Answer:
C) defensive
Explanation:
Defensive stocks are stocks that generally perform well during economic recessions. In other words, their price is not related to the market tendency. Even if the market goes down, their price remains stable. Generally companies that sell products with a constant demand are considered defensive stocks, e.g. Costco, Target, Walmart, utilities (all, electric, gas, water), etc.
Answer:
The company should provide, in average, 90 jobs per month in order to break even.
Explanation:
We will assume that the variable costs are proportional to the quantity and thus VC=a*Q
the profit obtained is
profit = P*Q , (Price [$/job] * Jobs sold [jobs])
and the total costs are
total costs= FC+VC = FC + a*Q , FC=fixed costs
in order to break even the quantity sold should be enough to cover all costs, therefore
profit = total costs
P*Q = FC + a*Q → Q= FC/(P-a)
thus
Q= FC/(P-a) = $3240 / ($60/job - $24/job) = 90 jobs

- All points inside the PPC curve signify that all the resources are not being effectively used
- All points on the PPC curve signify that production equals efficient allocation of resources
