Answer: D. marginal product; increasing; average variable cost; decreasing

Explanation:

The Marginal product curve is hump-shaped and the marginal cost curve is U-shaped because these two move in opposite directions to each other.

If the marginal cost is decreasing therefore, the marginal product must be increasing. If the marginal cost is decreasing and the marginal product is increasing, average variable cost will have to fall because every additional unit produced incurs less cost so the average has to fall as well.

Answer:

The answer is: A) post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy.

Explanation:

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a Latin phrase that means: "after this, therefore because of this". This phrase is a type of informal fallacy (an argument whose stated premises fail to support their proposed conclusion).

It states that if something happened (e.g. I fell and broke my nose) after something else (e.g. I was using my cellphone), the resulting event was caused by the previous event (e.g. I fell and broke my nose because I was using my cellphone).

When the Constitution was adopted in 1789, why was the federal government granted the authority to raise taxes?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: Debt Payment, National Defense and Welfare of the United States

Explanation:

When the Articles of the Confederation which was the first Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1781, it included a clause that empowered the State Governments to decide what to give to Congress. Some of them gave less and some gave nothing of what they were supposed to give.

Congress was therefore powerless and risked falling apart and with it, the Central Government.

The Constitution of 1789 changed this by including the 'Taxing and Spending' clause.

This clause gave Congress the right to impose taxes. The clause states that Congress can levy taxes to enable it to pay off American debt as well as for the defense and general welfare of American citizens.

The demand curve for a product is given by QXd = 1,200 - 3PX - 0.1PZ where Pz = $300.
arsen [322]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. QXd = 1,200 – 3PX – 0.1PZ

Pz = $300 and Px = $140, plugging the values, we get,

Qx = 1200 – 3*140 – 0.1*300.

Qx = 750 units.

Elasticity of demand = \deltaQx/\deltaPx * Px/Qx.

\deltaQx/\deltaPx = -3.

E = -3 * 140/750.

E = -0.56

The elasticity of demand is INELASTIC because the absolute value of elasticity is less than one. If the firm charges a price below $140it might lose out in revenue because the percentage change in demand is less than the price.

b. Px = $240, substituting this into the equation we get

Qx = 1200 – 3*240 – 0.1*300

Qx = 450 units.

E = -3 * 240/450.

E = -1.6

The demand is elastic because the absolute value is less than one. If the firm charges a price above $240 it might lose out on its revenue because the percent change in demand is more than the price.

c. Cross price elasticity of demand Es = \deltaQx/\deltaPz * Pz/Qx.

\deltaQx/\deltaPz = -0.1

Es = -0.1 * 300/750.

Es = -0.04

The goods are complements of each other. As the price of one increases, the demand for other would fall, and vice-versa is true.

Is monthly rent a fixed expense?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The definition of fixed expenses is “any expense that does not change from period to period," such as mortgage or rent payments, utility bills, and loan payments. The amounts may vary slightly, which may be the case with utilities, but you know they are due on a regular basis.

Hope this helps, have a wonderful day/night, and stay safe!
