Explanation:
the options are missing, so I looked them up:
a. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are normal goods.
b. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are normal goods.
c. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.
d. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.
Inferior goods are those goods whose quantity demanded decreases as consumer income increases. This happens because inferior goods have several substitute products that cost more, but as consumer income increases, consumers will tend to purchase the more expensive substitute goods instead of the cheaper inferior ones. I.e. as consumer income increases, they will seek to purchase higher quality goods, and inferior goods are generally low quality goods that are mostly purchased by people located at the lower socio-economic classes. Other examples of inferior goods are canned meat, instant noodles and cheap frozen foods.
Since the quantity demanded of inferior goods decreases as the economy improves, the demand curve shifts to the left, which will result in a lower equilibrium price.

Answer:
Real GDP per capita can increase or decrease when Real GDP increases
Explanation:
Real GDP per capita is calculated by dividing Real GDP by the number of people in a country. Therefore:
- If population increase more quickly than the increase in real GDP, then real GDP per capita would decrease.
- If population decreases, stays the same or increases more slowly as Real GDP increases, then real GDP per capita would increase.
Answer: $320
Explanation:
The Profit as the question shows is the Total Revenue less the total cost.
Total Revenue.
This will be the amount of goods sold multiplied by the price they are sold at.
The monopolist maximises output where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost which from the graph is 4 units.
The price they sell at is the intersection of this quantity with the demand curve which is at $120.
Total Revenue = Units Sold * Price
= 4 * 120
= $480
Total Cost
The total cost will be the average cost per unit multiplied by the number of units sold. The relevant average cost is the cost associated with the maximised out of 4 units which according to the graph is $40.
= Average cost * number of units
= 40 * 4
= $160
Profit = 480 - 160
= $320
