Answer:
a) Q = 100M + 60C
b) L = 0
c) L = Q / 60
d) Cost = $66.67
Explanation:
a)
Let M be the self service machines and L be the cashiers hired by company.
M = self service machines
C = hired cashiers
Q = Total output
Each self service machine can process 100 orders per hour = 100M
Cashier can process 60 orders per hour = 60C
Then,
Q = 100M + 60C
b)
Marginal Product of self service machine = 100 / 20 = 5 order per dollar
Marginal Product of cashier = 60 / 10 = 6 order per dollar
Marginal Product of cashier is higher than Marginal Product of self service machine(6 > 5).
Then, demand for self service machine is zero.
L = 0
c)
L = Orders to be processed / Order processed per cashier
L = Q / 60
d)
L = Q / 60
L = 400 / 60 = 6.66666667
Cost = L x 10 = 6.66666667 x 10 = $66.67
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": predatory pricing.
Explanation:
Predatory pricing refers to companies setting prices below the average level in an attempt to wipe out competition. In the beginning, consumers may benefit from the low prices but after the competition has disappeared, the predatory company raises the prices, but, in this scenario, consumers do not have substitutes from where to choose. The predatory company became a monopoly.
Predatory pricing practices are forbidden by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the U.S.
