Answer:

d. the firm will lose $750

Explanation:

marginal cost is the derivate of the cost function: It represent the cost of producting an additional unit

cost: 750 + 5q

dC/dQ = 5

We have determinate that marginal cost is $5 thus, we should price at the same value. The mistake from the goverment is to equalize marginal cost with price instead of marginal revenue.

This will make the firm loss the fixed component of the cost as will sale to pay up the variable cost.

The fixed cost is $750 so that is the loss from operations

Choose two occupations one that pays high wages and one that pays low wages. explain the reasons of the differences
KengaRu [80]

Choose two occupations one that pays high wages and one that pays low wages. explain the reasons of the differences

Two occupations that pay entirely different wage are a lawyer and a housekeeper. One of the major reasons that there is a difference in the pay, is the requirements to obtain the job are vastly different. A lawyer requires years of school, passing standardized tests and more just to be qualified to apply for the position. A housekeeper can gain experience while working on the job without certifications.
