The budget constrain is how much of each good can Joe's buy and it's given by:
Income = P_f * Q_f +P_s * Q_s
P_f = Price_of_Food
Q_f = Quantity_of_Food
P_s = Price_of_Shelter
Q_s = Quantity_of_Shelter
In case a):
300 = 5*Q_f(a) + 100*Q_s
in case b):
300 = 10*Q_f(b) + 100*Q_s
To draw each line, you can make a graphic in which the x axis is Q_s and y axis is Q_f
set Q_f = 0 and solve for Q_s which gives => Q_s = 3 so, in the x axis the line will start in Q_s = 3
the same, and solve for Q_f and it'll give =>
Q_f(a) = 60
Q_f(b) = 30
So, from the start in x axis in Q_s = 3 you draw the line (a) to the y axis Q_f(a) = 60 and you draw the line (b) to the y axis Q_f(b) = 30
To get the oportunity cost you have to divide the cost of what is given up (food) by what is gained (shelter).
Oportunity_Cost_Food(a) = 5/100 = 0.05
Oportunity_Cost_Food(b) = 10/100 = 0.10
As you can see, the oportunity cost of food increase
Answer:
3.60
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales units = 1,000
Sales price per unit = $60
Variable expenses = 40% of the selling price
Total Fixed cost = $26,000
Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= $60 - ($60 × 40%)
= $60 - $24
= $36
Total contribution:
= Contribution margin per unit × Sales units
= $36 × 1,000
= $36,000
Profit = Total contribution - Fixed cost
= $36,000 - $26,000
= $10,000
Degree of operating leverage:
= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed Expenses)
= (60,000 - 24,000) ÷ (60,000 - 24,000 - 26,000)
= 36,000 ÷ 10,000
= 3.60
Answer:
A country can gain from immigration when immigration is controlled so that immigrants contribute to society. If the immigrants have needed skills and come in appropriate numbers this is good for the country. Also by getting people from all over, they will benefit by having a much richer culture.
Explanation:
Answer:
B. negative, positive
Explanation:
Substitution effect : Price rise of a good makes it relatively expensive, decreases its demand. Price fall of a good makes it relatively cheap, increases its demand.
So: Substitution Effect is always negative as per above explanation.
Income Effect : Price rise of a good decreases real income/ real purchasing power of consumer & reduces demand of all goods. Price fall increases real purchasing power & increases demand of all goods.
Income effect is positive in case of Normal Goods, normal good demand is positively related to income. The effect is negative in case of inferior goods, inferior good demand is negatively related to income.
Hence: Price rise of rice - Substitution effect results in negative change in rice consumption. {∵substitution effect always negative}
Income Effect leads to positive change in rice consumption {∵price rise reduces real income & income effect is negative for inferior goods}
