Answer:

3.4%

Explanation:

The computation of the  Purple Swift’s paint capacity cushion is shown below:

Time to paint 10 birdhouses (45 × 10 ÷ 60) 7.5 hours

Changeover time  1 hours

Total Operations time per lot (7.5 + 1) 8.5 hours

Hours available per year (8 × 220)   1760  

Capacity (number of lots each year) (1760 ÷ 8.5) 207.06  

Capacity (number of birdhouses each year) =207.06*10 2070.6  

Actual Production given 2000  

Utilization (2000 ÷ 2070.6) 96.6%  

Capacity cushion = 100% - Utilization

= 100% - 96.6%

= 3.4%

There will be the decrease in price hence the supply curve shifts to the left.

Explanation:

So, it is given from the question above that the supply function for avocados is Q = 58 + 15p - 20p_f.

The p_f given in the question = $1.10 which is the price given for the fertilizer as it rises that is to say it rises at that amount.

If the price increases by $1.10, then we have a reduction of -( 20 × 1.10) = -22.

Kindly note that the negative sign denotes the reduction in supply. This reduction causes the supply curve to shift to the left.

The diagram for the supply curve Is given in the attached picture.
