The answer is explained in detail below

Explanation:

a_{KC} = 2

a_{LC} = 2

a_{KF} = 3

a_{LF} = 1

Labor, L = 2000; Capital, K = 3000  

Labour constraint,

2Q_{c} + Q_{F} \leq 2000

Capital constraint ,

2Q_{c} + 3Q_{F} \leq 3000  

Solving the equation further, we get

Q_{F} \leq 2000 - 2Q_{C}

Q_{F} \leq 1000 - \frac{2}{3} Q_{C}

  • The range for the relative price of cloth such that the economy produces both cloth and food is  2/3 and 2
  • Low cloth production → economy will use relatively more labor to  produce cloth → opportunity cost of cloth is 2/3rd units of food.
  • High cloth  production → economy dips on labor → taking capital away from food  production → raising opportunity cost of cloth to 2 units of food.  
  • If relative price of cloth lies between 2/3 and  2 units of food, the economy  produces both goods.
  • If the price of cloth decreases below 2/3 → complete  specialization in food production → low compensation for producing cloth
  • If the price of cloth  rises above 2 → complete specialization in cloth production → low compensation for producing  food

Explanation:

Preparation of the differential analysis dated March 15 to determine whether Laredo Corporation should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment

Differential Analysis

Lease (Alt. 1) or Buy (Alt. 2) Equipment

March 15

Lease Equipment (Alternative 1); Buy Equipment

(Alternative 2); Differential Effects (Alternative 2)

Costs:

Purchase price $0 $120,000 $120,000

Freight and installation $0 $1,500 $1,500

Repair and maintenance (6 years) $0 $13,200.$13,200

($2,200*6=$13,200)

Lease (6 years) $150,000 $0 -$150,000

($25,000*6)

Total costs $150,000 $134,700 -$15,300

Kate's Diner offers one breakfast item, a breakfast special. The market price for this meal is $5. At her profit-maximizing leve
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.

A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run

Using the rule of 70, about how much would $100 be worth after 50 years if the interest rate were 7 percent?
lions [1.4K]

The rule of 70 states that the doubling time or the time required to double an investment is equivalent to 70 divided by the interest rate. So in this case the interest rate is 7%, so the doubling period is:

doubling period = 70 / 7 = 10 years

 

Therefore the investment doubles every 10 years. So:

0 year = $100

10 year = $200

20 year = $400

30 year = $800

40 year = $1600

50 year = $3200

<span>$3200</span>
