Answer:

C. is producing with the least-costly combination of X and Y,but could increase its profits by employing more of X and less of Y

Explanation:

At equilibrium

We know that

MRPx ÷ MRPy = wx ÷ wy

So, according to the question, it is

100 ÷ 6< 50 ÷ 20

This means that MRPx ÷  wx  > MRPy ÷  wy

In this way, the equilibrium x would be rise and y would be decreased

Therefore the correct option is c.  

And, the rest of the options would be seems wrong

If the Price Level increases to $2.34, then Real Production GDP will have increased to $5200 b and 2 million people will have gained jobs. In the Business Cycle the economy will have moved from Point "x" toward Point y.

Explanation:

The AD-AS model (Aggregate production aggregate) demonstrates national income calculation and price level adjustments.

This shows how various events will change in two of our major macroeconomic indicators: Actual GDP and inflation.

Cindy invests $10000 in an account that pays an annual rate of 3.96%, compounding semi-annually. approximately how much does she
stiks02 [169]

Annual Compound Formula is:

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

Where:

A is the future value of the investment

P is the principal investment

r is the annual interest rate

<span>n is the number of  interest compounded per year</span>

t is the number of years the money is invested


So for the given problem:

P = $10,000

r = 0.0396

n = 2 since it is semi-annual

t = 2 years

 

Solution:

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

A = $10,000 ( 1 + 0.0396/2) ^ (2)(2)

A = $10000 (1.00815834432633616)

A = $10,815.83 is the amount after two years
