Answer: These data are insufficient for calculating the elasticity of demand because we also need to know the  <em><u>percentage decrease in the production of corn . </u></em>

The price elasticity of demand is defined as the percentage change in the quantity divided by the percentage change in demand.

The data gives the percentage change in demand in numbers (-25%). However, although there is a description of the effect of the drought on corn production, there is no numerical data that indicates the percentage change in the quantity.  Hence this data is insufficient to calculate the elasticity of demand.

Helen spent the last 85 days of 2020 in a nursing home. The cost of the services provided to her was $27,625 ($325 per day). Med
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.

Explanation:

Data Given:

Number of Days Helen Spent = 85 days

Cost of the services = $27,625

Medicare Paid = $8400

Benefits received = $15440

Assumption: Federal Daily Excludible amount = $380

Solution:

Daily Statutory  amount = Daily Excludible amount x number days spent

Daily Statutory  amount =  $380 x 85 days

Daily Statutory  amount = $32300

We know that,

Amount of Medicare Paid = $8400

So, now we need to calculate the amount of exclusion first.

1. Amount of Exclusion = cost of the services - Medicare paid

Amount of Exclusion = $27625 - $8400 = $19225

So, now we calculate the amount included into the gross income of Helen.

2. Amount included in gross income = Benefits Received - Amount of Exclusion

Amount included in gross income =  $15440 - $19225

Amount included in gross income = -$3785

Here, we will not cater the negative, which means that amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.

Suppose the economy had been producing at potential output but is now experiencing a recession. Which of the following are discr
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: a) -A tax cut

-Additional spending on national park facilities

b) Expansionary fiscal policy

Explanation:

Fiscal Policy refers to how the government of a country is using it's spending and taxes to influence Economic conditions on a Macro level.

The keywords for this question are TAXES and SPENDING.

The means that a Discretionary FISCAL policy includes Taxes and Spending.

Now the way to close the Recessionary gap that is opening is to put more money into the Economy. The Government can do this by REDUCING TAXES which will means people have more money to spend and ADDITIONAL SPENDING on NATIONAL PARK FACILITIES as this means that the government is pumping more money into the Economy.

The discretionary fiscal policy needed to bring the economy closer to potential output is an example of an EXPANSIONARY FISCAL POLICY.

This is where the Government aims to put more money into the economy so that growth can be acheived and they do this by lowering taxes and increasing spending either singularly or simultaneously.

From 2000 to 2003, the number of employees at a certain company increased by a factor of 1/4. From 2003 to 2006, the number of e
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Let's assume that "X" be the number of employees in 2000.

∵ it's given :

From 2000 to 2003: the number of employees increased by a factor of 1/4

From 2003 to 2006: the number of employees decreased by a factor of 1/3

∴ We can equate the following details:

X×(increase in employee)×(decrease in employee) = 100

X×(1+\frac{1}{4})×(1-\frac{1}{3}) = 100  

X×(\frac{5}{4})×(\frac{2}{3}) = 100  

X×(\frac{10}{12}) = 100  

X = 100×(\frac{12}{10})  

<em>X = 120  </em>

<u><em>Therefore, the correct option is (b)</em></u>
