Answer:
Increasing the promotional budget for a product in order to increase awareness is not advisable in the short run under which of the following circumstances?
Production capacity is maxed out (200% plant utilization) and the company is stocking out of the product.
Explanation:
Since the production capacity has been exceeded and the company is still running out of stock of the product, there will be no need to increase the promotional budget for the product in order to increase awareness, especially in the short-run. The implication of the scenario is that the demand for the product is far outstripping the supply and there is an apparent scarcity or shortage of the entity's product in the marketplace. Until production the capacity has been expanded, the promotional budget for product awareness can be stopped and saved.
Answer:
Play miniature golf instead of renting the movie.
Explanation: Marginal utility is the added satisfaction derived from spending an extra unit of money.
Now we can see that the consumer values time at $12 per hour, and they'll spend a total of $24 on watching the DVD because this will take 2 hours, the consumer will also spend just $12 on miniature golf because this takes just one hour.
Now factoring the costs of the DVD and the miniature golf into the equation, we have:
Total cost of renting and watching the DVD:
$4 + $24 = $28
Total cost of playing miniature golf:
$13 + $12 = $25
We can see that the consumer will spend less in playing miniature, while getting the same marginal utility with the other option.
Answer:
Reduction in Tax Needed = $ 13.33
Explanation:
Tax Multiplier shows magnitude of change (decrease) in income due to tax change (rise) .
Tax Multiplier = ΔY / ΔT = - MPC / (1- MPC)
Given : Change in Income needed [ΔY] = 40
MPC = 0.75
Putting in formula ;
40 / ΔT = - 0.75 / (1- 0.75)
40 / ΔT = - 0.75 / 0.25
40 / ΔT = - 3
ΔT = - 40/ 3
ΔT = - 13.33
