Answer:

  • <em>The slope of the demand curve at point A is   </em><u><em> </em></u><u>- $0.40/unit</u>

  • <em>The slope of the demand curve at point B is     </em><u>- $0.14/unit</u>

Explanation:

See the file attached with the figure corresponding to this question.

<em>The slope of a curve</em> at a given point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.

<em><u>Point A:</u></em>

The tangent line to the <em>demand curve at point A is</em> drawn and passes through the points (20, 34) and (45, 24).Then, the slope is:

  • slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (34 - 24) / (20 - 45) units

  • slope = - $10 /25units = - $2/5units = - $0.40/unit.

The minus sign indicates the that price decreases when the quantity increases

<u><em>Point B:</em></u>

<em>The tangent line to the demand curve at point B</em> passes through the points (90, 12) and (140, 5).Then, the slope is:

  • slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (12 - 5) / (90 - 140) units

  • slope = - $7 /50units = - $7/50units = - $0.14/unit.

Again, the negative sign indicates that when the number of units increase the price decreases.

Suppliers will supply more of a good when the price of that good rises because the opportunity cost of producing that good has r
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

Opportunity cost of producing a good for the supplier are the profits that they could make from other goods that they are not producing, for example if a supplier is producing cars the opportunity cost are the profits that the supplier can make by producing other products instead of cars. This statement is wrong because when the price of a good increases the opportunity cost of producing the good does not change because the opportunity cost of producing the good depends on the price and profits of other goods. In this case when the price increases the suppliers will supply more of this good because the opportunity cost of not producing the good increases because they can make higher profits now.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

D. expansion

Explanation:

A business cycle is made up of six stages including: expansion, peak, recession, depression, trough, and recovery.

The trough is the lowest stage of the business cycle.

It is followed by recovery where the economy starts to turn around.

However the stage of economic growth after a trough is the expansion stage, where real gross domestic product (GDP) grows for more than 2 quarters.

This stage is characterised by rise in consumer confidence, employment, and the equity market.
