A firm has a marginal cost of $20 and charges a price of $40. the lerner index for this firm is 0.50.

<h3>What is Lerner index?</h3>

Lerner index, in economics is a measure of the market power of a firm. Formalized by the Russian-British economist Abba P. Lerner in 1934.

The Lerner index is expressed in the following formula:

Lerner index = P - MC/P

where P represents the price of the good set by the firm and MC represents the firm's marginal cost.

The index measures the percentage markup that a firm is able to charge over its marginal cost.

The index ranges from a low value of 0 to a high of 1.

The higher the value of the Lerner index, the more the firm is able to charge over its marginal cost, hence the greater its monopoly power.

NPV $167,675 $2,267

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Machine A Machine B

Cost of machine $565,000 $410,000

Incremental after-tax income 165,000 75,000

Salvage value 25,000 26,000

Estimated useful life 6 years 8 years

Required rate of return 10% 10%

Annuity factor 4.355 5.335

PV factor 0.564 0.467

PV of incremental after-tax income $718,575 $400,125

($165,000*4.355) ($75,000*5.335)

PV of salvage value $14,100 $12,142

Total PV of income $732,675 $412,267

NPV $167,675 $2,267

= Total PV of income minus PV of initial investment cost

Explain what is happening during each phase of the cycle with: I. output, II. employment III. and inflation

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

During each phase of the economic cycle of Recession and Expansion, the following economic variables fluctuate, accordingly:

I. Output: During Recession, production output reduces. But, during expansion, product output rises with rising income, employment, and even stable inflation.

II. Employment: During phases of economic Expansion, employment rises, while it contracts during the phases of Recession.

III. Inflation: Due to rising income and output during economic expansionary periods, inflation rate also rises. It reduces when the economy enters a recession.

Explanation:

Business or Economic Cycle describes the recurrent, but not periodic, sequence of changes in the aggregate economic activities of a nation. It usually cascades between the spectrum of expansion and recession. This means that there is an alternation of the phases of economic cycle between expansion and contraction (recession) when the aggregate economic activities may rise or decline due to the equal movement of economic variables like the GDP output, employment, income, and sales.
