Answer:

49.5%.

Explanation:

% of salary towards social security tax = (19000/200,000)*100

                                                                = 9.5%

% of savings = 15%

Yearly mortgage payments = 4333.33*12

                                              = 52000

% of mortgage payments = (52000/200,000)*100

                                          = 26%

Replacement ratio = 100% - ( 9.5% + 15% + 26%)

                               = 49.5%

Therefore, You would expect Lori's wage replacement ratio to be 49.5% at retirement.

Prob(refrigerator purchase from A) and Prob(refrigerator from A life > 15 years) + .........Prob(refrigerator purchase from D) and Prob(refrigerator from D life >15 years)

(0.40x0.1)+(0.25x0.20)+(0.15x0.05)+(0.20x0.25) = 0.04+0.05+0.0075+0.05 = 0.1475  

b. Refrigerator last > 15 years given , Probability it is from B :

[ Prob (B Purchase) . Prob (life > 15, given from B) ] / Prob (Life > 15)

P (B/15) = [P(B).P(15/B)]  / [P15]          {Bayes Theorum}

= [(0.25)(0.20)] / 0.1475  = 0.05 / 0.1475

When new firms enter a monopolistically competitive​ market, the economic profits of existing firms A. will decrease because the
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a market structure where there is a large number of producers selling differentiated products. These firms are price makers. There is very low or no restriction on the entry and exit of new firms.  

Positive economic profits earned by the existing firms will attract potential firms to enter the market. When new firms enter, it increases the supply in the market.  

This causes the price and market share of existing firms to decline. As the individual demand curves of the existing firms shift to the left, their profits will increase as well.
