Answer:

$600,000

Explanation:

Opportunity  cost also known as implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

the next best option to Bob is to sell the cafe. If he did, he would have earned $600,000. This is his opportunity cost.

$50,000 constitutes a variable cost while $7000 is a fixed cost.

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments

If production is zero or if production is a million, Rent payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.  

Variable costs are costs that vary with production

If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.

Which of the following statements support the claim that incentives matter? Explain why or why not. 1. When income transfers to
siniylev [52]

Answer:

1. When income transfers to the able­bodied poor increase, the recipients will have less incentive to work.

The incentive to work for most people is earning a wage to make a living.

For the poor, this incentive is even more so, because usually, the lack of work for them means severe lacking in their material needs: shelter, food, clothing, electricity, drinking water, and so on.

If the poor are given income transfers from the government, they will have less incentive to work simply because they now obtain some income without the need of doing so.

The incentive to work is reduced even more if the income transfers to the ablebodied poor increase so much that they become higher than the minimum wage. In a situation like this, many ablebodied poor will simply stop searching jobs because they can earn more money from the government by not working.

Ludmilka [50]

Joe should decrease his consumption of crackers and his marginal utility from crackers will  increase and also  increase his consumption of cheese and his marginal utility from cheese will decrease .

<h3>What happens to marginal utility when consumption decreases?</h3>

According to the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility, the additional utility derived from increasing consumption declines with each additional increase in consumption level.

What happens to marginal utility when consumption increases?

According to the law of declining marginal utility, when consumption rises, the marginal utility gained from each extra unit decreases, all other things being equal.

Why does marginal utility decrease as more is consumed?

  • Consumers will only purchase more of a specific good if the price drops since they get less satisfaction from consuming more units of that good.
  • Thus, the law of diminishing marginal value contributes to the understanding of the law of demand.

Drupady [299]

Answer: $60 million

Total output = (Number of workers * work time * payment rate per hour)

Total output = 2000 * 1500 * 20
