Answer:

20 more tons of pollution into the air, and Firm B will emit 100 fewer tons of pollution into the air.

Explanation:

It is given that :

Amount of tons of pollutants emitted by the two firms A and B earlier = 100 tons

Cost of pollutants by firm A = $ 200 per ton of pollutions

Cost of pollutants by firm B = $ 100 per ton of pollutions

Since the cost for eliminating the pollutants into the air is more for the firm A, the ticket is also more valuable for firm A. And therefore, firm A will buy all the tickets form firm B for an amount around $ 101 to $ 199. It will do so as to have a positive consumer and also to produce surplus.

So firm A will eliminate 20 tons of pollution and will use 80 ton capacity from the tickets. And for firm B, it will eliminate all 100 tons of pollutions.

Assume that the labor market for retail workers is generally unskilled. If a minimum wage is set in the labor market for retail
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

there will be a surplus of retail workers in this labor market.

Explanation:

In the attached diagram the scenario is illustrated.

When the minimum wage is above the equilibrium wage it means that the minimum wage is above what employees are willing to pay workers. So employees will be less wiling to pay this amount.

There will be a reduction in the number of available slots for workers.

On the other hand workers will receive higher wage than they expected but since the slots for work are now limited there will be a surplus of labour in the market

A ______ the supply curve represents a change in supply while a ______ the supply curve represents a change in the quantity supp
Arisa [49]

A <u>shift </u><u>of</u> the supply curve represents a change in supply while a <u>movement </u><u>along</u> the supply curve represents a change in the quantity supplied.

Supply is defined in economics as the total amount of a specified product or service offered to consumers by a supplier at a specified time and price level. This is usually determined by market movements. For example, increased demand may prompt suppliers to increase supply.

In economics, supply is the number of goods that an individual or firm makes available in the market. This refers to the amount you are producing at a particular point in time. For example, if Apple made 100 of its iPhones, that would be the product to be launched. Supply can refer to the quantity available at a particular price or the quantity available across the price range displayed on the chart.

A company has budgeted fixed overhead of $1.00 per hour at expected capacity of 5,000 units which have a standard quantity of 2
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$400 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the volume variance is shown below:

Fixed overhead Volume Variance = Actual Overheads - Budgeted Overheads

where,

Actual overhead is

= 5,200 units × 2 hours × $1

= $10,400      

And, the budgeted overhead is

= 5,000 units × 2 hours × $1

= $10,000      

So, the volume variance is

= $10,400 - $10,000

= $400 favorable

We simply deduct the budgeted cost from the actual cost so that the difference could be come
