Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The monthly total revenue is $5,000.

The marginal cost of producing 19th, 20th and 21st unit is $200.

Laura will earn profit if the price is able to cover marginal cost.

Total revenue is the product of price and quantity.

Price of cake when Laura produces 19 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{19}

= $263.15

Price of cake when Laura produces 20 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{20}

= $250

Price of cake when Laura produces 21 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{19}

= $238.09

So we see that the price is able to cover marginal cost till 21st units, so Laura should produce more than 20 units and go on producing till price becomes equal to marginal cost.

Society suffers a deadweight loss in a pure-monopoly market because
nekit [7.7K]
A pure-monoply means that a company does not have to compete with other producers within the market. Since they aren't competing with a good or service, they aren't competing with each others customers either. When a company does not have to compete on price/customers they may end up being greedy and have market failure.

In many cases, it is reasonable to refer to the ________________ as the price.
Sladkaya [172]

Most time, it is reasonable to refer to the opportunity cost as the price because it entails the benefit of the foregone good or service.

<h3>What is an opportunity cost?</h3>

It refers to a value of what is rejected in order to perform the chosen alternative, that is, the value one have to give up to buy what you want in terms of other goods or services.

Therefore, it is sometimes reasonable to refer to the opportunity cost as the price because it entails the benefit of the foregone good or service.
