Answer:

b. The slope of the budget constraint is the same for each woman.

Explanation:

Budget Line is the combination of two goods that a consumer can buy, given prices & money income (all spent).

Equation : p1x1 + p2x2 = m ;

where p1 & p2 are price of good 1 & 2 , x1 & x2 are quantities of good 1 & good 2 , m = money income  

  • Abby's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 80
  • Bobbi's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 60
  • Deborah's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 40 [ I = Icecream, N = Novel ]  

Slope of Budget Line represents change (sacrifise) of a good needed to get change (gain) of other good, given same prices & income.

Slope = ΔY/ΔX = Px / Py

Since prices are same for each woman, price ratios & hence the slope of budget line will also be same for all of them.

A company issued 5-year, 7% bonds with a par value of $500,000. The market rate when the bonds were issued was 6.5%. The company
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The correct answer is $17,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Bonds percent = 7%

Par value of bonds = $500,000

Market rate = 6.5%

Cash received = $505,000

So, we can calculate the amount of recorded interest for semiannual interest period by using following formula:

First we calculate the premium on bonds,

So, Premium on bonds = Cash received - Par value of bonds

= $505,000 - $500,000

= $5,000

So, straight line amortization = Premium on bonds ÷ years

= $5,000 ÷ 5

= $1,000

So, Amount of interest expense for first semiannual is as follows:

Amount of interest = ( Par value of bonds × Bonds percent ) ÷ 2 - (straight line amortization ÷ 2)

= ( $500,000 × 7% ) ÷ 2 - ( $1,000 ÷ 2 )

=  $17,500 - $500

= $17,000.

The demand for yak butter is given by 150 – 3pd and the supply is 3ps – 30, where Pa is the price paid by demanders and ps is th
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) Attached

2) 150-3p = 3p-30

3) P=30, Q=60

4) 150-3p = 3p-90

5) P=40 and Q=30

6) Ps=Pd+10

7) P=35, Q=45

8) P=45, Q=45

Explanation:

We can write the equation for the quantity demanded as:

Q_d=150-3p_d

And the equation for the quantity supplied as:

Q_s=3p_s-30

1) Attached

2) The equilibrium price can be calculated by making the quantity supplied equal to quantity demanded:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-30=150-3p\\\\6p=150+30=180\\\\p=180/6=30

3) The equilibrium price is P=30.

The equilibrium quantity can be calculated as:

Q_s=150-3*30=150-90=60

The equilibrium quantity is Q=60.

4) The supply now becomes:

Q'_s=3p_s-90

The equation for the new equilibrium price is:

Q_d=Q'_s\\\\150-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=150+90=240\\\\p=240/6=40

Qd=150-3*40=150-120=30

5) The new equilibrium is at p=40 and Q=30

6) They will receive

p_s=p_d+subsidy=p_d+10

7)  In this case, the quantity supplied becomes:

Q_s=3p_s-90=3(p+10)-90=3p+30-90=3p-60

The new price equilibrium becomes P=35:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-60=150-3p\\\\6p=150+60\\\\p=210/6=35

The quantity for this equilibrium is Q=45:

Q_d=150-3*35=150-105=45

8) Now, the equations for demand and supply are:

Q_s=3p-90\\\\Q_d=150-3(p-10)=150-3p+30=180-3p

The equilibrium price and quantity becomes:

Q_d=Q_s\\\\180-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=180+90\\\\p=270/6=45\\\\\\Q_d=180-3*45=180-135=45

One bag of flour is sold for $1.00 to a bakery, which uses the flour to bake bread that is sold for $3.00 to consumers. A second
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Increase in GDP =  $5

correct option is b. GDP increases by $5.00

Explanation:

given data

bake bread sold = $3.00

flour sold = $1

sells to consumer = $2.00

to find out

what is the effect on GDP

solution

we get GDP that is increase is express as

Increase in GDP = flour sold + ( bake bread sold - flour sold  ) + sells to consumer   ..................1

put here value we get by equation 1

Increase in GDP = $1 + ( $3 - $1 ) + $2

Increase in GDP =  $5

correct option is b. GDP increases by $5.00
