John is the <u>internal customer</u> of Bill.

An internal customer is someone within the business that relies on the assistance or work of <em>someone else in the business</em> to do their work. In this case John relies on the software that Bill creates.

Another example would be a marketer who relies on the graphic designer to create an ad before the marketer can use it in an ad campaign.

If the price of good X increases by 2%, and that causes the quantity demanded of good Y to decrease by 15%, then the cross elast

Zina [86]

Answer:

-7.5%

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of the quantity of a commodity, Y in this case, to the change in the price of another commodity, X in this case.

Cross elasticity of demand is measured as a percentage change in the quantity of commodity Y divided by the percentage in the price of commodity Y. This can be written mathematically as follows:

Ec = % Change in the quantity of commodity Y divided by the percentage in the prie of commodity X.

Where Ec denoted cross elasticity.

Applying the formula to this question, we have

Ec = -15%/2% = -7.5%

Note that under cross elasticity of demand:

1. Two goods are substitute if the value of their cross elasticity of demand is positive. That is, an increase in the price of good one, good X, will lead to an increase in the quantity demand of the second, good Y.

2. Two goods are complimentary if the value of their cross elasticity of demand is negative.That is, an increase in the price of good one, good X, will lead to an decrease in the quantity demand of the second, good Y.

Therefore in this question, goods X and Y are complimentary because the value of their cross elasticity of demand is -7.5% which is negative.

I wish you the best.

In Vintland, sanitation engineers are being replaced with garbage robots, which have fewer negative effects and many more signif

pychu [463]

Answer: GDP decreases and standard of living increases

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the short-run effects of this industrial change on Vintland's GDP and its standard of living is that there'll be a reduction in the gross domestic product and an increase in the standard of living.

The reduction in GDP will be as a result of the reduction in the price of collecting garbage. On the other hand, the replacement of the sanitation engineers with the garbage robots will have fewer negative effects and many more significant benefits, thereby increasing standard of living.

If the government sets a price floor of $5 per bushel, ____ bushels of corn are produced, of which ___ are purchased by consumer

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: If the government sets a price floor of $5 per bushel, Say 1000 bushels of corn are produced, of which 300 bushels are purchased by consumers, and 700 bushels by the government. The program costs the government $3500. Farmers receive $5000 in total revenue.

Explanation: A price floor is a legitimate minimum value that the government sets on a product in the market, usually to protect the suppliers/farmers. Using the ballpark values as in the answer, to estimate and explain the concept of a price floor:

Say total quantity produced is 1000 bushels of corn from which the Market demands 300 bushels. Given that the government has set a price floor at $5 per bushel; then the Government has to buy the surplus bushels of corn in the market from the farmers.

Surplus bushels = Quantity produced – Quantity purchased

1000 bushels – 300 bushels = 700 surplus bushels of corn to be purchased at $5 each by the government

Therefore: It would cost the government (700 bushels x $5 =) $3,500 to mop up the surplus in the market and pay the farmers. The 300 bushels purchased by consumers would yield (300 x $5 =) $1,500 in earnings for the farmers. Total earning by the farmers = $3500 (from the government) and $1500 from consumers) = $5000.

I hope this helps to understand the concept of price floors.
