Answer:
Explanation:
What is given:
The price of a new fabricating machine - 60
The price of a one-year-old machine - 51
The real interest rate is 10% per year
Marginal product of fabricating machines 165-2K (K - desired number machines)
If calculate the depreciation, (60-51)/51 = 15%
a) Find user cost of capital
User cost of capital is the sum of interest rate and depreciation cost multiplied by the price of new machine
= 60*(0.10+0.15) = 15 units
b) Determine the number of machines that will allow Missing Link to maximize its profit
165-2K=15
2K = 150
K = 75 machines
c)
Suppose that Missing Link must pay a tax equal to 40% of its gross revenue. What is the optimal number of machines for the company?
165-2K = 15/(1-0.4)
165-2K=14/0.6
165-2K=25
2K=140
K=70 macines
Answer: "systematic review" .

Answer:
$3.389
Explanation:
Data provided as per the question below
Fixed cost = $300,000
Variable cost = $200,000
Total cost = $500,000
Units produced = 59,000
The computation of variable cost per unit is shown below:-
Variable cost per unit = Variable cost ÷ Units produced
= $200,000 ÷ 59,000
= $3.389
Therefore we applied the above formula.
Answer:
Willingness to pay
Revenue
Two
Elastic
Inelastic
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when a producer or a seller charges different prices for the same product usually in different markets.
In price discrimination, a seller attempts to remove or reduce consumer surplus by charging the consumer at his willingness to pay. For price discrimination to be effective, a seller must be able to estimate the willingness to pay of consumers.
Price discrimination is successful when a seller earns higher profits when she discriminates compared to when she didn't price discriminate.
Price discrimination exists in the airline industry. One of the ways price discrimination exists in the airline industry is through charging to check bags. Customers ( people who board airplanes) are distributed into two groups- those who won't pay to check bags and those who would pay to check bags.
It is assumed that those who would pay to check their bags have a price inelastic demand because they are indifferent to paying an extra amount for their luggage.
Inelastic demand is defined as when a small change in price has no effect on quantity demanded.
While it is assumed that those who won't pay to check their bags have an elastic demand because they are unwilling to pay extra to check their luggages.
Elastic demand is when a change in price has effect on quantity demanded.
