Answer:
Currently the price of homes has exceeded the 2006 peak, just before the housing bubble burst. The price index has increased more than 40% since 2012.
It has been many years now of a strong economy, with an economic expansion lasting for 11 years (since June 2009), which is actually record breaking. A lot of economists were expecting a recession soon, with the current health crisis not helping, and the recession finally arrived on June 2020.
The combination of historically high prices for homes and an economic recession can be very hurtful. The advantage of the current situation is that the level of delinquent or subprime mortgages is currently much lower than 14 years ago. Actually, the amount of debt per household has decreased since 2006, and is quite stable right now at moderate or low levels. Many households spent much of the past years paying off debt, so they didn't have time to take new debt.
If the recession gets worse, a price correction will be inevitable, but it wouldn't be as large as the 2007 decrease. Only in a few cities in California, Washington, Nevada and Oregon can you find situations similar to 2006, where a strong supply hasn't been enough to balance the prices due to a stronger demand and high mortgage debt. But even there, the situation will not be as bad.
Answer:
$125,300
Explanation:
The computation of the total manufacturing cost is shown below:
Total manufacturing cost = Direct material cost + direct labor cost + Indirect materials + Factory manager salaries + Factory supplies + Indirect labor + Depreciation on factory equipment
= $40,500 + $39,600 + $15,200 + $7,200 + $9,000 + $6,300 + $7,500
= $125,300

A. True
The CPI is a measure of the cost of a "basket" of typical consumer goods, so if the cost of these goods goes down most families will spend less on average.
Answer: P =$50
Q= 25
Explanation: P= 100-2Q
P= 2Q
To get the quantity supplied Q, we have to educate both equations
100-2Q=2Q, 100=2Q+2Q
100=4Q, Q=100/4 , Q=25
To get the equilibrium price we have to substitute the value of Q which is 25 into any of the equation.
Using equation 1
P=100-2Q, P=100-2(25)
P=100-50, P=$50.
If the price is controlled at $60, then the production pays the producer this is because a commodity is not expected to be sold at the equilibrium price, price flooring is a way that government or a group control the market price of a commodity or produce by imposing a particular price on it. This is to ensure that the producers are not at loss with their production, a price floor is always higher than the equilibrium price to be effective as seen in the example given above, price floor is $60 while equilibrium price is $50.
An example of a price floor for services can be seen in the minimum wage stated by the government this is to ensure that people's services are not misused anyhow.
Price flooring most times can lead to surplus quantity produced if consumers are not willing to pay the price, because the producer will be wiling to produce more in order to make more profit.
