Answer: Quantity of pens fall, Change in price ambiguous

Explanation:

The new educational study has proven that the practice of writing, erasing, and rewriting improves students' ability to process information, leading parents to steer away from pen use in favor of pencils. This will lead to a fall in the demand for pens, shifting its demand curve to the left.

Moreover, the price of plastic, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably. This will increase the cost of production of pens, inducing producers to reduce pen supply in the market. The supply curve shifts up to the left.

Both these shifts lead to a fall in the quantity of pen in the market. However, the effect on price cannot be determined as it depends on the magnitude of the two shifts.

Government's unfunded liabilities: a. result in more efficient policies in an attempt to satisfy these liabilities. b. result fr
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. result from the political bias toward immediate benefits and deferred costs.

Explanation:

While many people run hysterically on the streets begging politicians to act in the face of the threat of climate change, many people, young and old, may be demanding the same type of action, but to fix the unfunded passive systems.

By extending eligibility and increasing the benefits of a pay-per-use system while at the same time having fewer children to finance it, previous generations have left a fearsome financial obligation. Either taxes will increase dramatically for tomorrow's workers, lowering their standard of living, or benefits will fall for tomorrow's retirees, lowering their standard of living. A group will feel very angry.

These problems were anticipated even when politicians were raising payments, but each elected government simply kicked the can and allowed things to continue as usual.

 Social security systems and pension funds are actuarially not funded systems. There is no obligation for this generation to have children at the same rate as previous generations. Therefore, when those born in the 1950s reach retirement age in the next century, their stipends will feel more like a burden due to the ranks of non-active members of society that will depend on their contributions to live.

In east icicle, minnesota, on the northern edge of the corn belt, the growing season is short and the soil is poor. corn yields
user100 [1]

The answer is marginal costs in both places are the same. This is because the farmers in both places are profit-maximizers, the value in each flat is equal to MC or Marginal Cost and subsequently the market of corn is competitive, the price of corn in both places is the same. Also, marginal costs are higher in East Icicle than in Corncrib can also be a possible answer. For any given outflow per acre Corncrib’s corn yield are far better than in East Icicle, at any level of output, the marginal cost per acre in East Icicle must be higher in Corncrib, which suggests that in equilibrium the output level of corn in East Icicle is less than the output level of corn in Corncrib.
