Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The total cost of the firm is $600.

The fixed cost is $100.

The variable cost will be

=Total costs-fixed costs

=$(600-100)

=$500.

The average variable cost will be

=total variable costs/quantity of outputs

=$500/100

=$5 per unit

The price is $4.

So, we see the price is not covering the average variable cost. This means the firm is incurring losses. The firm will thus produce zero units of output.

Suppose that the market for athletic shoes is initially in equilibrium at point A. Further suppose the demand for athletic shoes
elixir [45]

Answer: Correct. When there is an increase in supply and an increase in demand, the new equilibrium quantity increases but whether the equilibrium price increases or decreases is unknown.

Explanation:

When the demand for the shoes increased, it had the effect of shifting the demand curve to the right. At the same time, with six more firms coming into the market, the supply increased as well which had the effect of shifting the supply curve right as well.

The new equilibrium as a result of these movements will see the quantity increase. However, due to the shift of both the supply and the demand curve in the same direction, it is uncertain if the price will change or not.

The general rule is that if the rise in supply is more than rise in demand then the price will decrease. If they rise by the same amount then price will remain the same. It shows therefore that if both supply and demand rise at the same time, the effect on equilibrium price is unknown.

Use the expenditure multiplier to calculate the change in AD that would result from a $100 million increase in government spendi
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If MPC is 0.8, Change in GDP    =  $500 million

If MPC is 0.95, Change in GDP =  $2,000 million

Explanation:

<em>Expenditure Multiplier is the amount by which the real GDP will change if autonomous expenditure changes by a given amount.</em>

It is calculated as follows: 1/(1-MPC).

MPC is the portion of additional income that is spent. If the MPC is 0.8, then the expenditure multiplier will be = 1/(1-0.8) = 5

Using the first scenario with an increase in government spending by $100million, the resulting change in GDP would be

Change in GDP =  change in autonomous expenditure × Multiplier

                          = 100 ×  5 = $500 million

<em>Scenario 2, MPC of 0.95</em>

Expenditure Multiplier = 1/(1-0.95) = 20

Change in GDP= 100 × 20 = $2000 million

The break-even point is the sales level at which a company_______________.a. incurs a loss. b. contribution margin equals fixed
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

b. contribution margin equals fixed costs

e. has a profit of $0.

Explanation:

The break even point is the point in which the firm has no profit and no loss situation. When it meets we called as break even point.

So, the break even point is the point at which the profit is zero plus the contribution margin equals to the fixed cost i.e means

Contribution margin = Fixed cost

Sales - variable cost = Fixed cost

If both are equal so it seems the profit is zero
