Answer:

$1 or 100% of the tax

Explanation:

When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.

The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.

Suppose the economy is initially operating well below capacity. In this​ case, an expansionary macroeconomic policy will result
Damm [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

If an economy is working well below capacity this means there is huge amount of unused resources left. Resources or inputs at this point will be available at a relatively lower price. So the firms will be able to expand output at a cheaper rate.  

When the demand for inputs increase the input price will not increase much. So, the firms will be able to increase output and the price level will not increase by a great extent.

1. Select the correct statement regarding relevant costs and revenues.
Gala2k [10]

Complete Question:

1. Select the correct statement regarding relevant costs and revenues.

A. Sunk costs are not relevant for decision-making purposes.

B. Relevant costs are frequently called unavoidable costs.

C. Direct labor is an example of a unit-level cost.

D. Only variable costs are relevant for decision making.

Answer:

1. A

2. D

3. B

Explanation:

1. The correct statement regarding relevant costs and revenues is that sunk costs are not relevant for decision-making purposes. Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

2. Expected future revenues that differ among the alternatives under consideration are often referred to as differential revenues. It is the difference in revenues among two (2) alternatives, which would influence decision making.

3. The benefits sacrificed when one alternative is chosen over another are referred to as opportunity costs. It is also referred to as alternative forgone.

The additional benefit of producing one more roast beef sandwich at a local deli is $2. The additional cost of producing one mor
tigry1 [53]
First, we take into account the benefit and cost given in the problem. The benefit, which is $2 is a dollar lesser compared to the cost that would be incurred should the business opt to produce one more roast beef. This, of course, tells us that an additional roast beef will just impose an additional $1 cost. Thus, the answer should be the last choice.
