- A manufacturer produces two models of television stands. The table at the left shows the times (in hours) required for assembling, staining, and packaging the two models. The total times available for assembling, staining, and packaging are 3750 hours, 8950 hours, and 2650 hours, respectively. The profits per unit are $30 for model I and $40 for model II. What is the optimal inventory level for each model? What is the optimal profit?arrow_forwardSuppose an economy consists of the Coal, Electric, and Steel sectors. Denote the prices (that is, dollar values) of the total annual outputs of the Coal, Electric, and Steel sectors by PC, PE, and på, respectively. Suppose the general solution to find equilibrium prices that make each sector's income match its expenditures is pc = 0.9Ps, PE = 0.94ps, and på is free. One set of equilibrium prices for this economy is pc = $90, P₁ = $94, and på = $100. Find another set. Suppose the same economy used Japanese yen instead of dollars to measure the values of the various sector's output. Would this change the problem in any way? Discuss. If ps = $200, then pc = $ 249 and PE = $ 252. (Type integers or decimals.)arrow_forwardSuppose an economy consists of the Coal, Electric, and Steel sectors. Denote the prices (that is, dollar values) of the total annual outputs of the Coal, Electric, and Steel sectors by PC, PE, and ps, respectively. Suppose the general solution to find equilibrium prices that make each sector's income match its expenditures is pc = 0.83ps, P = 0.84ps, and Ps is free. One set of equilibrium prices for this economy is pc = $83, PE = $84, and ps = $100. Find another set.

- Number 10  writing paper Pleasearrow_forwardA monopoly faces the following demand: There are 10 potential buyers, each buyer will buy at most one unit of the good. 2 buyers will buy if the price is not higher than $20, 3 buyers will buy if the price is not higher than $15, and the remaining 5 buyers will buy if the price is not higher than $9. The monopoly has a fixed cost ofF = $30, and a constant marginal cost of $5. The monopoly s profit maximizing price is and the deadweight loss is O $9, $0 O $15, $25 O $20, $20 O $15, $20 O Cannot be computed from the data.arrow_forwardSuppose that a city government introduces a $0.50 excise (commodity) tax on consumers of bottles of soda to improve the health of its citizens. Manipulate the accompanying graph to demonstrate the impact of the tax on the market for soda What would be the new equilibrium quantity if instead of taxing consumers, the city taxed producers? 2 0 thousand bottles Price (S/bottle) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 Market for Bottles of Soda D 0.5 0.0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Quantity (thousands of bottles) earrow_forward
- D. has no effect on either its demand or its supply. QUESTION 5 Suppose the equilibrium price for soft drinks is $1.00. If the current price in the soft drink market is $1.25 each, O A. there willl be a surplus of soft drinks. B. there will be a shortage of soft drinks. O C. the supply curve of soft drinks will shift leftward. D. the demand curve for soft drinks will shift leftward QUESTION 6 If the price of product X falls and this change increases the demand for product Y, then O A.X and Y are complements B. X and Yare substitutes. OC.Xis an inferior good. OD. Y is an inferior good.arrow_forwardThe nation of Cologne is “large,” but unable to affect world prices. It imports chocolate at the price of $20 per box. The demand curve is: D=700-10P. The supply curve is : S=200+5P. Determine the free trade equilibrium. Then calculate and graph the following effects on an import quota that limits imports to 50 boxes: The increase in the domestic price. The quota rents. The consumption distortion loss. The production distortion loss. If tariffs are already in place as a trade policy, why might a country choose to apply also nontariff barriers as another way to control the amount of trade that they conduct with other countries? Suppose workers involved in manufacturing are paid less than all other workers in the economy. What would be the effect on the real income distribution within the economy if there were a substantial tariff levied on manufactured goods?arrow_forward
