Answer:

a. ZTech will have a higher operating leverage because it has a higher fixed cost.

b. ZTech will have a higher profit since it has a higher operating leverage if the economy strengthens.

Explanation:

Operating leverage measures the the extent to which a firm uses fixed cost to finance its operations. The higher the fixed cost, the higher the degree of operating leverage

If the economy strengthens, the firm with a higher degree of operating leverage earns a higher profit.

Refer to exhibit 20-2. the market for good x is initially in equilibrium at $5. the government then places a per-unit tax on goo
Tema [17]

Answer:

45%

Explanation:

The market for good x is initially in equilibrium at $5. the government then places a per-unit tax on good x, as shown by the shift of s1 to s2.

As a result of the shift in the supply curve a new equilibrium price is established at $6.25

That implies that the share of the burden that consumers will bear is $1.25 (which represents 55% portion of the tax) - the difference between the previous and new equilibrium prices.

The other 45% portion of the tax will be borne by the producers
