Answer:

c. producers

Explanation:

Since it is given in the question that the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic but the price elastic of supply is relatively inelastic but if the excise tax is imposed on the goods so the greater burden of the tax would be on the producers as the supply is inelastic so the producers could not changed much but if we compare to the consumers, the consumer could change the demand more than before due to the elastic in demand.

So, the correct option is c.

11,200 - 3,900 = 7,300 started units

The ending WIP and the trasnferred-out represent the units to be assigned for

The daily profit p in dollars of a company making tables is described by the function upper p left parenthesis x right parenthes
Assoli18 [71]

The following equation of parabola is given:

p(x)= - 5 x^2 + 240 x - 2475

where p(x) = y

This is a standard form of the parabola. We need to convert this into vertex form of equation. The equation must be in the form:

y – k = a (x – h)^2

Where h and k are the vertex of the parabola. Therefore,

y = - 5 x^2 + 240 x - 2475

y = -5 (x^2 – 48 x + 495)

Completing the square:

y = -5 (x^2 - 48 x + 495 + _) - (-5)* _

Where the value in the blank _ is = -b/2

Since b = -48        therefore,

y = -5 (x^2 – 48 x + 495 + 81) + 405

y – 405 = -5 (x^2 – 48 x + 576)

y – 405 = -5 (x – 24)^2

Therefore the vertex is at points (24, 405).

The company should make 24 tables per day to attain maximum profit.

All of the following are assumptions of the perfectly competitive model except: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard naviga
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

Perfectly competitive market consists of a large number of firms, and each firm is small relative to the entire market. This makes firms unable to set the prices for their goods.

It is the monopoly and oligopoly market structure that is characterised by high entry and exit into the market

A rent ceiling set below the equilibrium rent
Anna [14]

A rent ceiling set below the equilibrium rent creates a situation in which the quantity demanded of housing is greater than quantity supplied.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rent limit is the highest price a property owner can demand for rent. Rent ceilings are typically fixed by legislation and limit how high the rent can be in a given area. Although, the amount of affordable housing is also reduced as a consequence of this rule, as tenants are not interested in renting out their properties at a cheap price.

Nevertheless, if the limit is placed underneath the level of equilibrium then a reduction of deadweight is produced. Many issues come in the form of illegal markets, scanning time and charges that aren't leased precisely like key money i.e. high initial cost for new keys.

Why has America been referred to as " the land of opportunity"?
kozerog [31]

Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.

  1. They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
  2. They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
  3. They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
  4. They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
  5. They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
  6. They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.
