I wholeheartedly agree and think it’s practically self-evident.

Here’s an excellent example from history.

For 28 years, the Berlin Wall separated East Berlin from West Berlin and was the most heavily militarized border crossing in the Western hemisphere. In 1989, during a press conference with western media, Gunther Schabowski was handed a note explaining a change in policy governing border crossing. Several discussions took place about making a show of opening the border between East and West Germany, but nobody informed Schabowski.

At the end of the press conference, he appears to have remembered the note belatedly, and read it verbatim—which was not what was intended. When asked about when the border would open, he assumed it was immediate.

The reality of course was that East Germany had no intention of opening the border, and certainly not immediately.

Within hours, the border crossing was practically buried under thousands of East Germans eager to be reunited with their families and other loved ones after 28 years on the press conference, which had been broadcast live.

The East Germans believed what they were told: Schabowski said immediately, and they intended to go immediately.

Border guards kept calling for instructions, until finally, they relented.

Perception became reality, and the border between East and West Berlin opened, spelling the de facto end of the separation of Germany.

d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but, instead, that productivity increases by 25% percent. What would
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

decreased by 20%

Explanation:

Supposed we have input price of $30,000 and it produced an output of 300 units on the first year of operation. The cost per unit on the first year is $100 each ($30,000/300).

On the second year we still have the same input expense of $30,000 but the productivity output increased by 25%. So we have 375 units produced on the second year’s operation. The new cost per unit would be $30,000/375=$80 per unit.

Therefore we conclude that based on the example given, the new unit cost per product decreases by 20%.

$100-80 = $20

$20/$100 = 20%
