PV=$12,500*(1-(1+0.0054)^-120/0.0054*(1+0.0054)
PV=$12,500*(1-(1.0054)^-120/0.0054*(1.0054)
PV=$12,500*(1-0.524003627
)/0.0054*1.0054
PV=$12,500*0.475996373
/0.0054*1.0054
PV=$1,107,793.41
Answer:
1. Firms are operating in the short run - relatively inelastic
2. Firms would have a hard time storing their goods - relatively inelastic
3. Firms have a large amount of excess capacity - relatively elastic
4. Firms can easily relocate from one location to another - relatively elastic.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply is less in the short run than in the long run. In the short run supplier does not have enough time to adjust the production level so supply is inelastic. The firms facing hard to store their goods then the supply is inelastic. If the firm has spare capacity available then the supply is relatively elastic because supplier can produce more if the demand is greater. The mobility factor also effects elasticity, if firm can easily relocate itself then the supply is elastic.
