Answer:

each firm simultaneously increased output above the Nash equilibrium level.

Explanation:

A French mathematician, Antoine Augustine Cournot developed the Cournot duopoly in his economic model “Researches into the mathematical principles of the theory of wealth”, of 1838.

Cournot duopoly also known as the Cournot competition, is an economic model where two (2) business firms having identical cost functions compete in a oligopolistic market of imperfect competition with homogeneous products.

Under the Cournot duopoly, the competing firms offer identical products and thus, choose an amount or quantity to produce independently and at the same time because they cannot collude.

Both firms in a Cournot duopoly would enjoy lower profits if each firm simultaneously increased output above the Nash equilibrium level.

Hence, the advantage of the Cournot duopoly is that, it inhibits competing firms from deviating unilaterally.

The cross-price elasticity of demand measures the a. percentage change in the quantity demanded of one good in one location divi
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

d. percentage change in the quantity demanded of one good divided by the percentage change in the price of another good.

Explanation:

Price-demand elasticity measures the demand sensitivity of a good when a change in the price of another good occurs. For example, what happens to the demand for bread when the price of butter varies? This depends on the cross elasticity of demand since these goods tend to be complementary.

 The price elasticity of cross demand between two goods is easily calculated by a formula where the numerator is the change in the quantity of a good and the denominator is the percentage change in the price of the complementary good.

If the calculation of elasticity is greater than 1, it means that the amount demanded for bread is sensitive (elastic) to the price of butter and tends to vary sharply. If the result is between 0 and 1, the demand is inelastic, that is, the amount of bread demanded will not change considerably when the price of butter varies. If the calculation is equal to 1, then the demand for bread varies perfectly with the price of butter.

Credit Cash Account                          $430,000

To record the payment of the payroll.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculation of the amounts omitted in lines (1), (3), (8), and (12):

Earnings:

1. At regular rate                      $365,500

2. At overtime rate                       64,500

3. Total earnings                        430,000

Deductions:

4. Social security tax      25,800

5. Medicare tax                6,450

6. Income tax withheld 109,700

7. Medical insurance     14,800

8. Union dues                 2,250

9. Total deductions                  159,000

10. Net amount paid                271,000

Accounts debited:

11. Factory Wages 227,900

12. Sales Salaries    116,100

13. Office Salaries  86,000

1. At regular rate = 3. Total earnings - 2. At overtime rate

= $430,000 - 64,500

= $365,500

3. Total earnings = 9. Total deductions + 10. Net amount paid

= $159,000  +  271,000

= $430,000

8. Union dues = 9. Total deductions - other deductions from 4 to 7.

= $159,000 - (25,800 + 6,450 + 109,700 + 14,800)

= $2,250

12. Sales Salaries = 3. Total earnings - 11. Factory Wages - 13. Office Salaries)

= (430,000 - 227,900  -  86,000)

= $116,100
