Answer:

1

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is the degree to which a change in price causes a change in quantity demanded, which can be calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by percentage change in price.

Therefore, PED for Jim's product = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

% change in QD = (8000 · 6000) / 8000 × 100 = 25%

% change in price = (200 · 250) / 200 × 100 = 25%

PED = 25% / 25% = 1

PED for Jim's product = 1.

Answer:

The demand for Jim’s product is elastic

Explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.

We proceed as follows;

The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is

e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]

Here, Q2 = 6000

Q1 = 8000

P2 = $250

P1 = $200

e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]

e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]

e = - 1.3

That means absolute value of e is 1.3.

So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.

What are​ price, output,​ profits, marginal​ revenues, and deadweight loss if the monopolist can price​ discriminate? ​(round al
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Complete question:

A   monopolist   is   deciding   how   to   allocate   output   between   two   geographically separated markets (East Coast and Midwest).  Demand and marginal revenue for the two markets are: P1 = 15 - Q1MR1 = 15 - 2Q1P2 = 25 - 2Q2MR2 = 25 - 4Q2. The monopolist’s total cost is C = 5 + 3(Q1 + Q2  ).  

What are price, output, profits, marginal revenues, and dead-weight loss

(i) if the monopolist can price discriminate?

(ii) if the law prohibits charging different prices in the two regions?

Solution:

Through price control, the monopolist selects quantity in each sector in such a manner that total income of each business is equivalent to total expense. The marginal cost is equivalent to three (the slope of the overall cost curve).

In the first market

15 - 2Q1 = 3, or Q1 = 6.

In the second market

25 - 4Q2 = 3, or Q2 = 5.5

Substituting into the respective demand equations, we find the following prices for the two markets : P1 = 15 - 6 = $9  and P2 = 25 - 2(5.5) = $14.

Noting that the total quantity produced is 11.5, then

π = ((6)(9) + (5.5)(14)) - (5 + (3)(11.5)) = $91.5.

The monopoly dead-weight loss in general is equal to  

DWL = (0.5)(QC - QM)(PM - PC ).

Here, DWL1 = (0.5)(12 - 6)(9 - 3) = $18  and                

         DWL2 = (0.5)(11 - 5.5)(14 - 3) = $30.25.

Therefore, the total dead-weight loss is $48.25.

Without pricing disparity, the monopoly holder would demand a single price for the whole sector. To optimize income, we find that the total revenue is equivalent to the total expense. Using demand calculations, we note that the complete market curve is kinked to Q = 5:  

P=25-2Q, if Q≤518.33-0.67Q, if Q5 .

This implies marginal revenue equations of MR=25-4Q, if Q≤518.33-1.33Q, if Q5

With marginal cost equal to 3, MR = 18.33 - 1.33Q is relevant here because the marginal   revenue   curve   “kinks”   when  P  =   $15.    

To   determine   the   profit-maximising quantity, equate marginal revenue and marginal cost: 18.33 - 1.33Q = 3, or Q = 11.5.

Substituting the profit-maximizing quantity into the demand equation to determine price :P = 18.33 - (0.67)(11.5) = $10.6.

With this price, Q1 = 4.3 and Q2 = 7.2.  

(Note that at these quantities MR1 = 6.3 and MR2 = -3.7).

Profit is(11.5)(10.6) - (5 + (3)(11.5)) = $83.2.

Dead-weight loss in the first market is DWL1 = (0.5)(10.6-3)(12-4.3) = $29.26.

Norton Corporation received cash from issuing 10-year $200,000 bonds at face value. Interest of $10,000 is paid annually to the
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Issuance of bonds is a cash inflow

Payment of interest is a cash outflow

Explanation:

The issue of the bond at $200,000 face value would be a cash inflow under the financing activities of the cash flow when issued since more cash was received from the bondholders.

However,the payment of bond interest of $10,000 yearly is a cash outflow under the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows,since Norton Corporation would be parting with the amount on yearly basis till the bonds are retired.
