Which points is the opportunity cost per thousand automobiles highest? Between which points is the opportunity cost per thousand tons of beef highest? b. Label a point F inside the curve. Why is this an inefficient point? Label a point G outside the curve. Why is this point unattainable? Why are points A through E all efficient points? c. Does this production possibilities curve reflect the law of increasing opportunity costs? Explain. d. What assumptions could be changed to shift the production.
Appendix 1 that the price and quantity variables in our model are subject to the ceteris paribus assumption. If we relax this assumption and allow other variables held constant to change, a variety of factors can influence the position of the demand curve. Because these factors are not the price of the good itself, these variables are called nonprice determinants, or simply, demand shifters. The major nonprice determinants include (1) the number of buyers; (2) tastes and preferences; (3) income;.

Elastic. b. Price rises, and demand is elastic. c. Price falls, and demand is unitary elastic. d. Price rises, and demand is unitary elastic. e. Price falls, and demand is inelastic. f.

What does this tell you about the price elasticity of demand? What will happen to total revenue as a result of the price increase? Charles loves Mello Yello and will.
Which the quantity can change during the period of time under consideration. For example, managers can hire fewer or more workers during a given year. They can also change the amount of materials and electricity used in production. Now we can link the concepts of fixed and variable inputs to the short run and the long run. The short run is a period of time so short that there is at least one fixed input. For example, the short run is a period of time during which a firm can increase output by.
