Answer:
It is true that raising gasoline prices (either by producing less of it, or by adding taxes) would reduce gasoline use. The concept of price elasticity of demand can helps us explain why.
Explanation:
A good can be either elastic or inelastic depending on its price elasticity of demand. A price elasticity of demand of less than 1 is considered inelastic, while a price elasticity of demand higher than 1 is considered elastic.
Elastic goods are those whose quantity demanded falls or rises more than the price. Inelastic goods are those whose quantity demanded falls or rises less than the price.
Gasoline is a inelastic good in the short-term because even with a price hike, most people will still buy gasoline because they need to move around. However, in the long-term, gasoline becomes more elastic because people replace their buy electric cars, or cars that use less fuel, etc.
What this tells us is that raising gasoline prices can reduce gasoline use in the long-term.
A built-in injustice in this measure is that it affects the poor disproportionally. Poor people also need cars to get around, and a rise in the gasoline price means that they have less money for other basic needs.

Answer:
Correct options
A.) the $4 in direct costs she would spend to drive to and from her babysitting job:
Emily will have to spend $2 to and $2 on gas for the babysitting job. She will have to consider if she can bear the additional cost compared to the other job opportunity.
B.) the opportunity costs of not working at the store on a Saturday when she babysits:
When Emily is babysitting she has to consider the opportunity cost of working at the retail store. The fact the she will not have to drive to work, instead working at a place close to her home.
Incorrect option
C.) the cost of clothes and personal items (e.g., phone) Emily uses during babysitting:
On both jobs Emily will incur cost of clothing and other personal items, so this is not a cost she should be considering in making a decision between the two jobs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
The money equation given by Irving fisher is popularly known as fisher's equation.
The equation is given as MV=PT
Here, M represents money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level and T refers to the volume of transactions or output level.
The supply of money refers to the quantity of money in existence while the velocity of transactions shows the number of times, money changes hands. Together they show the volume of money in circulation.
P is the average price level and T represents the expenditures on all transactions or, in other words, output level.
Here, V and T are assumed to be constant. This means that the money supply directly affects the price level.
There is no explicit mention of the interest rate in this equation.
So, option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
1. $46,550
2. $405,000
3. $450,600
Explanation:
1. Computation of differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200
Differential cost = Cost of a new model 300 - Cost of a new model 200
Differential cost = $396,350 - $349,800
Differential cost = $46,550
So, the differential cost regarding decision to buy model 200 is $46,550.
2. Sunk costs are the costs which are already incurred by the entity in the past and which are not relevant to decision made today. In this case, sunk cost is the cost of the machine purchased seven years ago for $405,000.
3. Opportunity cost is the profit forgone by chosen alternative course of action. In this case, the Opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine is $450,600.
