OXAGON is an industrial city that will be built in NEOM. One of the factories interested to join there has been producing a dependable product used by farmers, municipalities, and suburbanites alike to coardl grass in fields and gardens. Contributions to NEOM revenue have been minimized by international dumping of generic glyphosate, as announced in mid-2021 due to Pandemic of COVID-19. The factory sales price was decreased from $4,072 to $60,308 per gallon to compete with the highly competitive pricing, and it is expected that the international price will be around $6,968 per gallon. Assume when the price was set at $4,072 per gallon, there was a prediction that in 5 years the price would inflate to $9,853 per gallon. Determine the interest adjusted rate for inflation, if the inflation is 11% and the interest is 3% per year real return is expected by the factory.

Q2-11 Which of the following situations would represent a "small-country" case in the analysis of the elasticities approach to devaluation? Select one: a. demand for exports curve has normal downward slope, supply of imports curve is horizontal b. supply curve of imports has normal upward slope, demand curve for exports is horizontal c. supply curve of imports is horizontal, demand curve for exports is vertical d. demand curve for exports is horizontal, supply curve of imports is vertical
After extensive surveys, the research department of a company has determined that the supply and demand equations for a certain product are s(p) = 700p – 27300 and d(p) = 28000/p, where p is %3D the price in dollars. Find the equilibrium point. (If your answer is $500, then write only 500, without $.)
A few hundred U.S. sugar makers lobby the U.S. government each year to make sure that the government taxes imported sugar at a high rate. They do so because the policy drives up the domestic price of sugar and increases their profits. It is estimated that the policy benefits U.S. sugar producers by about. $1 billion per year while costing U.S. consumers upwards of $2 billion per year. Which of the following concepts apply to the U.S. sugar tax? a. Political corruption. b. Rent-seeking behavior. c. The collective-action problem. d. The special-interest effect.
The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) named in honor of the late President, is responsible for the design, development, and operation of human space flight is a leading science and space exploration learning center. The center features more than 400 space artifacts, permanent and traveling exhibits, exhibits and experiences and theaters related to the exciting future and remarkable past of America’s human space-flight program – all for one admission price. The experience is designed to engage adults and children alike. There is always something new at Space Center Houston with an amazing array of traveling exhibits and astounding events. Space Center Houston has the world’s largest collection of moon rocks and lunar samples for public view. Known around the world as the home of NASA Mission Control, International Space Station Mission Control and astronaut training, guests are taken behind the scenes to see NASA Johnson Space Center.

The price of bauxite increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, bauxite has traded at between 1500 and 1600 USD per tonne. But the price increased to over 1900 USD in November 2020. Growing demand in Canada for bauxite to be turned into aluminium, coupled with a sharp fall in Jamaican production have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Jamaica for 2017-18 fell 65% year-on-year due to flood conditions causing damages as well as increased competition. The London Metal Exchange predicts that global consumption of bauxite is likely to be greater than production by 20 million tonnes next year. In the US, companies in the steel and petrol industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of bauxite. Commentators predict that most steel and petrol producers will be unaffected because bauxite is such a small part of their spending. Illustrate the predictions…
The demand and supply functions for a product are: O, = 50 - 3P and O, =-6+4P, respectively B (i) Graph each function on the same diagram. From the graph determine the equilibrium price and quantity. Confirm your answer algebraícally. (ii) If the producer must pay a fixed tax of £3.5 per unit, rewrite the equation of the supply function to include tax. Graph the supply function and hence determine the equilibrium point when tax is included. What percentage of the tax is paid by the consumer? Give an interpretation for your results.
Rubber for erasers is produced in the market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of eraser rubber that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. With that said, the government realizes that it is not turning out enough revenue from the market. As a result, it places a per-unit sales tax of $10. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q**, PD**, and PS**) of the sales tax. Please label the graph for slopes, equilibrium points, sales tax, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government once again realizes that the previous tax was not sufficient, and the government is still not making enough money. So, it increases the sales from $10 to $20. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point (Q**, PD**, and PS**) with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
An estimate of the demand function for household furniture produced the following results: F = 0.0036 Y¹.08 R0.16 p(-0.48) where F = furniture expenditures per household Y = disposable personal income per household R = value of private residential construction per household P = ratio of the furniture price index to the consumer price index The point price elasticity for household furniture is r² = 0.996 and the income elasticity is According to the estimated model, a 10 percent increase in the value of private residential construction per household demanded by percent. the quantity
Cloud Cafe is considering the sale of promotional mugs. It can have the mugs produced by one of two suppliers. Supplier A will charge them a setup fee of Php13000 plus Php40 for each mug; Supplier B has no setup fee and will charge Php60 per mug. The company estimates its demand for mugs to be given by Q=32000-400P, where P is the price in Philippine peso and Q is the number of mugs (hint: the price equation is P=80-0.0025Q). In order to make sound decisions, the company's management asked the assistance of their student trainees from FEU in assessing the cost and revenue implications of the promotional campaign. 1. If the company wants to give the mugs away for free, how many mugs should it order? 2. What is the company's marginal cost if Supplier A is chosen? 3. What is the company's marginal cost if supplier B is chosen? 4. If the company seeks to maximize profit from selling mugs and Supplier A is chosen, how many mugs should the company order? 5. If the company seeks to maximize…
In 2020, the International Monetary Fund prescribed a carbon tax as the best way for governments around the world to meet their carbon emissions targets. A carbon tax is an economywide tax levied per tonne of carbon emitted by firms as a by-product of their production. Such a tax will likely increase business costs in the short run, especially for those firms whose production processes emit significant amounts of carbon. In the longer term, however, it is hoped that the tax will provide incentives for firms to invest in alternative production techniques that emit less carbon. Using the AD-AS framework, explain how the imposition of such a tax might impact inflation, economic activity and employment in the short run and the long run. Can you please please please show it in a graph the AD-AS framework its very important. Please have a through look and answer it.
