Determine whether each statement describes the income effect, the substitution effect, or neither. Assume that all other variabl

es are held constant. The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters. The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef. The average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further. Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line. Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Income effect is when the demand for a particular good or service changes because the real income of the person has changed.

Substitution effect arises when there is a reduction in the sales for a good or service due to a price rise and therefore the consumers have switched to a cheaper alternative. For example, if the price of beef rises, the consumers may shift and purchase more of chicken.

Based on the above scenario, the following will then be:

• The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters.

Income effect

Henry's real income has changed, he has more money and hence reduces the purchase for lobsters because he sees it as inferior good.

• The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef.

Substitution effect

Mary has moved to a cheaper alternative in this situation.

• The average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further.

Income effect

• Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line.

No effect

No effect here as it's neither income effect not substitution effect.

• Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

2018: 8 months

Depreciation= $916,67

2019: full year

Depreciation= $1375

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Taco Hut purchased equipment on May 1, 2018.

Price:  $15,000.

Residual value: $4,000

Useful life: 8 year

We need to calculate the depreciation for 2018 and 2019 using straight-line method:

Depreciation= (purchase price- residual value)/useful life

Depreciation= (15000-4000)/8= $1375

2018: 8 months

Depreciation=(1375/12)*8= 916,67

2019: full year

Depreciation= $1375

For each of the scenarios below, determine whether you think it is likely that an employer could be discriminating against apers
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: A young lawyer who just finished work on a multimillion -dollar development deal downtown is hired by an economic development firm in lieu of an older lawyer who works on litigation

This is not a case of discriminating against a person because of age, as we can see the young lawyer is better suited for a job in economic development as he already has worked on a development deal, where as the older lawyer is a litigator

A large retail outlet hires an 80-year-old woman to greet customers instead of a 30-year-old woman who has been greeting customers in other stores for a decade

This may be a case of age discrimination, because the 30 year old seems to be the better candidate, because she has experience in this work and will be more energetic than the 80 year old as well

The owner of a local, hip smoothie bar in a university town just fired a graduate student who had worked at the bar for three years and instead hired a college sophomore.

This may be a case of age discrimination because the employer is firing a graduate who has had 3 years of experience and hiring someone who hasn't graduated and has no experience

deff fn [24]
It will rain with probability 0.8. if it does, you earn $200 and if not, you earn $400. the expected value is: $200.
This is true because the probability of raining is 0.8%, which is 0.2% away from becoming 1.0%, which is 100%. Since you earn $200 if it rains and the probability of rain is the majority, the expected value is $200.
