Answer:

-$2.4

Explanation:

Costs of lottery ticket $10 per ticket.

100 tickets available to be sold

One $430 prize

two $105 prizes

four $30 prizes

100 available tickets -7 prizes= 93

P(430) = 1/100

P(105) = 2/100

P(30) = 4/100

P(-10) = 93/100

-10(93/100) + 30-10 (4/100) + 105-10 (2/100) + 430-10 (1/100)

= -10(93/100) + 20(4/100) + 95(2/100) + 420(1/100)

= -9.3 + 0.8 + 1.9 + 4.2 = -2.4

Therefore the expected loss will be $2.4

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

d) will become an importer of tomatoes.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.  

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Lisa is choosing between three alternatives: a) working at her job that pays 60 dollars; b) writing a term paper which she value
Mkey [24]

Answer:

c. 80 dollars.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost represents the next best alternative missed.  It is the forfeited benefits arising from choosing one option over the others. Opportunity cost is expressed as a value or the worth of the forgone alternative.

Lisa's opportunity cost is $ 80.  She has valued going out with her friend at $ 80, which is the highest value amongst her three choices. Since she can not engage in all the three activities at the same time, the next best alternative to writing her exam is the opportunity cost.

Describe the slope of the demand curve? How does the slope reflect the law of demand?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. The slope is negative</u>
  • <u>2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Describe the slope of the demand curve?</em>

<em>The slope of the demand curve</em> is negative.

The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).

Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.

Mathematically:

           slope=\dfrac{\text{change in demand}}{\text{change in price}}

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.

This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).

<em>How does the slope reflect the law of demand?</em>

The slope reflects perfectly <em>the law of demand</em> because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.
