Answer:

If sales fall by 20% AFC raises 38 cents per paper, i.e. a 25% increase in AFC.

Explanation:

To find the average fixed cost (AFC), we have to sum all fixed costs and divide it by the amount of units produced. Fixed costs are those that don't depend on how much is produced, in this case, rental and labor cost don't depend on output, as you can neither move to a cheaper place nor decrease labor obligations even if the factory had no output (newspapers printed).

AFC=\frac{\mbox{Fixed costs}}{\mbox{Printed papers}} \\\\AFC_{\mbox{original sales}} =\frac{\$1500000}{1000000 papers}=1.5\frac{\$}{paper} \\\\AFC_{\mbox{original sales}} =\frac{\$1500000}{800000 papers}=1.875 \frac{\$}{paper}

\mbox{Porcentual difference}=\frac{\mbox{difference between AFC}}{\mbox{original AFC}} \\\\\mbox{Porcentual difference}=\frac{1.875-1.50}{1.50}*100=\frac{0.375}{1.5} *100=25\%

We can see that as the output reduced, AFC rose 38 cents per paper or a 25% increase in AFC.

Suppose that in the market for loanable funds, the governement is currently running a deficit, and net exports are negative. The
balu736 [363]

Answer:  4. Demand will shift inwards, lower rates and decreasing lending.

Explanation:

People demand loanable funds for spending on consumption and investment. If there is a recession, people will buy less goods and companies will invest less as well.

This will reduce the demand that people and companies have for loanable funds. The demand will therefore shift inwards to the left and lead to lower rates and decreased lending.
