Answer:

A). The price of gasoline increased in coastal cities since gasoline was harder to find.

Explanation:

As per the principles of demand and supply, a decrease in supply while demand remains constant will cause the price to increase. In Georgia, the supply of gasoline was interrupted by the storm's effect. There was little gasoline coming in, leading to a shortage. After Electricity went off, gasoline demand must have gone high as people needed fuel for generators.

Gasoline has no close substitutes, especially when used as fuel for cars and generators. A shortage results in the scramble for the little available products. Sellers hike prices to maximize profits, and buyers are willing to pay more to get the scarce gasoline, thereby increasing its prices.

Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year

by the base year's prices

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

The GDP price index for this year is calculated by dividing the (A) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year (B) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year (C) cost of a given market basket of goods and services using 2) ______ (A) the base year's prices (B) this year's prices by the 3) ________ A) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year (B) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year (C) cost of a given market basket of goods and services using 4) ______ (A) the base year's prices (B) this year's prices

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP price index = (nominal GDP / Real GDP ) X 100

Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.

For example, country A produces 10 kg of rice at $10 per kg in 2019 and 50kg of beans at $30 per kg in 2018. In 2019, it produces 10 kg of rice at $20 per kg in 2019 and 50kg of beans at $40 per kg in 2019. 2018 is the base year.

Nominal GDP in 2018 = (10 x $10) + (50 x $30) = $1600

Nominal GDP in 2019 = (10 x $20) + (50 x $40) = $2200

Real GDP in 2018 = (10 x $10) + (50 x $30) = $1600

Real GDP in 2019 = (10 x $10) + (50 x $30) = $1600

GDP price index in 2019 = nominal gdp in 2019 / real gdp in 2019 ) x 100

(2200 / 1600 ) x 100 = 137.5

the government removes a $4 tax on buyers of restaurant meals and imposes the same $4 tax on sellers of restaurant meals, then t

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(B)

Explanation:

The price paid by buyers will not change, and the price received by sellers will not change because;

First,

Buyers paid 4$ tax before, later government removes or substracts -$4 tax away causing tax on meal purchased by buyers = $0.

Second,

Prior to removal of the tax on buyers of meals, sellers would have likely included this cost $4 into their cost of meals to buyers.

Now buyers are not imposed tax but the sellers are. Sellers would include this cost into the cost of meals, which is then transferred to buyers.

The equation would look this way;

Cost +$4 tax - $4 tax= + $4

The same cost would apply.

Differential pricing means different buyers pay different prices for the same quality and quantity of a product.

GaryK [48]

Differential pricing means charging different prices to different buyers for the same quality and quantity of product. For example, many movie theaters offer discounted tickets for seniors

<h3>What is pricing?</h3>

Pricing is the process by which a company determines the price at which it will sell its products and services, and it may be part of the company's marketing strategy.

Pricing criteria represent customer or deal characteristics. Price administrators define the pricing criteria that will be used to determine their company's pricing strategy. When you define the pricing segments and pricing strategies, you use the values for the pricing criteria.

It is possible to barter. Buyers must decide whether the utility gained from the exchange is worth the loss of purchasing power. In an open market economy, price represents the value of a good/service among potential purchasers and ensures competition among sellers.

A manufacturer makes and sells 2 products, P and Q. The revenue from the sale of each unit of P is $20.00 and the revenue from t

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

$18

Explanation:

Since the manufacturer sold twice as many units of Q than P, that means it at least sold 1 unit of P and 2 units of Q.

to determine the arithmetic mean (average) revenue per unit:

total revenue = P + 2Q = $20 + (2 x $17) = $20 + $34 = $54

arithmetic mean (average price) = $54 / 3 = $18
