Answer:

Quinn values the apple pie at $4 and the chocolate cake at $10 = total $14

  1. since one "half" will only be chocolate, he needs $7 out of chocolate = 7/10 of the chocolate cake.
  2. the other "half" will include 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $10) + $4 = $3 + $4 = $7

If Dustin chooses the second "half" he will receive 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $4) + $6 = $1.20 + $6 = $7.20

Suppose demand and supply are given by Qd = 60 - P and Qs = 1.0P - 20.
seraphim [82]

Answer:

a.  Equilibrium quantity: 40 units;  Equilibrium price: $40.

b. Quantity demanded: 10 units; Quantity supplied: 30 units;  Surplus: 20 units.

c.  Quantity demanded: 9 units; Quantity supplied: 31 units;  Shortage: 22 units.

Explanation:

a. The equilibrium quantity occurs when the demanded and supplied quantity are the same, the price for which this situation happens is:

60 - P = 1.0P - 20.\\2P=80\\P=\$40

At an equilibrium price of $40, the equilibrium quantity is:

Q = $40 -20 = 40\ units

b. At a price of $50, the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the surplus are, respectively:

Q_d = 60 - P =60-50 =10\ units\\Q_s = 1.0P - 20=50-20 = 30\ units\\Surp = Q_s - Q_d = 30 -10 = 20\ units

c. At a price of $29, the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the shortage are, respectively:

Q_d = 60 - P =60-29 =31\ units\\Q_s = 1.0P - 20=29-20 = 9\ units\\Short = Q_d - Q_s = 31 -9 = 22\ units

If the equilibrium price of avocados is $4 and the government issues a price ceiling of $4.50, what is likely to happen in the m
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A surplus of avocados will result from the price ceiling.

Explanation:

A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service.

A price ceiling is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.

The price ceiling ($4.50) is less than the equilibrium price ($4) of avocados. As a result, surplus would increase. The supply of avocados would exceed the demand because price ceiling is above equilibrium price

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$309

Explanation:

The computation of the gross earning for the week is as follows:

Given that

Payment of $7.15 × 8 = $57.2  or payment of  each unit produced whichever is greater

On monday

= 90 units × $0.60

=  $54

But the greater is $57.2

On tuesday

= 114 units × $0.60

=  $68.4

On Wednesday

= 82 units × $0.60

= $49.20

But the greater is $57.2

On thursday

= 112 units × $0.60

= $67.20

On friday

= 98 units × $0.60

= $58.80

Now the earnings for the last week is

= $57.20 + $68.4 + $57.20 + $67.20 + $58.80

= $308.80

= $309
