Answer:
The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.
Explanation:
The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
When Congress enacted the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, they stated the FED's mandates:
- promote maximum employment
- promote stable price
The FED's main objective is to conduct monetary policy in order to stabilize the economy and promote economic growth.
By stabilizing the economy the FED will lower inflation rate, therefore stabilizing prices. When the FED promotes economic growth, the unemployment rate should decrease, hopefully reaching a full employment.
Answer and Explanation:
I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:
The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.
The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.
The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.
The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.
Hence the answer is D.
Answer:
Incomplete question
First aspect of the question is typed below.
The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 20-minute oil-change facility
is unknown. However, records indicate that the mean time is 2l.2-minutes, and the standard deviation 3.5 minutes.
Explanation:
Employees bonus $50
35 oil changes between 10:00 am to 12:00pm
n = 35
10% changes
So, the z - score can be calculated using
z-score = InvNorm(0.10)
z-score = -1.28
So, given that,
Standard deviation is 3.5minutes
σ = 3.5 minutes
Mean time is 21.2 minutes
μx = 21.2 minutes
Then,
σx = σ / √n
σx = 3.5 / √35
σx = 0.5916 minutes
Then, Z score can be written as
Z = (x - μx) / σx
-1.28 = (x - 21.2) / 0.5916
Cross multiply
-1.28 × 0.5916 = x - 21.2
-0.7573 = x - 21.2
x = 21.2 - 0.7573
x = 20.443 minutes
There is a 10% chance of being at or below a mean oil-change time of 20.44 minutes
