Given that <span>Arlo is offered a job in des moines, where the cpi is 80, and a job in new york, where the cpi is 125. arlo's job offer in des moines is for $42,000.

Let the amount the new york job will pay be x, then

\frac{x}{125} = \frac{42,000}{80} =525 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=125\times525=\$65,625

Therefore, the new york job have to pay him $65,625 in order for the two salaries to represent the same purchasing power.</span>

. A one-product firm estimates that its daily total cost function (in suitable units) is C (x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15 and its t
givi [52]

Answer:

Value of x maximising profit : x = 5

Explanation:

Cost : C(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15 ; Revenue: R(x) = 28x

Profit : Revenue - Cost = R(x) - C(x)

28x - [x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15]  = 28x - x^3 + 6x^2 - 13x - 15

= - x^3 +  6x^2 + 15x - 15

To find value of 'x' that maximises total profit , we differentiate total profit function with respect to x & find that x value.

dTP/dx = - 3x^2 + 12x + 15 = 0 ► 3x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0

3x^2 + 3x - 15x - 15 = 0  ► 3x (x +1) - 15 (x + 1) = 0 ► (x+1) (3x-15) = 0

x + 1 = 0 ∴ x = -1   [Rejected, production quantity cant be negative] ;

3x - 15 = 0 ∴ 3x = 15 ∴ x = 15/3 = 5

Double derivate : d^2TP/dx^2 = - 6x + 12

d^2TP/dx^2  i.e - 6x + 12  at x = 5 is -6(5) + 12 = - 30+ 12 = -8 which is negative. So profit function is maximum at x = 5

Normal and inferior goods are differently impacted by recessions. Examples include new cars versus fast food. The textbook examp
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

research four other examples of inferior goods.

There are many examples of inferior goods. Inferior goods are al those goods whose demand rises in times of economic recession. Some examples are:

Cheap food substitutes like supermarket coffee, instantaneous ramen, or canned vegetables.

Cheap clothes.

Flights in low-cost airlines.

Consider the impact of economic recessions and expansions on normal goods.

Economic recessions impact normal goods negatively because people have less income to spend, and they opt to substitute the normal goods for inferior goods.

discuss how revenues of inferior goods producers are expected to be affected by economic recessions and expansions.

In economic recessions, revenues for producers of inferior goods are expected to rise because demand for inferior goods grows. However, because inferior goods are precisely cheaper, this does not necessarily mean that every inferior good producer will make a lot of money.

In economic expansions, revenues for producers of inferior goods will fall, because people, with more income, will flock to normal goods or even luxury goods.
