Answer:
PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line
Explanation:
PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.
Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.
∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained
If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line
Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]
0 20 _
10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)
20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)
So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.
However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.
Answer:
The SRAS curve will shift to the right.
Explanation:
A decline in nominal wages will reduce the cost of hiring labor. The overall cost of production will reduce as well. The firms will be able to increase production and investment.
This increase in production and investment will increase the aggregate supply. As a result, the short-run aggregate supply curve will move to the right. This will cause the equilibrium price to fall and the equilibrium quantity to increase.
Answer: II. stabilization of new issues
III. registration of exchanges
IV. registration of broker-dealers
Explanation:
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was put in place in order to be in charge of security trading.
From the options, those that are covered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 include the stabilization of new issues, the registration of exchanges and the registration of broker/dealers.
It should be noted that the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 does not cover the registration of new issues.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Miles Driven Total Cost Miles Driven Total Cost
January: 8,000 $14,120
March: 8,550 $14,979
February: 7,490 $13,495
April: 8,195 $14,490
To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (14,979 - 13,495) / (8,550 - 7,490)
Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit
