Answer to Problem 1E
Hence, the price along the vertical axis and the quantity along the horizontal axis has been determined and the first two columns have been plotted.
Explanation of Solution
The graph is plotted by joining 3 points of price on Y-axis to the corresponding quantity sold on the X-axis.
To find the quantity sold when the price is a certain dollar, we can take the help of the line obtained by plotting 3 price point in the Y-axis to the corresponding quantity in the x-axis in the graph sheet, and join them to form a sloping straight line.
Once the new quantity is found for a particular price point from the above straight line, we can use this information to find the total revenue at that price.
(b)
The quantity sold when the price is $550.
Answer to Problem 1E
When the price is 550$, the quantity sold is 1100.
Explanation of Solution
From the above-plotted line on the graph, we find that the point when the price on Y-axis is 550$, the corresponding quantity sold on X-axis is 1100 numbers.
To find the quantity sold when the price is a certain dollar, we can take the help of the line obtained by plotting 3 price point in the Y-axis to the corresponding quantity in the x-axis in the graph sheet, and join them to form a sloping straight line.
Once the new quantity is found for a particular price point from the above straight line, we can use this information to find the total revenue at that price.
(c)
To plot a graph and to measure the quantity on the horizontal axis and to determine the total revenue on the vertical axis.
Answer to Problem 1E
The graph is plotted and the quantity sold at 550$ is 1100 numbers.
Explanation of Solution
Now in the graph drawn above, the quantity sold is taken on X-axis while the total revenue obtained for that numbers of corresponding quantity sold is taken on Y-AXIS.
Next, we plot the points of total quantity sold on the horizontal X-axis versus the total Revenue obtained by selling each number of that quantity on the vertical Y-Axis. We take such thee points where the quantity-sold and corresponding revenue interacts, and join them to form a straight line.
To find the quantity sold when the price is at a certain dollar, we can take the help of the line obtained by plotting 3 price point in the Y-axis to the corresponding quantity in the x-axis in the graph sheet, and join them to form a sloping straight line.
Once the new quantity is found for a particular price point from the above straight line, we can use this information to find the total revenue at that price.
(d)
The total revenue when the price is $550 and to determine if the total revenue will increase or decrease when the price is lowered.
Answer to Problem 1E
When the quantity sold is $ 550, the total revenue is $ 6,40,000.
Explanation of Solution
We already know the quantity sold at each price point. Conversely, we know the price too when a particular number of items is sold. In this problem, the total revenue is to be found when the price is 550$. Now the corresponding total revenue to 1100 numbers is found to be 6,40,000 on the Y-axis. As we can see from the graph, decrease in price will increase the revenue.
To find the quantity sold when the price is a certain dollar, we can take the help of the line obtained by plotting 3 price point in the Y-axis to the corresponding quantity in the x-axis in the graph sheet, and join them to form a sloping straight line.

In the introduction, there are four things to include:a) Clearly state your research topic follows by country’s background in terms of (population density; male/female ratio; and identify the problem leading up to the study of it, such as government spending and adult literacy rate. How does the US perform compared to other countries.b) State the research question that you wish to resolve: Does the US economic performance depend on its government spending on education and the literacy rate over the last 10 years. Define performance (Y) as the average income per capita, an indicator of the country’s economy growing over time. For example, an increase in government spending leads to higher literacy rates and subsequently higher productivity in the economy. Also, mention that you will use a sample size of 10 years of secondary data from the existing literature,…arrow_forwardTitle: Does the educational performance depend on its literacy rate and government spending over the last 10 years?

BY VIRGINIA POSTREL WOULD you rather have $1,000 for sure or a 90 percent chance of $5,000? A guaranteed $1,000 or a 75 percent chance of $4,000? In economic theory, questions like these have no right or wrong answers. Even if a gamble is mathematically more valuable a 75 percent chance of $4,000 has an expected value of $3,000, for instance someone may still prefer a sure thing. People have different tastes for risk, just as they have different tastes for ice cream or paint colors. The same is true for waiting: Would you rather have $400 now or $100 every year for 10 years? How about $3,400 this month or $3,800 next month? Different people will answer differently. Economists generally accept those differences without further explanation, while decision researchers tend to focus on average behavior.
