Answer:

total output.

Explanation:

for example, a company manufactures 10,000 units of A. Its total variable costs are $50,000, and its total fixed costs are $25,000.

The average variable cost = $50,000 / 10,000 = $5 per unit of A

The average fixed cost = $25,000 / 10,000 = $2.50 per unit of A

The average total cost = $75,000 / 10,000 = $7.50 per unit of A

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever
Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5).  However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5  to $2.  This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone.   This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit.  Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

deff fn [24]

Full Question

The united states department of agriculture (usda) found that the proportion of young adults ages 20–39 who regularly skip eating breakfast is 0.238. suppose that lance, a nutritionist, surveys the dietary habits of a random sample of size n=500 of young adults ages 20–39 in the united states.

Apply the central limit theorem for the binomial distribution to find the probability that the number of individuals, ?, in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is greater than 122. You may find table of critical values helpful.

Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.

Answer:

The probability using the Normal Approximation that out of lance’s sample more than 122 people is 0.356

Explanation:

Given

n = Sample Size = 500

p = Probability = 0.238

Using the normal approximation to binomial distribution,

Let X = Event such that a person skips breakfast

If X ~ Binomial (n,p)

Using normal approximation

X ~ Normal (np,npq)

Where n = 500 and p = 0.238

So, X ~ Binomial (n,p) becomes

X ~ Binomial (500 , 0.238)

Using Normal Approximatiom

X ~ (119, 90.678)

The critical table is then constructed as follows;

Binomial --------- Normal

P(X = a) --------- P(a - 0.5 < X < a + 0.5)

P(X ≥ a) --------- P(X > a - 0.5)

P(X > a) --------- P(X > a + 0.5)

P(X ≤ a) --------- P(X < a + 0.5)

P(X < a) --------- P(X < a - 0.5)

Calculating the probability using the Normal Approximation that out of lance’s sample more than 122 people skips

This can be written as P(X > 122)

Looking at the critical table above.

P(X>a) ----- P(X>a + 0.5)

So,

P(X > 122) ---- P(X > 122 + 0.5)

P(X > 122) ---- P(X > 122.5)

Calculating Z score using

z = (x - u)/√σ²

X = 122.5

From X ~ (119, 90.678)

u =mean = 119

σ = standard deviation = √90.678

So,

Z = (122.5 - 119)/√90.678

z = 0.367550550865750

Z = 0.37 ---- Approximated

P(X > 122.5) = P(Z > 0.37)

P(X > 122.5) = 1 - P(Z<0.37) --- using z table

P(X > 122.5) = 1 - 0.6443

P(X > 122.5) = 0.3557

P(X > 122.5) = 0.356 -- Approximated

Econo Nation started 2013 with no national budget debt or surplus. By the end of 2013, it had a budget surplus of $286 million;
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

-$13 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Budget surplus by the end of 2013 = $286 million

Budget deficit in 2014 = $425 million

Budget surplus in 2015 = $100 million

Budget deficit or surplus in 2016 is unknown.

National debt at the end of 2016 = $52 million

National Budget surplus/ deficit at the end of year 2015:

= Budget balance of 2013 + Budget balance of 2014 + Budget balance of 2015

= $286 million + (-$425 million) + $100 million

= -$39 million

So the government will fund this deficit by taking debt of $39 million.

National debt at the end of 2016 = Total debt till 2015 + Surplus/deficit for year 2016

-$52 million = (-$39 million) + Surplus/deficit for year 2016

- $52 million + $39 million = Surplus/deficit for year 2016

-$13 million = Surplus/deficit for year 2016

This is budget deficit of $13 million because debt increased by 13 million in 2016.
