Answer:
with the third doubling, the AVC = $9.11 per unit
Explanation:
The average variable cost (AVC) decreases by 10% with each doubling of cumulative output:
<u>Production level in units</u> <u>AVC per unit</u>
1,000 $12.50 per unit
2,000 $11.25 per unit
3,000 $10.13 per unit
4,000 $9.11 per unit
Answer:
a. Overstates Inflation.
In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.
b. Understated Inflation
Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.
c. Overstates Inflation
In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.
d. Accurate representation of Inflation
In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.
Answer:
(C) the forces of supply and demand
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive industry, no single buyer nor seller will be able to influence prices thus marking the forces of demand and supply (the invisible hand) the determinant of pricing. Each buyer or seller will only account for a minute portion of total demand and supply thus making their influence of market price insignificant.
Options (A), (B) and (D) are incorrect as the largest firms, individual sellers and individual buyers do not influence pricing over price in a perfectly competitive market.
Answer:
net income = $106,000
Explanation:
net income = total revenues - total expenses = $772,000 - $666,000 = $106,000
Any additional capital raised will increase the company's cash flows (financing activity) and any dividends distributed will decrease them (another financing activity), but they do not affect the company's net income.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
The dynamic model of aggregate supply and aggregate demand shows that if an economy the total spending in the economy increases faster than total production, there will be a shortage. This shortage will cause the price level to increase and will ultimately lead to inflation.
When the increase in aggregate demand is greater than the increase in aggregate supply, it will create a shortage in the economy. The demand for goods and services will be more than the supply of goods and services. This will cause the price level to increase.
