Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>B. demand for Apple computers decreases.</em>

Explanation:

If two things are substitute of each and other, that generally in simple words means either this or this. As we can see in the statements that has been provided in the question that Dell and Apple computers are substitute of each other, <em>so if the amount from Dell computer decreases then the demand of the computers made by Apple company will absolutely decrease. </em>

Because two devices which carries almost same qualities and features are also substitute of each other, i<em>f price of one device from the both substitutes will decrease, everyone will rush to buy the device with low price and the device with high price will get less popular among the consumers.</em> So, this is the reason which says OPTION(B) is the correct answer.

In January, Stitch, Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation. At adoption, inventory was valued at $50,0

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

B. $83,000

Explanation:

Inventory value at adoption = $50,000

Increase in inventory using base year price = $30,000

Current year Price increase = 10%

Increase price = $30,000 + ( $30,000 x 10% )

Increased price inventory = $30,000 + $3,000

Increased price inventory = $33,000

Amount of Inventory reported on balance = Inventory value at adoption + Increase price Inventory

Amount of Inventory to be reported on balance = $50,000 + $33,000

Amount of Inventory to be reported on balance = $83,000
