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

Suppose monetary neutrality holds and velocity is constant. A 5 percent increase in the money supply increases the price level b
Alex73 [517]

Answer:  Increases the price level by 5 percent

Explanation:

Monetary Neutrality is a theory in Economics that posits that when there is a change in money supply in an economy, the only variables affected are the nominal ones like price level and wages and Real variables like GDP and employment are not affected.

It holds that when there is an increase in money supply, there is an equivalent increase in Price level as well because the value of money has fallen by the rate of the monetary increase. The Price level rising at the same rate is to compensate.

A 5 percent increase in the money supply will therefore increase the price level by 5 percent.

Suppose there is a policy debate regarding the United States’ imposing trade restrictions on imported tires.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

A. National-security argument

Explanation:

The National-security argument is also known as the National-defense argument. The argument proposes the imposition of high tariffs on locally manufactured goods so that the country would not be dependent on other countries for those goods in the event of war. For example, if a country is dependent on other counties for the production of food, then it would be in great danger in the advent of war. Tires that are also used to prepare weapons should be sourced within a country so that in the advent of war, the country would not be dependent on others.

This is the argument employed by the congresswoman who sought the imposition of a tariff on tires so that the United States would not be dependent on other foreign countries during a war.
