Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Because naturally within a market the equilibrium price is trying to be reached, (besides price ceilings and floors imposed by the government), Sellers will naturally push the price downwards because they must compete with each other to make a living. Thus answer C. is correct.
Federal Open Market Committee
"An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations", or "The Wealth of Nations", written by Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith. One of the first collected descriptions of what builds a nation's wealth. Written at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, it covers division of labour, productivity and free markets. Took 10 years to write with reference to 17 years of notes, based off of observations about economic and societal conditions. Offered more practical information for the time to replace mercantilist and physiocratic theories.
Answer and Explanation:
a)
If you charge $40 for X then everyone will buy as everyone is willing to pay atleast $40. this means all three groups buy that is 3*1000 buyers.So profit from X = 3000*40= $120,000
And since everyone is willing to willing to pay atleast $60 for Y again all three groups will buy so profit from Y =3000*60=$180,000
profits=$300,000
b)
If you charge $90 and $160 for X and Y respectively you will have only 1000 buyers for each product as others are unwilling to pay this much.
So profits = 1000*90 + 1000*160=$250,000
c)
for a bundle of X and Y buyers are willing to pay a total of $150, $210 and $200 across the three categories.
So everyone will buy a bundle of 1 X and 1 Y.
profits = 150*3000= $450,000
d)
If you charge $210 only the second will buy as they are willing to pay that much so profits =1000*210=$210,000
Also by selling X at $90 group 1 will buy X; profits=1000*90=$90,000
and by selling Y at $160 group 3 will buy Y; profits=1000*160=$160,000
total profits =$460,000
