Answer:
The correct answer is (B) False.
Explanation:
Variable costs, as the name implies, differ with the level of production and are associated with the use of variable factors, such as labor and raw materials. Since the amounts of factors increase as production increases, variable costs increase when it does.
Answer:
Explanation:
Cablevision can easily accomplish this by doing the following. First gather the number of sales of premium services and other products that non-trained individuals are accomplishing in a given time period (example, one month). Next, under the same conditions place the newly trained individuals and gather the same data from them (number of sales/subscribers gained, premium products, and other products). Finally, they would simply need to compare the difference in the number of sales to see if the training paid off. They would also need to calculate if the difference in sales surpasses the costs of training.
Answer:
(a) How this episode is likely to affect the economic well-being of people in the country
In the short-run, there will be an increase in labor demanded, increasing jobs to build homes and repair the damage caused by the earthquake. In the long-run, things will begin to go back to normal.
(b) How this episode is likely to affect the economy’s measured GDP
In this case, GDP measurements will shift causing less of an input in private spending and an increase in government spending due to subsidies to increase home-building.
Answer:
PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line
Explanation:
PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.
Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.
∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained
If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line
Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]
0 20 _
10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)
20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)
So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.
However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.
