Answer:
1. What is the Commerce Clause?
The Commerce Clause refers to the power held by Congress to regulate interstate commerce. Individual states can regulate commerce that takes place within their territory, but they cannot regulate trade between entities from their state and entities from other states.
2. Will the Arizona regulation withstand Commerce Clause scrutiny? Why or why not?
This is an actual court case and the US Supreme Court ruled against Arizona's regulation because it interferes with interstate commerce. The cantaloupes that Bruce Church produced were supposed to be sold in California, that means that 2 states are involved. The Commerce Clause applies whenever trade between 2 states are involved. An individual state's regulations cannot result in a burden for businesses engaged in interstate commerce.
Answer:
SITE A
Explanation:
Given :
FACTOR___ WEIGHT _SITE A_ SITE B _SITE C
Labor Cost __ 0.25 _____92 ____82____ 84
Curr Stability _ 0.35 _____75 ___ 85____ 88
Prox Market __ 0.30 ____ 80 ____50 ___ 60
Taxes _______ 0.10 _____69 ___ 88 ___ 91
SITE A:
(0.25 * 92) + (0.35*75) + (0.30*80) + (0.10*69) = 80.15
SITE B :
(0.25 * 82) + (0.35*85) + (0.30*50) + (0.10*88) = 74.05
SITE C :
(0.25 * 84) + (0.35*88) + (0.30*60) + (0.10*91) = 78.90
Using the weighed factor model;
The based site for locating the facility is SITE A as it has the highest weighted value
Answer:
1. a decrease in the price of natural gas
Explanation:
Given that homeowners choose to heat their houses with either natural gas or heating oil. It means that natural gas and heating oil are substitute products.
If there will be an increase in the demand for natural gas, there will invariably be a decrease in demand for heating oil.
From the options given, a decrease in the price of natural gas will result in and increase in it's demand.
Answer:
YES - When marginal cost (MC) of production is increasing, the average variable cost (AVC) is increasing.
Explanation:
Marginal cost (MC) is the cost of producing an extra unit of output while Average variable cost (AVC) is the cost per unit of output produced.
When MC is below AVC, MC pulls the average down. This means that when MC is falling, AVC is falling
When MC is above AVC, MC is pushing the average up; therefore when MC is rising, AVC is rising.
The conclusion is that MC and AVC have a direct relationship and a rise in one will cause a rise in the other
, therefore when the marginal cost (MC) of production is increasing, the average variable cost (AVC) is increasing.
