Answer:
The individual will plan to spend or consume more of his wages than usual; since he believes there'll be a tax cut.
Explanation:
C = consumption
W = wages
Note: No graph is attached to the question so we can't make use of certain information in the question.
Suppose there is an announced change in tax policy - a tax cut/reduction - and a tax increase later; <em>what is the impact of this policy on consumption if the consumer believes that the policy will be implemented?</em>
<em />
Reasoning as an economist, the first reaction of a rational consumer is to begin to consume more since he believes the tax reduction policy will be implemented.
NOTE that sometimes the government or financial ministry in a country intentionally announce policies just so citizens can begin adjusting their consumption and investment patterns in line with them. They do not necessarily follow up with implementation of the policies.
So for a consumer who believes that there'll be a tax cut, he'll be excited and will either consume more of his present wage or consume all and borrow or dissave.
Answer: 2.75 blankets.
Explanation:
The opportunity cost is the value of a good that is sacrificed by choosing some other alternative. So, there are certain costs associated with the consumption of some goods.
In our case,
Opportunity cost of producing 1 shirt = 
= 2.75 blankets
Opportunity cost of producing 1 shirt is 2.75 blankets which means that 2.75 blankets have to be foregone to produce 1 shirt.
Answer:
7,780 units
Explanation:
When using the weighted-average method in its process costing system we are only interested in the equivalent units of the output in that particular process. Outputs being Units completed and transferred and units in ending work in process.
Units in Ending Work in Progress calculation
Units in Ending Work in Progress = 1,300 units + 8,300 units - 6,800 units
= 2,800 units
Conversion Costs
Units completed and transferred (6,800 x 100%) 6,800
Units in Ending Work in Progress (2,800 x 35 %) 980
Equivalent units of Production - Conversion Costs 7,780
Conclusion
the equivalent units for conversion costs for the month in the first processing department are 7,780 units
Answer:
Process Costing
Explanation:
Process Costing allows so many units to be in production at the same time which are identical. The cost of each unit can be determined by calculating the average price using to total units produced.
Answer:
d. at least two different markets with different price elasticities of demand
Explanation:
The theory of microeconomics about price differentiation is based on the concept of elasticity of demand. Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.
For price discrimination to take place, the offeror must be able to sell the same product at different prices to at least two different groups. This will depend on the price elasticity of consumer demand for the good in each of the markets. Thus, if one group is less elastic than the other, the offeror will be able to sell the goods at different prices.
An example: air market. Consumers are often more price sensitive when traveling for tourism than for business. Thus, a higher price may be charged to executives. which has lower price elasticity of demand than tourists.
