The decision to build the park or not would be based solely on the cost – benefit relationship of this project. Since there is no other factor considered in this problem, you only need to see if the benefit of constructing the park would exceed its cost. In this problem, the cost to construct the park is $20,000 while the marginal benefit would be $24,000 ($8,000 x 3 families that can benefit from this project). Therefore, you can say that the benefit has exceeded its cost. As a conclusion, the neighborhood park should be built because it benefits the families living in that area more than its cost.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Excess supply as well as excess demand in market A

Explanation:

Equilibrium price is the price of the market, where the quantity of the goods supplied will be equal to the quantity of the goods demanded by the customers. The equilibrium price is determined by the intersect of the demand and the supply curve.

When the equilibrium price is $24, but the current price is $21, so, at this price, there would be supply and the demand in excess for the customers of the goods exist in the market A.

Variable costs as a percentage of sales for Lemon Inc. are 80%, current sales are $600,000, and fixed costs are $130,000. How mu
Stels [109]

Answer:

$8000 (increased)      

Explanation:

Given:

Current sales = $600,000

Variable cost = 80% of Sales = $600,000 x 80% = $480,000

Fixed cost = $130,000

Computation of current Operating Income :

= Current sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

= $600,000 - $480,000 - $130,000

Net Income = -$10,000

Computation of Operating Income(After new sales) :

= New sales - New Variable cost - Fixed cost

= ($600,000 + $40,000) - 80% of ($600,000 + $40,000) - $130,000

= $640,000 - $512,000 - $130,000

Net income after new sales = - $2,000

Change in income = Net income after new sales - Net Income before new sales

= -$2,000 - (-$10,000)

= $8000 (increase)

The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions:
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The three scenarios describe a competitive market.

Explanation:

1) In the competitive market buyers and sellers are price takers, this means that there are many producers and consumers and none of them are able to intervene in price and market. Price is given, ie price is determined by interaction in the market. 2) The products are identical. That is, no company will make a profit due to differentiated products. In perfect competition, companies produce identical products, and the consumer is indifferent to the product characteristics of each company. 3) There is free entry and exit of companies and factors of production, ie there is no cost to enter and exit any sector. This means that factors can migrate from one sector to another without incurring costs, meaning there are no barriers to entry and exit from any sector.

Thus, from items 1 and 2, consumers and buyers are price takers, that is, they cannot influence the price determined by the market. Item 3 is about achieving zero profit or normal long-term profit. This is because the free entry and exit of companies avoids extraordinary profits by encouraging companies to migrate to sectors that earn higher profits in the short term. Thus, in perfect competition, compa
