A rule of thumb is used to determine if the monthly rent earned from a piece of investment property will exceed that property's monthly mortgage payment.

Using the rule of thumb pricing the profit-maximizing price of a monopoly firm is = P = MC/1+(1/Ed)

Ed is the elasticity of demand for a firm, not the market. So,

Ed = -3.P = $50/1+ (1/(-3)) = $50/(1-1/3)p = 50/(2/3 ) = $75 dollar.

Monopoly power (also known as market power) refers to the ability of a company to charge a price higher than its marginal cost. Monopoly power usually exists when demand is less elastic and barriers to entry are large.

There are three main sources of monopoly power: (1) price elasticity of demand (Ed), (2) number of companies in the market, and (3) interaction between companies. The price elasticity of demand is the most important determinant of market power for price rules: L = (P – MC) / P = -1 / Ed.

Suppose that commodity prices across the economy begin to fall and consumers and firms begin to expect a lower rate of future in
butalik [34]

Answer:

B) The SRAS curve will shift to the right, and the short‐run Phillips curve will shift downward.

Explanation:

When the price of key inputs decreases, then the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve shifts to the right, generally resulting in higher production levels (higher supply) due to lower production costs. On the other hand, when the price of key inputs increases, then the SRAS curve shifts to the left.

When inflation expectations decrease or SRAS curve shifts to the right, the short-run Phillips curve shifts to the left.

Suppose that when the price of a certain commodity is p dollars per unit, then x hundred units will be purchased by consumers, w
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Profit = TR- TC
= x (P) - C(x)
= x(-0.05x+38) - (0.02x^{2} + 3x + 574.77)
= -0.05x^{2} + 38x - 0.02x^{2} - 3x - 574.77
= -0.07x^{2} + 35x -574.77

This profit equation is an equation of a parabola that opens downward (Since A=-0.07<0) and has its vertex at

x= -\frac{B}{2A}  = -\frac{35}{2 (-0.07)}  = 250

Thus, revenue is maximized when x=250 hundred units. At this quantity maximum profit is

P(250)=3800.23 hundred dollars

b. Profits are maximised at x=250 hundred units. The per unit price at this is,

p= -0.05x + 38&#10;= -0.05 (250) + 38&#10;= $25.5

krek1111 [17]

Answer

The cost of the one pound of the box is $0.974.

Explanation:

As given

Willis Rusch recently purchased a 5-pound box of treats for his dog.

The total purchase price was $4.87 .

i.e

Cost of 5- pound box = $4.87

Thus

Price\ per\ pound = \frac{Total\ cost\ of\ 5\ pound\ box}{Total\ box}

Putting the values in the above

Price\ per\ pound = \frac{\$ 4.87}{5}

                                     = $ 0.974

Therefore the cost of the one pound of the bos is $0.974.
