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

Explain how a price system moves a market toward the quilibrium price
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

By setting the price of goods and services at a level where the suppliers and consumers feel comfortable, the quantity of goods and services supplied will be the same as the quantity of goods demanded.

Explanation:

A price system is a means of arranging economic activities by setting the standard prices of goods and services in that particular economy. In this way the agents of demand and supply can have an estimate of the price of various goods and services. In this way, a supplier who doesn't know the price of a goods or service that he/she plans to sell to a different country or region can use the price system to adjust their selling price effectively. On the same note, the consumers can also acquire goods and services that they have never demanded before by using the price system to determine the standard prices for those goods or services.  

Prices are a reflection of the consensus between suppliers and consumers about the value of goods and services. The equilibrium price can be defined as the price where the quantity of goods supplied equals the quantity demanded. By setting the price of goods and services at a level where the suppliers and consumers feel comfortable, the quantity of goods and services supplied will be the same as the quantity of goods demanded.
