Anika [276]

Answer:

Continue operating; $699

Explanation:

The equilibrium price is $10.

MR = MC at 233 units of output.

At this output level, ATC is $12, and AVC is $9.

The AFC or average fixed cost

= ATC - AVC

= $12 - $9

= $3

The total fixed cost

= AFC\ \times Q

= \$ 3\ \times\ 233

= $699

The equilibrium price is able to cover the average variable cost so the firm should continue production in the short run.

enyata [817]

According to the <u>b. skills mismatch hypothesis</u>, many African Americans live in areas where there has been a reduction in work for low-skilled workers.

<h3>What is the skills mismatch hypothesis?</h3>

The skills mismatch hypothesis is an attempt to explain the reduction in work for low-skilled workers, especially African Americans.

The skills mismatch hypothesis argues that skill demands in urban labor markets increase over time.

Unfortunately, African Americans do not have the job skills and educational attainments, unlike other population groups, thereby causing a skills mismatch.

<h3>Answer Options:</h3>

a. residential segregation theory

b. skills mismatch hypothesis

c. deindustrialization perspective

d. "wage of whiteness" perspective

Thus, according to the <u>b. skills mismatch hypothesis</u>, many African Americans live in areas where there has been a reduction in work for low-skilled workers, and African-American men in particular often do not have the skills required to secure work in the current economy.
