Answer: c). decreases by $1.80

Explanation: Economic surplus is the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus. When the marginal benefit is less than marginal cost, producing one more unit will lower the economic surplus by and amount equal to the difference between marginal benefit and marginal cost.

Economic surplus = Marginal benefit - Marginal cost  = $80.00 - $81.80  = - $1.80

Therefore, economic surplus decreases by $1.80, which is option c.

That statement is false.

Often time, company's policy regarding refund is written in overly complicated manners so the company is protected from the potential legal attack by the consumers. So I guess this would make the informing effort became ineffective for the consumers.

Answer:

1. Operating plan.

2. Operating plan.

3. Financial plan.

4. Dividend policy.

5. B and C.

Explanation:

1. Operating plan: provides detailed implementation guidance for a firm's operations, as well as a forecast of the company's expected future free cash flows.

2. Operating plan: provides the inputs necessary for a risk management evaluation using sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, or simulations.

3. Financial plan: Is based on knowledge of the amount of funds necessary to compensate the firm's shareholders, and the mix of debt and equity capital used to finance the firm.

4. Dividend policy: sets forth specific targets for cash or share distributions to the firm's shareholders.

Capital structure: describes specific targets for the mix of debt and equity used to finance a firm.

Financial planning can be defined as the process of estimating the amount of capital required for the smooth operations of the business and determine how to achieve the firm's set goals and objectives.

Hence, the following statements are true about financial planning;

I. Once a firm's forecasted financial statements are prepared, the firm must determine how much capital it will need to support these plans.

II. Management must monitor operations after implementing a financial plan to detect deviations from the plan and adjust accordingly.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:D) increase output.

Explanation:

The marginal cost  for production and marginal revenue are measures that businesses  use in  determining  the amount of output and the price of  a product that will enable them to maximize profits.

When the marginal revenues  are greater than the marginal cost of production, then the firm is making profit per unit  and should increase its production so as to make  more output until profit is attained.  When Marginal Revenue are lower or less than the marginal cost of production, then the firm is making a loss per unit  and should decrease its production.

Here,  competitive firm is producing at an output where marginal revenue is $23 and marginal cost is $19, then to maximize profits the firm should <u>increase output .</u>

blagie [28]

Answer:C. full efficiency in this market could be achieved even without reallocating workers between the two markets.

Explanation:

The marginal product of labour is the additional value that will be gained from production from employment of additional labour. The Entrepreneur will be willing to employ additional labour if the wages is lower than the marginal productivity and efficiency will only be achieved at that point.

Moving the labour from to market will not achieved efficiency in either market, for the wage rate is higher than the marginal product of labour in both market.

Increasing wage rate will reduce the efficiency and there is need to increase efficiency by making the marginal product of labour to be higher than labour rate.
