Answer:
<u>lower return </u>
Explanation:
an additionl unit of capital will have a <u>lower return</u> in Alpha compared to Beta
The diminishing return theory explains that if a factor is added, while the other remains the same, the return for each additional quantity added will be lower. So if both countries have the same amount of factor, Alpha adding more capital will not have the same return as doing it in Beta
ΔCapital/(40,000 + labor + land) < ΔCapital/(5,000 + labor + land)
That's because the divisor ir greater in Alpha it is required a higher amount of capital to produce the same return.
Answer: The correct answer is (A) : Positive upward slope.
Explanation: A demand curve is basically a graph like any other with the variables in potted on both the x-axis (left to right) and the y-axis (top to bottom). Understanding the definition of demand would make it easier to understand why the answer is option A and why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.
Demand can be defined as the quantity of a commodity or service that a consumer is willing and able to buy at a given price and at a particular point in time. And the law of demand states that “other factors being held constant, the higher the price of a commodity, the lower the quantity being demanded by the consumer. And the lower the price of a commodity, the higher the quantity being demanded by a consumer.”
This is simply a rational consumer behavior. So if the price of movie tickets were to go up let’s say from $10 to $15 then a consumer who previously could afford to watch 8 movies in a month (that’s $80) would be having second thoughts and so, rather than spend $120 per month on movie tickets, would be more inclined to watch less movies and stay within his/her $80 budget.
Therefore, on the demand curve, as the price of movie tickets moves positively towards the right side (on the x-axis), the quantity demanded would move negatively downwards (on the y-axis). As one variable increases the other one decreases, and vice versa. That explains why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.
Answer:
a. x3+x4<=1
Explanation:
We need a multiple choice constraint. Constraint x3+x4 <= 1 states that only one of the 2 options of landlord or contractor working on kitchen tiles can be used. (Assuming x3, x4 are binary variables)
Hence if x3 = 1, x4 is 0, and if x4=1, x3 becomes 0. Please note, there is no constraint in question specifying that kitchen tile has to be done. Hence, both x3 and x4 can be 0 depending on cost optimization, and x3+x4<=1 will still hold correct.
<u>Calculation of debt ratio:</u>
Debt Ratio can be calculated using the following formula:
Debt Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets
We are given that debt/equity ratio is 0.50, it means Total Equity = 2 * Total Debt
Total Assets = Total Debt + Total Equity
So, Total Assets = Total Debt + 2* Total Debt
Or
Total Assets = 3* Total Debt
So, Debt Ratio = Total Debt / 3* Total Debt = 1/3 = 0.3333
Hence, Debt ratio is <u>0.3333</u>
Answer:
If workers agree to accept lower wages
Explanation:
Recession is a business situation in which economic activities are at a decline as a result of reduction in spending.
When this occurs, it affects firms and their investments and as such firms have to reduce their investment to ensure that the firm stays afloat and also trying to stabilize the economy. As part of trying to stabilize the economy, workers have to agree to accept lower wages till the economy is at equilibrium again. Accepting lower wages returns the economy to long-run equilibrium.
Cheers.
