Answer:

Apples and Banana

a) Profit maximizing prices:

i) For Apple = $100

ii) For Banana = $40

b) Profits equal revenue minus costs:

i) For Apple = $100Q - (20 + 10Q) = $60Q

ii) For Banana = $40 - (26.5 + 5Q) = $8.50Q

c) To maximize profit, the price to charge is $100 for Apples and $40 for Banana.

d) I would expect to earn a profit of  $68.50 for a set of apple and banana.

Explanation:

To maximize profit, Apple and Banana will be sold separately.

But, selling them together, the best profit maximizing prices will be $100 for Apples and $10 for Banana.

At this combined price, the banana still makes a contribution of $5 per unit towards offsetting the fixed cost of $26.50

Why have the fortunes of the English gentry degenerated?
kotykmax [81]
The fortunes of the English gentry degenerated primary due to the reformation of the voting law. Initially, only land-owning gentry has the right to vote and they used their right to control the laws governing land ownership. When the voting law was reformed, the power of the gentry diminished, enabling non-gentry individuals to own land and create factories.

Since, the English gentry get their fortunes from leases on their lands used for farming, they were very affected when the people working on their lands opted to go to the city and become factory workers. Thereby decreasing their rental income.

Land taxes also increased and because some portion of the English gentry's land became idle and unproductive, they were not able to pay the increasing land taxes; forcing them to sell and dispose of their land to meet their tax obligations.

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.2 percent indefinitely
mylen [45]

Answer:

$54.35

Explanation:

The computation of the price per share of the common stock is shown below:

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $3.23 + $3.23 × 4.2%

= $3.23 + 0.13566

= $3.37

And, the other items would remain the same

So, the price per share is

= $3.37 ÷ (10.4% - 4.2%)

= $3.37 ÷ 6.2%

= $54.35

True or False: A price ceiling below $25 per box is not a binding price ceiling in this market. True False Because it takes many
jeyben [28]

Answer:

1. False

2. Shortage; Larger

Explanation:

1. A binding price ceiling is one that prevents the market from reaching its equilibrium. In this market, the equilibrium price is $25 therefore anything below $25 will be binding. A price ceiling below $25 per box is a binding ceiling.

2<em>. Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a </em><em><u>shortage</u></em><em> that is </em><em><u>larger</u></em><em> in the long run than in the short run.</em>

In the long run, supply is more sensitive because farmers can decide to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether.

This means that a price ceiling in the long run will be less attractive to farmers so they might leave the market. If they do this then the shortage will be more as there are now less supplies in the market.

What is the similar about negative growth rate and zero growth rate?
kifflom [539]
The similarity of negative growth rate and zero growth rate is that there is no growth towards a positive output. For example, if the business is currently in either state, it is not earning. It may be very stagnant (for zero growth rate) or losing (for negative growth rate). Which either the case may be, it is not beneficial to the business owner.
