Answer:
not change
Explanation:
BEP (Units) = Fixed cost / (Unit selling price - Unit variable cost)
BEP (Units) Before the change is : 967750/ (30-17.75) = 79000 units
BEP (Units) after the change is: 1145500/(30-15.5) = 79000 units
--> BEP (Units) does not change
Answer:
2. People face trade-offs.
Explanation:
People face trade-off after cost and benefit analysis. for example, spending more time studying economics involve a benefit (a benefit is to get high marks in the subject). and cost is you could have spent that time doing something else, such as working in a restaurant to earn money. That is, your decision involves a trade-offs.
Answer:
c. fiscal and monetary policies that impact aggregate demand do not impact the natural rate of unemployment.
Explanation:
Short run Philips Curve is downward sloping, due to inverse relationship between unemployment rate & inflation rate. High economic activity implies more inflation rate, less unemployment. Low economic activity implies less inflation rate, more unemployment.
However, the inverse relationship between inflation & unemployment is only in short run & not in long run. In long run, this inflation - unemployment trade off doesn't exist. So, any fiscal or monetary policy affecting aggregate demand & consecutively inflation rate, do not affect the natural rate of unemployment (combination of frictional & structural unemployment rate) in long run.
Answer: The supply of beef would increase, decreasing beef prices.
Explanation: if there is a decrease in the price of the feed grains used to feed cattle, it would leads to an increase in the supply of beef in the market and consequently decrease the price of beef in the market. It would result to an increase in the supply of beef because the cattle rearers would have enough feeds for the cattle which will make them grow faster.
Answer:
The new Quantity to be sold at $1 is 200 in the short run
Explanation:
The question is to determine the Popsicle sold each day in the short run for a price rise of $1
The formula to use for the Price elasticity of supply in short run
(New Quantity demanded - Old Quantity demanded )/ Old Quantity + New Quantity/ 2
÷
(New Price - Old Price) / (Old Price + New Price)/ 2
The formula can also be simply written as
[(Q2 – Q1)/{(Q1 + Q2)/2}] / [(P2 – P1)/{(P1 + P2)/2}]
Step 2: Solve using the formula
Old Quantity = 100
New Quantity = Q2
Old Price = 0.50
New Price = $1
Solve:
[(Q2 – 100)/{(100+ Q2)/2}] / [(1 – 0.50)/{(0.50 + 1)/2}] = 1
=100 + Q2= 3Q2-300
= 2Q2= 400
Q2= 400/2
Q2= 200
The new Quantity to be sold at $1 is 200
