Answer:

400,000 gallon's of fuel oil

200,000 gallon's of gasoline

Explanation:

Constraint 1: you must produce at least 2 gallons of fuel oil for every gallon of gasoline

So for every three gallons you must have 2 fuel oil and one gasoline.

Thus 600,000/3 = 200,000

200,000 × 2 = 400,000 fuel oil 200,000 × 1 = 200,000 gasoline

Constraint 2: is that at least 150,000 gallons of fuel oil must be produced. 400,000 is greater than 150,000

A quota on imported avocadoes ______________ the price of avocadoes, _____________ consumers’ surplus for avocado buyers, ______
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: increase; reduce; increase; does not generate; consumers; producers and government

Explanation:

A quota is a trade restriction that limits the quantity imported of a good. An import quota on avocadoes will reduce the supply of avocadoes. This will cause the price of avocadoes to increase. This increase in price will reduce the consumer's surplus and increase the producer surplus.  

A quota does not generate any revenue for the government.  

This imposition of quota creates a deadweight loss for the society as the loss in consumer surplus is greater than the increase in producer surplus and government revenue.

If Hilltop Turf Farm’s total cost of producing acres of sod is TC = 0.2 Q 2 + 120 Q + 5,000, the marginal cost of producing the
Alinara [238K]

Answer: $140

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the marginal cost of producing the 50th acre of sod will be:

TC = 0.2Q² + 120Q + 5000

The marginal cost will be:

= dTC / dQ

= 0.4Q + 120

Then we put the value of Q = 50 into the equation and this will be:

MC = 0.4Q + 120

MC = (0.4 x 50) + 120

MC = 20 + 120

MC = 140

wariber [46]

Answer:

sopomores= 0.0397

juniors= 0.1481

seniors= 0.2063

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

There are two teams of students:

Team A with 3 sophomores, 8 juniors, and 13 seniors. Total of 24 students.

Team B with 5 sophomores, 7 juniors, and 6 seniors. Total of 18 students.

First, we need to calculate the probability of selecting any student on each team:

Team A:

sophomores=3/21= 0.1428

juniros= 8/21= 0.3809

senors= 13/21= 0.619

Team B:

sopomores= 5/18= 0.2778

juniors= 7/18= 0.3889

seniors= 6/18= 0.3333

Now, we can calculate the probability of selecting the same type of students:

sopomores= 0.1428*0.2778= 0.0397

juniors= 0.3809*0.3889= 0.1481

seniors= 0.619*0.3333= 0.2063
