Answer: Reduce output

Explanation: Profit = Total Revenue – Total Costs

Therefore, profit maximization occurs therefore, profit maximization occurs at the most significant gap or the biggest difference between the total revenue and the total cost.

TC = AC×Q = $4×500 = $2,000

Theoretically, profit maximization occurs where MR = MC

From the forgoing, producing an extra unit will increase the cost of the company thereby reducing profit.

The company should reduced output to around 499 units or less

Name one factor that could increase the supply of saving and one that could increase the demand for saving. Discuss the effects
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Factor that increases the supply of saving: High rate of return

Factor that increase the demand for saving: Confidence in return of business in the future, low rate of interest

Explanation:

Interest rates impacts the rate at which borroweres lend money which in turn determines the influx of savers (lenders). For example, if a business owner lacks the funds to raise capital for business (investment), the next route is usually to borrow money. Money is only borrowed when there is confidence in the business as most times, loans are repaid in the future. Also, if the interest rates are low, it's easier to pay back the loan but if the interest rates are high, this could affect the loan payback in due time (especially if the returns on the investment made or the profits made for the business is not enough to pay back the interest). This factor affects the demand for savings.

The demand for saving ultimately affects the supply of savings because with low demand of borrowing and a high supply of savings leads to a low interest rate, and a low interest rates doesn't appeal investors to save more money. This is simply the law of demand that states demand decreases when the rate of return is high.  While the law of supply states that supply increases when the rate of return is high.

The effects of these factors on investment: rate of return changes the flow of influx of investors as one would only want to invest when the compund interest would be high irrespective of the permissible risk involved.

The confidence in an investment  would also affect the rate at which one would demand for savings (loans) towards that investment.

What is total revenue , average revenue and marginal revenue ?Explain relationship among these​
Basile [38]

Answer:

Total revenue is the total amount of income that a firm obtains from selling goods or services. Average revenue is the average amount of income that a firm obtains for each unit of product , and marginal revenue is the extra amount of revenue that the firm obtains from the sale of one additional unit of product.

These three types of revenues have several relationships, for example, if total revenue increases more than total quantity, it means that marginal revenue is high. Another relationship is between marginal revenue and average revenue: when average revenue decreases, marginal revenue increases and viceversa.

A landowner conveyed his land to his wife, son, and daughter "as joint tenants with right of survivorship." The daughter then co
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The daughter and the son, unless the son does not pay his debt, which result in the lender owning interest to the land.

In this case the land was owned by three tenants, and the actions of one tenant may affect only their interest on the land, not the interest of the other tenants. Therefore the brother is still owner of the land unless he doesn't pay and the lender takes possession of joint tenancy of the land with the sister (or daughter to the deceased parents).

When the daughter conveyed her interest to a friend she only severed her own interest in the land, not the other tenants'. Since the friend and the wife stated in their will that the daughter was to inherit their share in the land, when they died the daughter regained ownership of the land (at least 2/3 ownership of the land).

At the end, the daughter will own 2/3 of the land and the son (or lender if he doesn't pay) will own the other 1/3 of the land.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A bond’s (face value) is generally $1,000 and represents the amount borrowed from the bond’s first purchaser.

A bond issuer is said to be in (default) if it does not pay the interest or the principal in accordance with the terms of the indenture agreement or if it violates one or more of the issue’s restrictive covenants.

A bond contract feature that requires the issuer to retire a specified portion of the bond issue each year is called a (sinking fund provision).

A bond’s (call provision) gives the issuer the right to call, or redeem, a bond at specific times and under specific conditions.

The face value is the dollar value of a security, or a stock's original cost. Default means when the bond issuer doesn't agree with the stated terms of the bond.
