Answer:

  1. False
  2. True

Explanation:

1. Social security benefits are increased each year in proportion to an increase in CPI which measures inflation. This CPI is based on a market basket that most people use. If the social security benefits that the elderly get rises as the price of the basket rises then Social Security would not provide a decrease in their standard of living but would rather leave it unchanged so this answer is <u>FALSE.</u>

2. If Healthcare is said to be rising faster than inflation and elderly people consume more health care then that means that Social security benefits which are based on a inflation are not capturing the rise in living expenses for the elderly appropriately. This means that old people might be worse off. This is therefore <u>TRUE. </u>

sergiy2304 [10]
<h2>In the short run, these workers are <u>variable</u> inputs, and the ovens are <u>Fixed</u> inputs.</h2>

Explanation:

By analyzing the information, we can understand that, Megan can grow slowly and steadily because the constraint here is that, Megan has so many people to work but they are students and he cannot buy more than 2 oven's at present considering his financial background and the size of the kitchen.

So the wise work is that, he keeps changing the number of workers every time but the number of oven to be used every time is only 2.

So workers are variable (changing) and ovens are fixed.
