Answer:

The answer is: the equilibrium quantity is larger than the socially optimal quantity.

Explanation:

In order for the equilibrium quantity and the socially optimal quantity to be equal, the government subsidy should have been equal to the positive externality created by the flu shots ($8).  Since the government subsidy is larger, $11, then the equilibrium quantity will be higher (more flu shots supplied because of high subsidy).

RSB [31]

Answer:

5341288

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Volume of the living quarters = 213 cubic feet

Now,

The dimensions of the US dollar bills are

width = 2.61 inches

Length = 6.14 inches

Thickness = 0.0043 inches

Thus,

Volume of a single dollar bill = 2.61 × 6.14 × 0.0043

= 0.06890922 cubic inches

Also,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 213 × 12³  

[ ∵ 1 ft = 12 inches  ; 1 ft³ = 12³ cubic inches]

Thus,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 368064 cubic inches.

Thus,

Number of dollar bills that can fit in there

= [ Volume of quarter in cubic inches ] ÷ Volume of a single dollar bill

= 368064 ÷ 0.06890922

= 5341288.15 ≈ 5341288

c. $16 and $9

d. $4 and $6

Answer:

$6 and $4  set of prices for apples and bananas, respectively, would be consistent with consumer equilibrium.

Given,

The marginal utility of the last unit of apples consumed = 12

The marginal utility of the last unit of bananas consumed = 8

Now ,

To find :

The market level for apples and bananas, respectively, will be compatible with the consumer's equilibrium:

= \frac{12}{3} = $6

= \frac{8}{2} = $4

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (c).

Explanation:

Solution

From the question sated above the answer is, Firms or organisation decrease inventory because the more we spend on inventory, the more we will need to spend on the other related inventory expenditures.

What do you feel would be a minimally acceptable rate of pay? (ex. $X.XX or $XX,XXX):_______.
Veronika [31]

Correct question: I do not know if this question is complete or not but if i understand you well enough, I'd say that the minimally acceptable rate of pay will be in accordance to what is obtainable in yur state or area. $X.XX represents pay per hour while $XX.XXX represents pay per year.

Answer:

I would say Negotiable to be on the safe side if you can't come up with a certain amount by yourself.

Explanation:

When you have to fill on an application and it gets to the rate of pay, you either be on the safer side and write Negotiable if you do not want to sell yourself short or be too pricey. But it is almost certain that the rate of pay applicable in your state or area is what you will be getting per hour.

I hope this helps.
