Answer:
Question requires that you find five sentence fragments, one dangling modifier, one passive-voice sentence, and one parallelism fault.
Sentence Fragment
A sentence fragment is so because it is either missing a subject, or a verb, and/ or a complete thought. It is therefore an incomplete sentence.
- 5. Although no clear line separates fun from profit or a hobby from a business.
- 12. If you spend eight or more hours a day trading on eBay.
- 17. If you spend $5 for a garage sale vase and sell it for $50.
- 18. The IRS would probably consider this a business transaction.
- 20. Even for eBay sellers who are just playing around. (not a proper sentence)
Dangling Modifier
Attempts to modify an unclear word in the sentence
- 19. All profits are taxable.
It is unclear what profits the sentence alludes to.
Passive-voice sentence
In Passive voice, the subject of the text is the one that is being acted upon.
- 13. The IRS would tend to think you are in a business.
Parallelism Fault
This occurs when the sentence is not grammatically parallel. In other words the sentence does not follow as it is not using the same structure.
- 3. As you are probably already aware, you can use eBay or one of the other sellers to clean out your closets or to run a small business.

Answer:
C) the firm is experiencing a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution.
Explanation:
Isoquant reflects factor combinations which give producer same output level. It is analogous to consumer's indifference curve, reflecting goods combinations giving same satisfaction level.
- It is downward sloping as same quantity of a good can be produced by - one factor increase, other factor decrease & one factor decrease, other factor increase.
- It is also concave i.e inwards bending towards origin, because of fallings slope. It implies that marginal rate of technical substitution (fall in one factor , replaced by gain in other factor) with same level of output i.e same isoquant - keeps on falling.
This concept is highlighted in the given statement : If a firm hires one worker and eliminates four units of capital, and hires one more worker and replaces three more units of capital, keeping output constant.
Answer: If there is a major technological advance in the production of a good that causes production costs to fall and the demand for the product is relatively inelastic: As production costs fall, it will cause an increase in supply, therefore the price will fall, but demand as it is inelastic will not increase in the same amount as the price rises.
Answer:
The optimal production batch size for the supplier is 980 units.
Explanation:
In order to calcuate the optimal production batch size for the supplier we have to use the following formula:
optimal production batch size=
(<u>2×Annual Demand×setup cost)</u>
Holding Cost
optimal production batch size=
(<u>2×(1,000×12)×($250×4)</u>
($100×25%)
optimal production batch size=
(<u>2×12,000×$1,000)</u>
$25
optimal production batch size= 980 units
