Answer:

a. In response to concerns from business leaders, a legislator has designed a new tariff on raw materials used by many manufacturing firms. The legislator felt the new tariff was necessary based on input from the private sector that new discoveries of natural resources abroad would threaten to put domestic producers of raw materials out of business. To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $1,500 on every crate of the imported goods plus an additional 6% of the total value of the imported goods.

protective tariff since it is designed to protect domestic industries from competition of out of state producers. It is designed to increase the price of imported goods.

b. In an effort to balance next year's budget, a senator has proposed a new tariff. She proposed the new tariff with a goal of raising a total of $100 million, To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $2,000 on every ton that is imported.

revenue tariff since its main purpose is to increase government revenue, not to protect domestic industries.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

money supply

Explanation:

Monetarists are a branch of new classical economists that, as the name suggests, believe that money has a very important part to play within an economy.They believe that aggregate expenditures in the economy are influenced by the market rate of interest, and therefore money can affect the level of output in the short run economy.However, they further believe that money influences the long run unemployment in the economy. If monetary policies are used to increase aggregate demand, it is thought that this use of additional money may cause a short term boost in output, but will ultimately lead to inflation in the economy.

So the answer is money supply

A new shop wants to sell Muffins, the sell price is 2.5 dollars per unit. The cost for production is 1 dollar per unit. At the f

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The price went from 2.50 dollar per unit to 1.25

And quantity sold of first hand muffin increase from 500 to 1,600

Explanation:

First day:

We build the equation and solve considering:

a= first hand muffin sold at 2.5 dollar

b = left-over sold at 0.5 dollar

considering the shop made 2,000 muffin and the cost is 1 dollar per muffin:

quantities equation: a + b = 2,000

price equation: 2.5a + 0.5b = 2,000

2.5(2,000 - b) + 0.5b = 2,000

5,000 - 2.5b + 0.5b = 2,000

3,000/2 = b = 1,500

a = 2,000 - b = 2,000 - 1,500 = 500

It sale 500 dollar of muffin at 2.5 and 1,500 at 0.5 getting a total of 2,000 revenue to cover the cost.

Second day:

There is a decrease in price to 1.25 per muffin

This generates a profit of 400 dollar thus:

(sales price less cost) x quantity = profit

(1.25 - 1) x a = 400

a = 400/0.25 = 1,600

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Incremental net income from further processing is $566,600

Explanation:

First of all, it would be necessary to compute profit from selling the product at cut off point and profit when it is further processed in order to determine whether or not it is worth processing further:

Sales revenue $400,000

cost of production(19,000*$25) $475,000

Loss from selling ($75,000)

Further processing:

sales revenue

Product B(5200*$108) $561,600

Product C(11,000*$55) $605,000

Total revenue $1,166,600

total cost

cost of production ($475,000)

cost of further processing ($200,000)

total costs ($675,000)

Profit $491600

By further processing the incremental net profit is $566,600 ($491,600-(-$75000)

A business school would like to know that whether the average number of years of work experience of MBA applicants is less than

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The test statistic t of the sample is -0.804.

There is sufficient evidence to ascertain that the average number of years of work experience of MBA applicants is less than 3 years.

Explanation:

Null hypothesis: The average number of years of work experience of MBA applicants is 3 years.

Alternate hypothesis: The average number of yet of work experience of MBA applicants is less than 3 years.

Test statistic (t) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ sd/√n

sample mean = 2.57

population mean = 3

sd = 3.67

n = 47

t = (2.57 - 3) ÷ 3.67/√47 = -0.43 ÷ 0.535 = -0.804

Assuming a 5% significance level

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 47 - 1 = 46

The critical value corresponding to 46 degrees of freedom and 5% significance level is 2.013.

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic -0.804 is less than the critical value 2.013.

The years of work experience of MBA applicants is less than 3.
