Answer:

Interest groups are formed to promote the interests or concerns of their members. They are primarily concerned with influencing public policy. Because a key function is to exert pressure on political decision-makers, interest groups are sometimes referred to as 'pressure' or 'lobby' groups.

Assume that the market is perfectly competitive. If the cost function for John's Shoe Repair is �(�) = 100 + 10� − �) + 3 4 �4,

kirill [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

C(q) = 100+10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3

To find the firm marginal cost function:

Take the derivative with respect to q

MC = 10 - 2q + q^2

Assuming that the market price is p , then the profit maximising condition is:

MR = MC

p = 10 - 2q + q^2

The short-run supply curve is the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost.

The average variable cost is:

AVC =VC/Q

AVC = (10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3)/Q

AVC = 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2

So, the short-run supply curve is:

SRS = 10 - 2q + q^2 if p > 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2

The Terme Corporation is contemplating the purchase of new equipment, which may potentially increase revenues by 25%. Currently,

vekshin1

Answer:

The increase in gross profit is $12,374.93

Explanation:

The increase in sales due to purchasing this new equipment is 25% of current sales figure of $750,000

increase in sales=$750,000*25%=$187,500

variable cost on the increase in sales is 55%=$187500 *55%=$103,125

The annual depreciation charge on the new equipment=cost of the new equipment-salvage value/useful life

cost of the new equipment is $357,500.37

salvage value is $0

useful life of the new equipment is 5 years

annual depreciation charge=($357,500.37-$0)/5=$ 71,500.07

Increase/(decrease) in annual gross profit=$187,000-$103,125-$ 71,500.07 =$12,374.93

What economic activities are not included in GDP?

laiz [17]

1. Illegal and unreported economic activity: While goods such as illegal drugs, gambling, and prostitution are sold in markets, the transactions are hidden for obvious reasons.

2. Home production and bartered goods/services: If cash doesn't change hands, the transaction will not be included in GDP. One of the somewhat misleading aspects of GDP is that whether certain things are included depends not on the nature of the good or service, but whether it was (openly) exchanged for cash.
