Answer: 54.5%

Explanation:

Hydroelectric power is said to cost $0.05 per kWh to produce. A typical house uses 10,900 kWh in a year so in a year it would cost,

= 0.05 * 10,900

= $545

Coal-fired Electricity can be produced at a cost of $0.11 per kWh so a typical house would cost,

= $0.11 * 10,900

= $1,199

Percentage change in the cost using Coal-fired as a base is,

= (1,199 - 545)/1,199

= 0.5455

= 54.5%

54.5% is the percent change in the cost of electricity for a typical house resulting from a switch between conventional coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power.

Answer:

The percent change in the cost of electricity from coal-fired to hydroelectric power = 54.5% reduction.

Explanation:

a) The cost of coal-fired power       =   $0.11 per KWh

b) The cost of hydroelectric power = $0.05 per KWh

c) The reduction or savings = $0.06 ($0.11 - $0.05) per KWh

d) The % change is therefore = $0.06/$0.11 x 100 = 54.5%

e) The implication is that it will cost a typical house 54.5% less when it switches from coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power.  The house will be paying $0.06 less per KWh.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Which shop will benefit the most from its expansion?

  • B. Donny, because his workers currently have less available capital to work with

The law of marginal returns applies here, that is why Sunshine donuts didn't produce twice as many by using more machines

How much should Donny realistically expect his production to increase with the new equipment?

  • A. about 80 dozen

Similar to the additional production that Sunshine had in the past.

How much should Sunshine realistically expect her production to increase with the new equipment?

  • A. about 50 dozen

Maybe even a little more than 50 dozen, but definitely less than 80 or 100.

When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elastici
Simora [160]

Answer:

The cross elasticity of demand is zero

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.

If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be  negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.

If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity  of demand between them would be  positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.

Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.
