a. m. to 5: 00 p. m.

The doctor's office has a "capacity" of sixteen patients a day if it is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The doctor's office has timing from 8:00 to 5:00 pm, it means it is open for 9 hours and doctor takes one hour lunch break, so doctor has 8 hours for patients.

And doctor's office allows thirty minutes for each appointment, it means in one hour doctor's office allow two patients.

Thus in 8 hours, it allows 8 x 2 = 16 patients.

an average

Explanation:

Total number of hours open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. = 9 hours

Number hours for lunch break = 1 hour

Time allowed for each appointment = 30 minutes = 0.5 hr

Total number of hours the doctor worked from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. can therefore be calculated as the total number of hours open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. minus the number of hours for lunch break. This can be stated mathematically as follows:

Total number of hours the doctor worked from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. = 9 – 1 = 8 hours

The average number of patients the doctor attended in a is equal to Total number of hours the doctor worked from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. divided by the time allowed for each appointment. This can be stated mathematically as follows:

Time allowed for each appointment = 8 ÷ 0.5

                                                                = 16

Therefore, the doctor's office has an average of sixteen patients a day if it is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

answer; o anticipate where news will happen;

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
