Answer:

a) -4

b) -12 billion

Explanation:

Question 1) Calculate the Tax Multiplier

FIrst, we know that the Marginal Propensity to Consume = 0.8

Based on this, the formula is as follows:

Multipier = -Marginal Propensity to Consume/ (1-Marginal Propensity to Consume)

Multiplier = -0.8/ (1-0.8) = -0.8/ 0.2 = -4

The Tax  Multiplier = -4

Question 2) The resulting change in the equilibrium quantity of real GDP demanded

Change in Demand = Change in Tax x The Tax Multiplier

Change in Demand = $3 billion x -4

= -12

This means that the equilibrium quantity of the real GDP is -12 billion

Four hundred and eighty minutes of production time are available per day. The schedule calls for the production of 80 units per
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em>The theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

Explanation:

Given the total time available per day = 480 minutes

the cycle time which is the time required or spent to produce a unit can be obtained as;

Cycle time = Total time / Demand per day

Cycle time = 480 / 80 = 6 minutes

hence 6 minutes is the cycle time  for one unit.

The theoretical number of stations can be calculated thus;

Theoretical number of stations = Time for one unit / Cycle time

= 30/6 = 5 workstations

<em>Therefore the theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

Assume the demand curve is more elastic than the supply curve for the product: chewing tobacco. If the government wants to tax c
Over [174]

Answer:

The producers will bear more of the tax than the consumer because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

Explanation:

The options to this question wasn't provided. Here are the options:

The consumers will bear more of the tax than the producer because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

The producers will bear the entirety of the tax because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

The producers will bear more of the tax than the consumer because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

The consumers will bear the entirety of the tax because producers set the price.

The producers will bear the entirety of the tax because the government imposed the tax directly on them.

Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

Supply is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity supplied.

The more elastic demand or supply is the more sensitive quantity demanded or supplied to changes in price.

The burden of tax refers to who pays the tax.

If demand is more elastic that supply it means that demand is more price sensitive to changes in price that supply.

This means that if a tax is imposed which increases the price of the good, quantity demand would change more than quantity supplied.

Therefore, the burden of tax is borne by the party with the less elasticity.
