Explain why. 2.She continues her argument by concluding that if the demand goes up, the total value of sales of train tickets should therefore increase. Do you agree with her? Explain why.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing, but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish in a river next to the village, and they have determined that when there are more of them out there on the river fishing, they each catch less fish per month according to the following schedule: Boats Fish Caught per Boat (pounds) 200 190 175 155 130 If each fisherman acts in his own best interest, his average cost is the same as $ continue operating his boat as long as his .

A dry cleaner in California encountered controversy for charging more to dry clean women’s shirts than men’s shirts. As an unhappy female customer noted, “They charged me $1.50 for each of my husband’s shirts, and he wears an extra large. They charged $3.50 for each of mine, and I wear a small.” The store owner explained that the difference stemmed from the need to hand iron her shirts because his automatic presser was not made to handle small-sized women’s garments. Was this dry cleaner practicing price discrimination?
The main requirement for becoming a registered nurse is passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses.
