Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Dell computer company is producing 5,000 computers per day.

At this output level, marginal cost is greater than the product price.

In order to maximize profits firm needs to reduce the output to the point where the marginal cost of production is equal to the per-unit price of the product.  

The marginal cost of production is the incremental cost of producing an additional unit of output. If the company reduces the quantity of output produced the marginal cost will reduce as well.

A lawn service company has the following production possibilities. With​ one, two,​ three, and four​ workers, the company can mo
Marianna [84]

Answer: Third

Explanation:

Diminishing returns to labor refers to the phenomenon where every additional worker leads to an increase in production at a decreasing rate.

Using the scenario described, when there was only one employee the company could mow 4 lawns a day. They added a 2nd worker and that figure went to 9 lawns a day which is an increase of FIVE.

When they added a 3rd worker, the figure again went up but only to 12 which is an increase of THREE only as opposed to the last increase of FIVE.

After the third worker therefore, there was an increase but at a smaller rate.

Market equilibrium is: Select one: a. the point at which a nation reaches full employment b. the time period used to determine t
fenix001 [56]

Answer:So far we have learned to measure real GDP, but how do we end up with that real GDP? Of all of the different amounts of national income and price levels that might exist, how do we gravitate toward the one that gets measured each year as real GDP?

In short, it is the interaction of the buyers and producers of all output that determines both the national income (real GDP) and the price level. In other words, the intersection of aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) determines the short-run equilibrium output and price level.

Once we have a short-run equilibrium output, we can then compare it to the full employment output to figure out where in the business cycle we are. If current real GDP is less than full employment output, an economy is in a recession. If current real GDP is higher than full employment output, an economy is experiencing a boom. If the current output is equal to the full employment output, then we say that the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Output isn’t too low, or too high. It’s just right.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1. <em>If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained. </em>

<em> </em>2<em>. If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John which will be $80,000</em>

<em />

Explanation:

In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.

<em>If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained. </em>

<em> </em>

In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.

<em>If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John</em>

this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to <em>$80,000</em>
