Answer:

option C is correct CPI in Kansas City is 125 and in Dallas is 150.

Explanation:

given data

Kansas City pays = $50,000

Dallas that pays = $60,000

solution

we know that CPI base year is always  = 100

first we get here real salary value in Kansas City that is express as

Real Value = Salary in Kansas City × (CPI base year ÷ CPI current year) ..........1

put her value we get

Real Value = $50,000 × \frac{100}{125}

Real Value =  $40000

and now we get here real salary value in Dallas that is express as

Real Value = Salary in Dallas City × (CPI base year ÷ CPI current year) ..........2

put her value we get

Real Value = $60,000 × \frac{100}{150}

Real Value =  $40000

so now we can see that both value is same in both city with CPI Kansas City = 125 and CPI Dallas = 150

so here correct option is c. 125 in Kansas City and 150 in Dallas

hodyreva [135]

Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

Given Data;

Total government demand is Q = 800 -10P

marginal cost (Mc) = $50

contracted price (cp) = $70 per unit

Therefore;

Marginal Revenue ( MR ) = Marginal Cost ( MC)

Q = 800 -10P

800 - Q = 10P

Divide through by 10, where Q = 1

800/10 - 1/10 = P

80 - 0.1Q = P

Total Revenue(TR) = PQ

TR = 80 - 0.1Q

MR = MC

where MC = $50

80 - 0.1Q = 50

Collecting like terms

80 - 50 = 0.1Q

30 = 0.1 Q

Divide both side by 0.1

Q = 300

Price would be

P = 80 - 0.1Q

P = 80 - 0.1(300)

P = $50

MC = 40

Producing Q units

Total Cost (TC ) = 40 * ( 300 )

= $12,000

Total profit

= TR - TC

= ( P * Q ) - $12,000

= ( $50 * 300 ) - $12,000

= $15,000 - $12,000

= $3,000

Changes caused by regulations

Contracted price = $70

Quantity = 100Units

TT’ = ( P * Q ) - TC

= ( 70 * 100 ) - ( 50 * 100 )

= $7,000 - $5,000

= $2,000

TT - TT’ = $ ( 3000 - 2000 )

= $1,000

If legislation is passed all profit would reduce by $1,000
