Answer:

d. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

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.

Amal is preparing a report about a planned wave of layoffs at the plant where she works. she wants to use the inductive method.
Zarrin [17]
In inductive reasoning, the premises are seen as supplying strong evidence for the truth of the conclusion. The conclusion is definite, but the truth may be probable, based on the available evidence. So she might say, that based on the past history of the company involved, whenever the company is losing money for a given length  of time, there are layoffs, so in these similar circumstances it is probable that these planned layoffs will occur.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

a)J = 450,000 +(20% * C)

b)C =250000+ (50%*J )

c)J = 450000 + {20%* [250000+(50%*J)}

Explanation:

a)J = 450,000 +(20% * C)

This represent the total cost of Janitorial Department due to the fact that 450000 is a direct cost of janitorial department plus 20% of total cost of Cafeteria department allocated to Janitorial department.

b)C =250,000+ (50%*J )

This represent the total cost of cafeteria Department due to the fact that 250,000 is a direct cost of cafeteria department plus 50% of total cost of Janitorial department allocated to cafeteria department.

c)

Substituting the value of C determined in part b in part a

J = 450,000 + {20%* [250,000+(50%*J)}

Therefore in place of C in equation 1 ,the value of c determined in equation 2 is thereby substituted .

At a price of $15 each, Marta buys 4 books per month. When the price increases to $20, Marta buys 3 books per month. Luz says th
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

No, Luz is incorrect. Marta's quantity demanded has decreased, but her demand has stayed the same.

Explanation:

For $15 per book, the quantity demanded was 4 books per month.

When the price increases to $20 per book, the quantity demanded fell to 3 books per month.

This shows a decrease in the quantity demanded. A change in demand occurs when the price is constant and quantity demanded changes because of change in other factors. But here the other factors are constant and the quantity demanded is changing due to a change in price.

So, Luz's statement here is incorrect.
