Answer:
competitors will follow a price cut but ignore a price increase.
Explanation:
The Kinked demand curve model of oligoplolist is based on the assumption that competitors will follow price cut but ignore a price increase because of interdependence among firms price is rigid in oligopoly market. When a firm raises the price of its products none of its competitors will follow the same whereas in case firm reduces its price its competitors will follow the same.
Thus, it is prudent behaviour on the part of a firm not to change in the prices of its products frequently. It is because this reaction of rival firms, the demand curve face by an oligopoly firm has a kink. The kink is formed at prevailing price level.
The portion of demand curve above the kink is more elastic implying, when oligopolist increase the price of its product none of its competitors will follow it with expectation to capture the market demand created due rise in prices by first firm.
The lower portion of the kink is relatively inelastic showing that in case an oligopolist reduces its price its rival firms will also reduce their prices with a view to not to lose their market demand. Thus, it will not beneficial for the oligopolist in either of the situations. Therefore, it will stick to the prevailing price.
Answer: It will take Nico approximately 12 years
Explanation:
Payments = $40000
r = 12%
Future Value = 1000 000
Future Value annuity = Payments((1 + r)^n - 1)/r
1000000 = 40000((1 + 0.12)^n - 1)/0.12
40000((1.12)^n - 1) = 1000000 x 0.12
(1.12)^n -1 = 120000/40000
(1.12)^n = 3 + 1
nlog(1.12) = log(4)
n = log(1.12)/log(4) = 12.232510748
n ≈ 12 years
It will take Nico approximately 12 years
Government activity affects the economy in four ways: The government produces goods and services, including roads and national defense. Less than half of federal spending is devoted to the production of goods and services
Answer:
Net Income or Loss : a. 2019 = $53000 ; b. 2020 = $4000 loss ; c. 2021 = $43000
Explanation:
Assets - Liabilities = Capital (Closing/Opening)
458000 - 317000 = 141000 (2019 Closing Capital)
Profit = Closing Capital - Opening Capital + Drawings - Additional Capital
A. 2019 Opening Capital = 100000 (Given)
2019 Closing Capital = A - L = 458000 - 317000 = 141000
2019 Profit = CC - OC - D + AC = 141000 - 100000 + 12000 = 53000
B. 2020 opening capital = 2019 Closing Capital = 141000
2020 closing capital = A - L = 538000 - 367000 = 171000
2020 Profit = CC - OC + D - AC = 171000 - 141000 - 34000 = 4000 Loss
C. 2021 opening capital = 2020 closing capital = 171000
2021 closing capital = A - L = 668000 - 467000 = 201000
2021 Profit = CC - OC + D - AC = 201000 - 171000 + 25000 - 12000 = 43000
Answer:
Thus to maximize profit, Santora Company should manufacture Bread machine only.
The unit of Bread machine can be produced in 2,000 machine hours is 8,000 units
Explanation:
The profit for Toaster Ovens and Bread Machines is $10 and $90 respectively; thus
six toaster ovens per machine hour will generate profit of $60 = ($10 *6)
four bread machines per machine hour will generate profit of $360 = ($90 *4)
In the same machine hour the profit from Bread machines are significantly higher then Toaster over. Thus to maximize profit, Santora Company should manufacture Bread machine only.
The unit of Bread machine can be produced in 2,000 machine hours is 8,000 units (= 2,000 * 4)
The profit for 8,000 units of Bread machine is $720,000 = (8,000 * $90)
