Answer:

  1. Domestic sugar producers and their workers GAIN because they can sell their products at higher prices and therefore make higher profits.
  2. Consumers LOSE because they will pay a higher price for sugar and other products that use sugar as a key input, e.g. candy
  3. Industries that use sugar and their workers LOSE because they need to pay higher prices for a key input like sugar.
  4. The U.S. economy LOSE because it reduces jobs in other industries that use sugar as a key input, e.g. candy industry, bakeries, pharmaceuticals, beer brewers, etc. (a lot of industries use sugar in their manufacturing processes). When jobs are reduced, the whole economy suffers since consumption falls and social costs increase.

A dressmaker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labor. Another dressmaker can sew 400 garments wit
faust18 [17]

Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker

In the following case, either a recessionary or inflationary gap exists. Assume that the aggregate supply curve is horizontal, s
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

This is a recessionary gap of $60 billion.

Simple multiplier = 1/ (1-.75) = 1/.25 = 4

The government would then have to increase its spending on goods and merchandise by total gap divided my simple multiplier.

$60 billion/ 4 = $15 billionTransfer multiplier - Each dollar of a Transfer payment will increase real GDP by Transfer Payment Multiplier

= MPC / (1-MPC) = 0.75 / (1-0.75) = 0.75/0.25 = $3

The government must increase spending on transfer payments by total gap divided by transfer payment multiplier = $60 billion / $3 = $20 billion

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

$38,675

Explanation:

sales price per pillow $97.50

total production 2,000 units

total sales 1,750 units

costs:

variable costs $22.10 per unit

fixed manufacturing $13.00 per unit

fixed administrative expenses $19.50 per unit

variable costing assigns only variable costs to inventory and COGS, so the COGS using variable costing = 1,750 units x $22.10 = $38,675

under variable costing, all fixed costs are period costs (fixed manufacturing and fixed administrative).
