Answer:
it's most likely B or D. but you need to double check
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
It was given that video game is a normal good. We know that there is a positive relationship between the demand for a normal good and income of the consumer, hence, if there is an increase in the income level of the consumer then as a result the demand for a normal good increases which shifts the demand curve for normal good rightwards.
Therefore, this will lead to increase both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the market for video games.
Answer:
Hilary is a retired teacher who lives in Miami and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, she is willing to work 10 hours per week. At $65 per hour, she is willing to work 19 hours per week.
Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Hilary’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 2.37 , which means that Hilary’s supply of labor over this wage range is elastic.
Explanation:
Midpoint elasticity = (Change in labor supplied / Average labor supplied) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)
= [(19 - 10) / (19 + 10) / 2] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50) / 2]
= [9 / (29 / 2)] / [15 / (115 / 2)]
= (9 / 14.5) / (15 / 57.5)
= 0.62/0.26
Midpoint elasticity = 2.37
Once elasticity is greater than 1, supply of labor is Elastic.
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
As the utility function is concave in shape, so person is risk averse. Thus, he will not accept the gamvle.
The difference between utility at point A&C = 70 minus 65 = $5, is less than a the difference between A&B = 65 minus 55 = $10
<u>MCQ:
</u>
Answer is option a&d - risk averse people fear a lot for losing money, thus they overestimate the probability of loss
Since, shape of utility function is concave, hence the double derivative of utility with respect to wealth is negative, so utility falls at an decreasing rate , as wealth increases
Answer:
Normative
Positive
Normative
Positive
Explanation:
Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.
For example, the statement , In some circumstances, if taxes are lowered,
government revenues actually increase, can be tested and it has it basis in economic theory
Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - taxes are too high - is based on opinion. To some it is too high while to others it would be too low
