Answer:

The coldrink is more expensive in Can form.

Can is $0.044/oz more expensive than bottle

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of 12-oz can = 75 cents = $0.75

Cost of 2 Liter bottle = $1.25

Now,

Cost per oz for can = $0.75 ÷ 12

= $0.0625/oz

For bottle

Total oz contained = 2 × 1.057 × 32 oz     [As 1.0 L = 1.057 qt, 1 qt = 32 oz]

= 67.648 oz

Therefore,

Cost per oz for bottle = $1.25 ÷  67.648 oz

= $0.0185/oz

Hence,

The coldrink is more expensive in Can form.

Difference = $0.0625/oz - $0.0185/oz

= $0.044/oz

Hence,

Can is $0.044/oz more expensive than bottle

<span>A flaw in the governor's reasoning is that a lot of people in that age bracket who are already juvenile delinquents aren't going to stop doing bad things just because they might get paid more at a job. Those people may just not want to have a job and would rather enjoy their youth causing trouble before they have to "settle" into a career.</span>

Marquese is making 10 pounds of trail mix from raisins and nuts. Raisins cost $3.45 per pound, and nuts cost $7.95 per pound. Ho
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Pounds of raisins = 8.78 pounds

Pounds of nuts =  1.22 pounds

Explanation:

  • Let X equal pounds of raisins
  • Let (10-X) equal pounds of nuts
  • Multiply by the costs for each and set it all equal to 10 pounds at $4/pound

$3.45X + $7.95(10-x) = 10 pounds *$4/pound

$3.45X + 79.50 - 7.95x = $40  

Now simplify the x variables on the left and subtract the dollar amount from the right:

3.45x-7.95x = 40-79.50

-4.5x= -39.50

Divide by negative 4.5 to solve for x

x= 8.78 (rounded)

Remember that x= amount of raisins and (10-x)= pounds of nuts

Pounds of raisins = 8.78 pounds

Pounds of nuts = (10-8.78) = 1.22 pounds

Notice that 8.78+1.22 = 10 pounds, so it all checks out!

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": match the competitors ad campaign but with lower prices.

Explanation:

If it is confirmed that the number of breakfast customers of the fast-food chain restaurant has dropped because of its competitor's implementation of a "good-to-go" breakfast menu, the fast-food chain restaurant should strike back with a similar sale strategy for the breakfast menu but reducing the prices without falling into predatory pricing. The restaurant should also find out a way of improving the current service its competitor is providing to engage the consumers.

Producer surplus directly measures a. the well-being of buyers and sellers. b. the well-being of society as a whole. c. the well
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

c. the well-being of sellers.

Explanation:

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

On the other hand, consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus.

In conclusion, producer surplus directly measures the well-being of sellers.
