Answer:
The elasticity of supply for hot cocoa is 1.43.
(D) Supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa
Explanation:
Using the midpoint formula,
Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = (change in quantity supplied/average quantity supplied) ÷ (change in price/average price)
change in quantity supplied = 101 - 31 = 70
average quantity supplied = (101+31)/2 = 66
70/66 = 1.06
change in price = 9.75 - 4.5 = 5.25
average price = (9.75+4.5)/2 = 7.125
5.25/7.125 = 0.74
Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = 1.06 ÷ 0.74 = 1.43. The supply for hot cocoa is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.
Elasticity of supply for coffee = (73 - 31)/(73+31)/2 ÷ 0.74 = 42/52 ÷ 0.74 = 0.81 ÷ 0.74 = 1.09. The supply for coffee is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.
However, supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa because the elasticity of supply for coffee is less than that of hot coffee.
Answer:
Option "C" is correct.
Explanation:
Option "c" is correct because companies are facing difficulties in the recruitment of workers which exhibits that few workers are available in the market. That means the company does not have enough options regarding the workers so it finds difficulty in the recruitment. Moreover, the availability of few workers means unemployment is very low.
Answer:
C. Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
The lobbyst is using the infant-industry argument because he is claiming that all that the emerging national industry needs is some temporary trade restrictions until it can develop enough to compete.
This argument is very commonly used against free trade, and is based on the belief that national industries should be allowed to grow in isolation before opening up the markets. The problem with this argument is what happens if the national industry remains uncompetitive even after a long period of trade restrictions.
Answer:
a. Plan I is better is we drive 300 miles in a day.
b. 150 miles.
Explanation:
a. if mileage is 300 then rental charges will be,
Plan I : $36 + 17 cents * miles
$36 + 0.17 * 300 = $41.10.
Plan II : $24 + 25 cents * miles
$24 + 0.25 * 300 = $99.00
Plan I total cost for 300 miles is $41.10 whereas Plan II total cost for 300 miles is $99.00. Plan I is better plan and cost effective.
b. For mileage (m) calculation we will use equation;
Plan I = Plan II
$36 + 0.17m = $24 +0.25m
0.25m - 0.17m = $36 - $24
m = $12 / 0.08
m = 150 miles.
Answer:
C) because ultimately it is the change in a firm's overall future cash flows that matter.
Explanation:
Under capital budgeting decisions, decisions are made with respect to addressing the questions like what is the benefit of selecting the project and investing on it.
If the answer to above question is raised income, then the project is selected. Accordingly the raised income in cash terms will be measured by increase in cash flows, that is incremental cash flows.
In simplest terms additional cash flows.
