Answer:

Monopolist can charge a higher price from women.

Explanation:

A monopolist is producing 100,000 units of a product.  

The price of the product is $5 per unit.  

The price elasticity of demand for men at this price is -3.5.

The price elasticity for women, on the other hand, is -0.8.

This means that the men have a relatively elastic demand for the product. While on the other hand, women have relatively inelastic demand. This implies that if the price is increased the demand from women will not change by a greater proportion.  

While demand from men can change to a greater proportion because of a change in price.  

In this situation, the firm can charge a higher price from women. This is an example of third-degree price discrimination.

Answer: Matched pairs design

Explanation:

A matched pairs design is a type of study used when 2 treaments are present in an experiment. The individuals in the design can be divided into pairs using a blocking variable, and each pair can then be allocated to treatments at random. This is thus a special type of randomized block design.

In this case the blocking variable can be the various urban areas as 1968 is matched against 1972. Each city can be compared based on 2 measurements. From their each individual can be grouped into pairs and allocated to different treatments.

Expectations of inflation are always greater than actual inflation along the long-run Phillips Curve.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The statement is “True” because the Philip curve is the curve that exhibits the relationship between the inflation or price level and unemployment. If inflation rises, then unemployment falls. If inflation falls, then unemployment rises. This happens because there is a negative relationship between inflation and unemployment. However in the long run the Philip curve is a verticle line parallel to the inflation axis and that shows there is no trade-off. Thus the option A is correct.

kherson [118]

(B) When revenue equals opportunity and variable cost, then the producer surplus most likely drops to zero for a firm.

<h3>What is revenue?</h3>
  • The total income derived from the sale of products or services pertaining to a business's core operations is referred to as revenue.
  • Because it appears at the top of the income statement, revenue, which is also known as gross sales, is frequently referred to as the "top line."
  • A company's overall earnings or profit are referred to as income or net income.
  • Although both revenue and profit are positive indicators for your company, they are not the same thing.
  • The producer surplus for a firm will probably reach zero when revenue equals opportunity costs and variable costs.

Therefore, (B) when revenue equals opportunity and variable cost, then the producer surplus most likely drops to zero for a firm.
