Answer:

b. The slope of the budget constraint is the same for each woman.

Explanation:

Budget Line is the combination of two goods that a consumer can buy, given prices & money income (all spent).

Equation : p1x1 + p2x2 = m ;

where p1 & p2 are price of good 1 & 2 , x1 & x2 are quantities of good 1 & good 2 , m = money income  

  • Abby's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 80
  • Bobbi's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 60
  • Deborah's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 40 [ I = Icecream, N = Novel ]  

Slope of Budget Line represents change (sacrifise) of a good needed to get change (gain) of other good, given same prices & income.

Slope = ΔY/ΔX = Px / Py

Since prices are same for each woman, price ratios & hence the slope of budget line will also be same for all of them.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever
Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5).  However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5  to $2.  This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone.   This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit.  Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

Bad White [126]

Answer: performance feedback

Explanation: Feedback on performance is a process of communication. It should be continuous as improvements are made on the basis of information exchanged between the manager and the subordinates. Regular follow-up dialogue should be in place to determine success.

Feedback is structured to see where things go right and where they go wrong. This suggests that leaders may need to be vigilant while they develop new behaviors and conquer the learning curves of new skills.
