Answer:

Increases in direct proportion to the number of hours the lawn equipment is operated.

Explanation:

Variable costs refer to those costs which vary or change with the level of production output. Such costs rise as production level increases and fall with decrease in the production level.

Examples of variable costs would include direct labor cost which varies with the number of hours worked, or sales commission which varies w.r.t the volume of sales effected by a salesperson.

In the given case, the cost incurred on gasoline, which is used as fuel for lawn equipment, would be classified as a variable cost if, such cost increases when lawn equipment is operated for more hours or falls when the same equipment is operated for lesser number of hours.

Thus, such costs should increase in direct proportion to the number of hours the lawn equipment is operared, to be classified as a variable cost.

1. 50 cases of beer from a dutch distributor at $40 per case

When Dmitri (assuming he is in the United States) Purchases a 50 cases of beer abroad, Imports increase by $2000 ($40 x 50 cases)

Imports have a negative impact on the Gross domestic product, Therefore the Gross domestic product will decrease by $2000

-$2000 imports = -2000 Gross Domestic Product. ceteris pa

2.US Company sells 200 Transistors to a Spanish company at $15 per case

Exports increase Gross domestic product. When a US Company sells 200 transistors to a Spanish Company at a price of $15 per transistor, Exports will increase by $3000. When export increase Gross domestic product will also increase by -$3000 ceteris par

+$3000 export = + 3000 Gross Domestic Product.

3. Jake US Citizen pays $1500 for a laptop he orders from microell (a US company)

+$1500 Consumption = + $1500 Gross domestic product

Combined effect of these Transactions

Consumption + Investment + government spending + (export - import)= GDP

+$1500 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ($3000 - $2000) = + $2500        

These transactions combines will increase the Gross Domestic Products by +2500
