The largest and most expensive social welfare programs in
America are Social Security and Medicare. Medicare receives the funding the
most, and it is not tested program while the social security is the example of entitlement.
The Social Security Act of 1935 brought government into the equation of the
obligations of one generation to another.
Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).
Explanation:
The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:
= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital
= 1 / 3
Marginal product of labor = 1
Marginal product of capital = 3
This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.
If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.
If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
Answer:
D. A rolling budget is a budget or plan that is always available for a specified future period, by continually adding a period (month, quarter, or year) to the period that just ended. A four-quarter rolling budget for 2017 is superseded by a four-quarter rolling budget for April 2017 to March 2018, and so on
Explanation:
A rolling budget is a budget that is always updated with a new budget period when the recent budget period is over.
Answer:
A) Q=17
B) $80
C) 518
Explanation:
C(Q) = 60 + 12Q + 2Q2
and its MC = 12+ 4Q
a.How much output should the firm produce in the short run?
Put P = MC and solve for Q
P＝MC
80=12+4Q
4Q=68
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
Q=17
b.What price should the firm charge in the short-run? $80
c.What are the firm’s short-run profits?
Hint:
Profit=Total Revenue-Total CostTotal Revenue=$80x17=1360
TotalCost=60+12x17+2(17)2=60+204+578=842
Profit=1360-842=518
