Answer:

a. $16.

Explanation:

the firm offer a price where marginal revenue = marginal cost

We have to solve at which quantity the price is $1.

There, the marginal revenue would match the marginal cost.

1 = 5 - 0.5q

q= (5 -1) /0.5 = 4/0.5 = 8

Now, we solve or the price at which quantity is zero:

p = 5 - 0.5(q) = 5 - 0 = 5

With that we can now solve for the consumer good as the area of the triangle above the marginal cost and below the demand function

(see attached graph)

8 x (5-1) / 2 = 16

If there is an unanticipated increase in aggregate demand, which of the following is most likely to occur?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A. an increase in the price level (inflation)

Explanation:

When there is an unanticipated increase in aggregate demand it usually result in the general increase in the price level of that good demanded (inflation). This is because when there is an unpredicted increase in demand for a good, the demand becomes higher than the supply for that good at that particular period. Because the supply is now less than the aggregate demand, the prices of the commodity is then increased to discourage demand. The increase in the price of the commodity (inflation) therefore is a direct result from the increase in the aggregate demand for that commodity.

In the perfectly competitive gadget industry there are 10 firms with identical costs given by C = 500 + 20q + q2, none of which
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The explanation is below

Explanation:

A.  Shutdown point is achieved when price equal AVC. when price lowers than the AVC, firm shutdown.

VC = q^2

AVC = q

So,

P = q is the shutdown point.

B.  For profit maximizing level of output,

P = MR = MC

500 = 20 + 2q

q = 240 units

So, profit maximization level of output = 240 units

C.  Firm level supply curve = MC curve above the shutdown point

Number of firms = 5

So,

Industry supply curve = 10*MC = 200+20Q

Industry supply curve = 200+20Q

It shows that MC curve above the shutdown point is supply curve.

A depreciable asset has an estimated 15 percent salvage value. At the end of its estimated useful life, the accumulated deprecia
8090 [49]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Depreciation is the uniform decrease in the value of an asset over a period until the salvage value is reached.

It is given by :

Annual depreciation expense = (cost of asset - salvage)÷ useful life of the asset

Therefore the accumulated depreciation would not equal the original cost of the asset at the end of its estimated useful life because the salvage value will be deducted from cost of asset under declining-Balance.

Sarah's house caught on fire. Through the prompt assistance of her neighbor Odessa, the fire was quickly extinguished. In gratit
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

To enforce this promise we need to analyse whether there has been any agreement or contract between Sarah and Odessa and whether the same can be enforced.

Explanation:

In Sarah's case, her offer to gratuitously pay the neighbor for assisting in the house fire is not an enforceable contract. When the neighbor rushed to help in the fire, the offer to pay $1,000 had not yet been extended. When Sarah did extend the offer to pay $1,000, there was no consideration exchanged between both parties. The consideration, putting out the fire, had already occurred without the offer or acceptance of a contract.

Consider an alternate scenario. Sarah's house was on fire, and she could not wait for the fire department. She ran to her neighbor's house, begged for help, and offered $1,000 in exchange for neighbor's assistance. After hearing Sarah's plea, the neighbor agrees to assist in extinguishing the fire. This constitutes a contract; an offer, consideration, and acceptance.
