Amazon is the dominant firm in the online shopping service industry, which has a total market demand given by Q = 100 – 2 P. Ama

zon has competition from a fringe of four small firms that produce where their individual marginal costs equal the market price. The fringe firms each have total costs given by TCi = 10 Qi + Q 2 i. If Amazon’s total costs are given by TCA = 10 + 10 QA, what price should Amazon establish for online shopping service?

The price that Amazon has to establish for their online shopping should be $20.

<h3>How to solve for the price</h3>

We have the price function as

P = 10 + 2Qi

Make Qi subject

= Qi = 0.5P - 5

4 firms with identical features

This would give us  

Qs = 4Qi

Qs = 4(0.5P -5)

Qs = 2p - 20

Q = 100 - 2p

Qa = Q - Qs

(100 - 2P) - (2P -20)

Take like terms

100 - 2p - 2p + 20

100 - 4p + 20

Qa = 120 - 4p

Make p subject

p = 120 - Qa / 4

p = 30 - 0.25Qa

TRa = p*Qa

= (30 - 0.25Qa)Qa

= 30Qa - 0.25Qa²

MRa

=  30 - 0.5Qa

TCA = 10 + 10QA

=  ΔTCA / ΔQA

= 10

30 - 0.5QA = 10

Take like terms

30 - 10 = 0.5Qa

divide through by 0.5

20/0.5 = Qa

40 = Qa

Output produced =  40.

We have P as

30 - 0.25QA

P = 30 - 0.25( *40)

= 20

Hence the price that Amazon has to establish for the online shopping should be $20

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Export

True

False

True

Explanation:

Free trade is a form of trade policy where there are no restrictions to imports or exports of goods and services.

The price of meekers is $30 in Meekertown and $40 In the world. Because meeker's are cheaper in Meekertown, it means that Meekertown is efficient in the production of meekers. As a result, they would export meekers to the rest of the world. It would be cost efficient for the rest of the world to import from Meekertown.

Consumers in Meekertown are worse of because of the trade because the price of Meekers would rise.

Producers are better off because they would earn more profits from the sale of Meekers at the world price.

Free trade increases total surplus because of efficient production. If a country is inefficient in production, it would import . This would increase consumer surplus and if it is efficient in production, it would export increasing producer surplus.

I hope my answer helps you

andre [41]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Six sigma is a tool used by organizations to improve their processes and reduce defects, to improve quality of their products or services.

<u><em>It focuses on reducing variation in the business processes (from manufacturing, sales, delivery, to customer service), to reduce defects and increase the quality of goods and services</em></u><em>.</em> <em>It also generally improves organizational performance and increases profit.</em>

Six sigma does NOT focus on customers feedback to reduce variation and waste.
