Charlie the cat stole $20 from his cat mom. He's planning on spending the money he stole on catnip (Q1) and dental treats (Q2).

Dental treats are more expensive at $3 per treat, but catnip is pretty cheap at $0.50 per pouch. What will Charlie's budget constraint look like?

Answer:

$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)

Explanation:

Total Amount = $ 20

Dental treats Q2= $ 3

Catnip Q1= $ 0.50

Maximum no of Dental Treats he can get is = $ 20 /$3= 6.66

If he gets maximum dental treats i.e 6 , $18 will be spent (3*6)

He will be left with = $ 20- $ 18= $ 2

The maximum no of catnip he can get after buying 6 dental treats from $ 2= $ 2/$0.5= 4

Let Q1 denote the catnip and Q3 denote the dental treats then the equation would be like

$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)

So putting the values for q1=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

for values 0-4  Q3 will be $ 18

for values 4-6 Q3 will be $ 15

for values 6-8  Q3 will be $ 12

From values Zero on wards the budget constraint will be a slope but after value 4 the change will be after every two points.

The slope will look like the one given in the diagram.

You have saved​ $120,000 for your child to attend college. If it is in an account earning an annual rate of​ 8%, how much can yo
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

I will take $36,230.5 to pay for the education of child.

Explanation:

Cash Invested in the saving account will earn a return of 8% each year and this amount could be withdrawn by the me to pay for the education of child.

We will use following formula to calculate the annual payments

P = r ( PV ) /  [ 1 - ( 1+ r )^-n ]

where

PV = amount of investment = $120,000

r = rate of return = 8%

n = number of period = 4 years

P = 8% ( 120,000 ) / [ 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-4 ]

P = 36,230.5

If Kindle e-readers and Nook e-readers are substitutes, a higher price for Nooks would result in a(n) ______.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: a) increase in the demand for Kindles.

Explanation: the substitution effect for substitute goods gives that, if the price of good A rises, the demand for good B rises. Since a substitute good is a good that can be used in place of another, they are goods that a consumer perceives as similar or are comparable, in such a way that having more of one good causes the consumer to desire less of the other good. From the viewpoint of price, and given that consumers always prefer to spend less in instances where two goods are substitutes, it then means that Kindle can be used and preferred in place of Nooks given that the price of Nooks had gone up. Therefore, increasing the price of Nooks causes a corresponding increase in the demand for Kindles.

Firms making a loss will compare the losses if it shuts down to the losses if it operates in the short run. What quantity will t
Ahat [919]

The quantity that would be produced by a firm that shuts down in the short run is zero units.

<h3>When would a firm shut down in the short run?</h3>

The short run is a period when at least one or more factors of production are fixed and the others are variable. In the short run, if the average variable cost is greater than the price, the firm should cease production. This means that zero units of output would be produced.

Suppose that when the price of a certain commodity is p dollars per unit, then x hundred units will be purchased by consumers, w
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Profit = TR- TC&#10;= x (P) - C(x)&#10;= x(-0.05x+38) - (0.02x^{2} + 3x + 574.77)&#10;= -0.05x^{2} + 38x - 0.02x^{2} - 3x - 574.77&#10;= -0.07x^{2} + 35x -574.77

This profit equation is an equation of a parabola that opens downward (Since A=-0.07<0) and has its vertex at

x= -\frac{B}{2A}  = -\frac{35}{2 (-0.07)}  = 250

Thus, revenue is maximized when x=250 hundred units. At this quantity maximum profit is

P(250)=3800.23 hundred dollars

b. Profits are maximised at x=250 hundred units. The per unit price at this is,

p= -0.05x + 38&#10;= -0.05 (250) + 38&#10;= $25.5

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The dealer will sell 15 Volvos

Explanation:

Consider the following formulas to calculate the Q of which optimize the exercise.

Profit = Q*p

Profit = (30-q)*q

Profit = 30q - q^2

Differentiating with respect to q, we get

30-2q = 0

2q = 30

q=15

The dealer will sell 15 Volvos
