Answer:

D. Tim consumes more hamburgers and fewer hot dogs.

Explanation:

For his utility to remain constant, Tim will neither consume more goods in total, nor spend more money than before.

Therefore, because the price of hot dogs has risen, while the price of hamburger has remained the same, he will now buy more hamburgers and less hot dogs, because eating more hamburgers and less hot dogs will not decrease his satisfaction, it will remain the same. We can also conclude from that both fast food products are perfect substitutes for Tim.

Additionally, contact the Internal Revenue Services(IRS) and explain your situation; they most likely have other payment plans that would work for you. Ignoring the tax bill and hoping that IRS will overlook it can lead to penalty; this might be very costly.

You have a small business that makes $50,000 accounting and economic profit for you. As a disabled person, you must work at home
kifflom [539]

Answer: This means: "d. Your economic profit has gone down and your accounting profit has stayed the same."

Explanation: The difference between the accounting and economic benefit is associated with the type of cost that each includes:

The accounting benefit is nothing more than the difference between income and cost.  In this case it is still $50000.

The economic benefit includes not only explicit costs. The economic benefit is the difference between income and total costs (explicit and implicit). Therefore, this benefit is less than the accounting benefit. Because in this case the cost of working at home is considered.

A nation's production possibilities curve is bowed out from the origin because: A. resources are not equally efficient in produc
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A production possibility curve shows the different bundles of maximum possible two goods that can be produced using the given resources. The production possibility curve is concave to the origin.  

This shape of the curve is because of opportunity cost. We know that to increase the production of one commodity we need to sacrifice production of its alternative.  

The resources can not be perfectly substituted and the opportunity cost goes on increasing with the increase in output, that's why the production possibility curve is bowed out or concave to the origin.
