b. supply, raising the equilibrium price and lowering the equilibrium quantity in the market for artificially sweetened beverages.
Explanation:
In the case when the government impose the tax of 20% on sweetened beverages so here the price should be increased but at the same time the quantity is decreased as the supply curve shifted to the leftward where the demand curve is not impacted at all due to this things the price increased and the demand is decreased

Answer:
1. This is true.
The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.
2. This is true.
German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.
3. This statement is false.
The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.
4. This statement is true.
If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.
5. This is false.
Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.
Answer:
a. $9,338
b. 0.363
Explanation:
a. Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable Cost
Where Sales = $25,700
Variable Cost = Food & Packaging + Payroll + 40% x General, Selling and Administrative expenses
V.C. = 8,982 + 6,500 + 40% * 3,700
V.C = 8,982 + 6,500 + 1,480
= $16,362
Therefore, Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable Cost
= $25,700 - $16,362
=$9,338
b. McDonald's contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin / Sales
= $9,338 / $25,700
= 0.363
Answer:
A negative shock to oil prices will mean that now production becomes cheaper. This will cause the aggregate supply curve to shift rightwards and cause prices to fall and the output level to increase. The fall in prices will be short term however as over time the prices will adjust upwards to the point A which is the original market price.
