Answer: Price of pumpkins will fall compared to last year.
Explanation: Favorable weather leading to a larger crop than usual means that there is more supply of pumpkins this year than before. Shifting the supply curve down to the right. At the same time, when people switch away from jack-o'-lanterns towards buying more costumes, it leads to a decline in the demand for pumpkins shifting the demand curve to the left.
The net result will be a decline in the demand for fall in the price of pumpkin. However, the effect on the quantity cannot be determined as it depends on the magnitude of shift in the two curves.

A Tech = 2.75
Z Tech = 3
Explanation:
As defined in question itself,
Degree of Operating Leverage = 
As here, it is provided that profit for both the companies are same amounting $4 million.
Although the fixed cost differ by $1 million.
A Tech Degree of operating Leverage = 1 + 
= 2.75
Z Tech Degree of Operating Leverage = 1 +
