Monopolists do not prefer to produce in the when the demand for a good produced by them is inelastic. Option B is the correct answer.

It is common to observe that monopolists, avoid engaging production when the demand for their product becomes inelastic.
In order to understand this situation, it is important to address the meaning of inelastic demand.
The term 'inelastic demand' refers to a situation where the demand for a product does not increase/decrease (change) when there is an increase/decrease (change) in its price.
This does not lead to profits for a monopolist.
It is because, a firm will be able to secure profits by producing lower amounts of goods for a higher price when the demand is elastic.
Hence, when the demand is inelastic, the increase in the quantity will be sold at the previous standard price, leading to a fall in terms of the total revenue.

Therefore, it is clear that a monopolist will not produce when the demand for a good is inelastic.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

If there is an increase in the income of the consumer then as a result there is a parallel shift in the budget line. This increase in income will increase the real purchasing power of the consumers and hence, this would increase the quantity of two goods consumed in an equal proportion.

Other factors remains the same, an increase in the income level of the consumer will increase the consumption of both the goods because the prices of both the goods are constant.

Using the data set below, what would be the forecast for period 5 using the exponential smoothing method? Assume the forecast fo

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, and the closest to that was option C.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate forecast using Exponential smoothing:

$F_{t} = F_{t-1} + \alpha ( A_{t-1} - F_{t-1} )$

Where,

$F_{t}$ = New Forecast
$F_{t-1}$ = Previous period's forecast.
$\alpha$ = Smoothing Constant
$A_{t-1}$ = Previous period's Actual Demand.

Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

$F_{5} = ?$
$F_{t-1} = 14000$
$\alpha = 0.4$
$A_{t-1} = 14750$

Putting values in the formula:

$F_{5} =$ $14000 + 0.4(14750-14000)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)$

$F_{5} = 14000 + 296$

$F_{5} = 14296$

assume that autonomous consumption is $1610 billion and disposable income is $11,200 billion. Using the consumption function, ca

Viefleur [7K]

Answer: $9,226

Explanation;

The consumption function is;

Consumption = Autonomous consumption + (Marginal Propensity to consume * Disposable income)

Marginal Propensity to Consume;

=Increase in consumption expenditure/ Increase in Disposable income

= 680/1,000

= 0.68

Consumption = Autonomous consumption + (Marginal Propensity to consume * Disposable income)

= 1,610 + ( 0.68 * 11,200)

= $9,226
