Answer:

a. downward sloping

b. decrease

c. decrease

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a type of imperfect competition:

 Companies do not have the monopoly market power but they do have some market power.

Behavior :

As in the other models already analyzed, these companies seek to maximize their profit, which will lead them to set their level of activity at the cut-off point of the marginal revenue and marginal cost curve.

Once this level of activity has been determined, the price will be determined by the demand curve.

Therefore, in a monopolistic competition market, the company produces in the descending section of its average total cost curve, while in competitive markets it produces at the minimum point of its average total cost curve.

Monopolistically competitive companies produce below the efficient scale. This lower activity means that, unlike the perfectly competitive market, the total profit is not maximized.

Adam Smith found that having employees focus on one task instead of many was more successful than having them learn a number of
Lunna [17]

Answer:

specialization

Explanation:

In order for labor specialization (or division of labor) to be successful, first the productive activities must be separated into smaller tasks, and then each worker will be responsible for performing just one task. That way the worker can specialize in performing that one task, and his/her efficiency should increase.

Labor specialization was the basic idea behind Henry Ford's moving assembly line. Each specialized worker was responsible for one manufacturing task and that decreased total production time and cost. The same concept applies today and the results are still the same.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: 5 cups of tea

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is what an individual, firm or government forgoes in order to get something else. For example, an individual might have $2. A pen costs $2 likewise a notebook. If the person decides to buy the pen, the opportunity cost is the notebook which he or she did not buy.

With the money Sarah has, spending her entire budget will give her 40 cups of tea or 8 snacks. This implies that for 1 snack, the opportunity cost is (40/8) = 5 cups of tea
