As new store owners, they had to carefully watch cash flow. As their customer base began to grow, they began offering hot food, and hired others to help with the operation. The economic benefit created in this story is called <u>An Invisible Hand</u>

Explanation:

Invisible hand refers to an economic term that is  used to describe the unexpected benefits of a business venture which was started with the sole purpose of self benefit but later on that benefit is also enjoyed by the community as a whole

This  clearly states the economic  benefit which was unexpected in the business.

In the given Scenario  also, the couple occupied the business but, the benefits were completely unexpected and the growth rate was  also high as related to   investment made.

Thus, the correct phrase for such situation is:<u>Invisible Hand</u>

Suppose a firm is producing in the long run. When it produces 4,000 units of output, its total cost is $8,000. When it produces
Scilla [17]

Answer:

increasing then decreasing

Explanation:

production level            total cost             average total cost

4,000                               $8,000                    $2.00

4,200                               $8,200                     $1.95

4,400                               $8,800                    $2.00

Returns to scale measure the change in productivity, or how much input is needed to produce a unit of output.

  • increasing returns to scale: output increases in a greater proportion than inputs
  • constant returns to scale: output increases in the same proportion as inputs
  • decreasing returns to scale: output increases in a lower proportion than inputs

Since first the average total cost decreased, total output increased in a greater proportion than inputs ⇒ increasing returns of scale. But then the situation reversed and total output increased in a lower proportion than inputs ⇒ decreasing returns of scale.

If frost in Florida reduces the quantity of vegetables sold by 20 percent and increases their retail price by 30 percent, one ca
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The supply of vegetables has shifted to the left along an inelastic demand curve

Explanation: The quantity of vegetables sold has been reduced by 20 percent, which simply means the aggregate market supply curve has experienced a drop/decrease and that is usually indicated by a complete shift of the supply curve to the left.

Furthermore, we can determine easily if the demand is elastic or inelastic, since the question has stated the percentage change in quantity demanded as 20% and the percentage change in price as 30%.

The coefficient of elasticity is calculated as

E = %change in quantity demanded/%change in price

E = 20/30

E =0.66

Since the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1, then it means demand is inelastic.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Break-even level of output = 56

Explanation:

Given:

Annual Revenue = $1,300

Total Fixed cost = $28,000

Variable cost = $800

Computation of contribution:  

Contribution = Sales - Variable cost

Contribution = Revenue - Variable cost

Contribution = $1,300 - $800

Contribution = $500

Computation of Break-even level of output:

Break-even level of output = Total Fixed cost / Contribution

Break-even level of output = $28,000 / $500

Break-even level of output = 56

George walks in and wants to send multiple back to back transactions to the
Gala2k [10]

The statement "The sender & receiver don't know each other, money send for sounds like very good to be true dealing, and the motive of the transactions with respect to the online goods is considered to be questionable" is considered to be the red flag.

The sender i.e. Geroge who not even know the receiver that sells the homeopathy remedies online so this could raise a few issues but it is not to be considered very serious for red-flagged:

  • Since e-commerce arises each and every time that lies between non-known parties online.

This is due to the dirt chape that could make it suspicious also they don't know each other so this should be considered red-flagged.

  • The instructions with regard to the payment do not represent any signal of reliability and truthfulness so might me the receiver is trustworthy and genuine.
  • In the case when the homeopathy remedies do not have the licensing and permissions so it would become questionable.

No one could suggest the specific brand of homeopathy as it becomes nonprofessional and non-appropriate, so the last option is not be considered.

Therefore we can conclude that The statement "The sender & receiver don't know each other, money send for sounds like very good to be true dealing, and the motive of the transactions with respect to the online goods is considered to be questionable" is considered to be the red flag.

A firm's primary objective is to maximize profits; however, there are always two constraints:
alekssr [168]
Two constraints to maximizing profit are cost of production and consumer demand. 

Consumer demand
is essential for revenue. Competition and budget can affect demand and put constraints to profit maximization. Cost of production can constraint profits maximization too because the higher the cost of raw material, the higher the cost of production will be, which in turn will affect the price of the product. This increase in price can also affect the demand.

The answer is then D.
