Consider Kharkeez, a hypothetical country that produces only burgers. In 2019, a burger is priced at $2.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of burgers that can be bought with $500. Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a burger, and always round down to the nearest whole burger. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 burgers, the answer should be 1 burger. Year Price of a Burger Burgers Bought with $500 (Dollars) (Quantity) 2019 2.00 2020 Suppose the government of Kharkeez cannot raise sufficient tax revenue to pay its debts.

Can you confirm that I am correct with these positive and normative statements: Positive statement: When oil production slows in Texas, employment and tax revenues decline, and budget cuts at the state and local levels often follow. (Craymer has estimated that the state loses $85 million per year for every $1 decrease in oil prices.) Normative statement:If Russia agrees to production cuts and COVID-19 goes dormant in the hot summer months, as some experts expect, Texas’ coffers will have time to recover before lawmakers convene in 2021 to write a new budget. Or would this be a normative statement:Experts said Texas is better positioned to handle an oil price collapse today thanks to a diversified economy. The last collapse in oil prices, in 2014, also forced the industry to cut costs and otherwise become more efficient. But University of Texas at Austin energy resources professor Michael Webber said COVID-19 throws an unprecedented economic variable into the mix.
