Answer:
D) The extra energy benefits Patrick gets from another can are no longer worth the cost. MB/MC (S)
Explanation:
The optimal quantity for Patrick to consume is 5 cans of GreenCow.
This is the quantity where MARGINAL BENEFIT EQUALS MARGINAL COST. For all quantities up to the 5th, the marginal benefit is higher than the marginal cost. This means that Patrick's net benefit is increasing, and consuming all units up to this point make him better off.
If Patrick were to consume any more than 5 cans of GreenCow, the cost of each additional can would be higher than the additional benefit (because the marginal cost curve is higher than the marginal benefit curve). Consuming any cans beyond the 5th, therefore, makes him worse off.
Options:
<em>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</em>
<em>b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall</em>
<em>c. Stay the same</em>
<em>d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.
What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
Answer: A $304
Explanation: LIFO means last in first out. It means it is the older inventory that is sold off first.
On November 1, total value of inventory = $20 × 5 =$100
On November 2, total value of inventory = $100 + ( $22 × 10) = $320
On November 6, total value of inventory = $320 +($25×6) = $470
On November 8, 8 units of inventory was sold. This would be taken from the older stock of inventory. These inventories are the those from November 1 and 2.
The remaining inventory after the sale = (7 × 22) + 150 = $304
