Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Derived demand is the demand for the factors of production that depend on the demand for the good that the factor produces. Since the demand for labor depends on the demand for goods and services that the labor produces, the demand for labor is a derived demand. For example, when the demand for product increases, the demand for labors also increases.

- Consider the “production” of food, which uses various types of inputs: “labor” (e.g., cooks); “capital” (e.g., restaurants and equipment); and “raw materials” (e.g., ingredients). Suppose that labor accounts for 50% of fast food costs while capital and raw materials account for 25% each. Briefly explain whether each of the following parts are true, false, or uncertain a. If raw material prices double (i.e., increase by 100%) while labor and capital prices are unchanged, then using the same mix of labor, capital, and raw materials will require a 25% increase in expenditures. b.

In the Modern Farmer, July 28, 2016, Dan Nosowitz, writes “There are many reasons to buy directly from farmers (at farmers markets or though CSAS)–higher quality produce, faster delivery times, supporting small farmers-but one that isn't too well-understood is this exchange's impact on the local economy. A new study from University at California Davis looked at the way buying directly from farmers affects the economy in the Sacramento, California, area . Buying directly from farmers has a disproportionately large impact on the local economy." This is an example of the at work in a local economy. RMERS MARKET OPEN TODAY 1 F.
