A. projection of increasing consumer spending B. projection of consumers increasing spending for C. projected consumer spending increase 37 D. consumer spending that is projected to increase E. increase in consumer spending that is projected for
Answer:
The correct answer is E:
Much of the hope for continued improvement of the economy lies in the increase in consumer spending that is projected for.
Explanation:
i. Much of the hope (this is the main Subject of the conversation)
ii. for continued improvement (this is the Prepositional phrase. It modifies the noun “hope”)
iii. of the economy (this is a Prepositional phrase – it modifies the noun “improvement”)
iv. lies in the projection (This is the main Verb – “lies”)
v. of increasing consumer spending this year. (This is the prepositional phrase. It modifies the noun “projection”)
At first glance, it would appear that the positive experience that is anticipated is the projection.
A projection (unqualified) in this case is an estimate of how a thing will be in the future.
Having stated this, we see that it is more logical to hope for a positive experience that will occur than to just hope. Hence the hope is really in the increase in consumer spending not in the projection as a separate word.
(E) therefore is the Correct option because in this option that in this option “that” modifies “increase”.

For example, the sticky-price theory asserts that the output prices of some goods and services adjust slowly to changes in the price level. Suppose firms announce the prices for their products in advance, based on an expected price level of 100 for the coming year. Many of the firms sell their goods through catalogs and face high costs of reprinting if they change prices. The actual price level turns out to be 90. Faced with high menu costs, the firms that rely on catalog sales choose not to adjust their prices. Sales from catalogs will _____________.
Answer:
fall
Explanation:
We know that when demand for goods and services are low, this can impact prices since there would be a fall in sales. This happened due to the fact that people would reduce their demand for the good given the increase in their price. From the question that we have here we have been told that the prices that were set by the catalogue when compared to the actual price level is on the high side.
given this explanation, the conclusion is that the sales from catalogues are going to fall

Explanation:
A firm has a demand function p=108-5q and the cost function c=-12q+q^2. find the price at which profit is maximum. find the maximum profit. also find the output for maximum cost.
Answer:
[tex](a)\ q=3.5[/tex]
[tex](b)\ t_{max} = 120.25[/tex]
(c) No maximum
Explanation:
Given
[tex]p = 108 - 5q[/tex]
[tex]c = -12q + q^2[/tex]
Solving (a): The price at maximum profit.
The profit (t) is calculated using the following function
[tex]t = p - c[/tex] --- price- cost
So, we have:
[tex]t = 108 - 5q - (-12q + q^2)[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]t = 108 - 5q +12q - q^2[/tex]
[tex]t = 108 +7q - q^2[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]t = - q^2 + 7q + 108[/tex] --- this is the profit function
A quadratic function is represented as:
[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]
The maximum is:
[tex]x = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
By comparison:
[tex]q = -\frac{7}{2*-1}[/tex]
[tex]q=3.5[/tex] ----- price at maximum profit
Solving (b): The maximum profit
The profit function is:
[tex]t = - q^2 + 7q + 108[/tex]
The maximum is:
[tex]t_{max} = -3.5^2 + 7 * 3.5 +108[/tex]
[tex]t_{max} = 120.25[/tex]
Solving (c): Maximum cost
We have:
[tex]c = -12q + q^2[/tex]
The maximum price of the above function is:
[tex]q = -\frac{-12}{2*1}[/tex] ---- from x = -b/2a
[tex]q = \frac{12}{2}[/tex]
[tex]q = 6[/tex]
So, the maximum cost is:
[tex]c_{max} = -12 * 6 + 6^2[/tex]
[tex]c_{max} = -36[/tex]
The cost function has no maximum; only minimum

. You have determined that Company A's shares have an intrinsic value of $20 per share but are trading at $22 per share, while Company B's shares are worth $25 per share but are trading at $22 per share. What would a rational investor (or an arbitrageur) do to take advantage of this price difference (no short-selling constraint and transaction fee)
Answer:
a rational investor would short company A's shares and long company B's shares.
Explanation:
Company A's shares are overvalued.
A share is overvalued when its intrinsic value is less than its price
Company B's shares are undervalued.
A share is undervalued when its intrinsic value is greater than its price
It is expected that the price of company's A's share would fall. Investors that are holding this company's share would lose.
On the other hand, it is expected the the price of company B's shares would rise. Investors holding this company's share would gain from the increase in price.
Thus, a rational investor would short short company A's shares and long company B's shares.
