Answer:

The profit-maximizing monopolist will have a deadweight loss of is $1, 600

Explanation:

A monopolist produces at Marginal Rate =Marginal Cost

equating both concepts previously enlisted:

90-2Q=10

2Q=80

Q=40

P=90-40=50

Profit=(P-ATC)*Q

=(50-10)*40

=$1600

the profit is $1600

Answer:

d. $800

Explanation:

MR refers to the margin revenue that is equal to the marginal cost MC to maximize a company's profit (Monopoly condition), therefore:

P = 90 - Q

MR = MC = $10 = 90 - 2Q

solving the equation:

Q = 40

P = 50

The deadweight loss DL can be calculated using the formula:

DL = 0.5*Q*(P-MR) = 0.5*40*(50-10) = 800

Note: the deadweight loss can be calculated graphically, the yellow area in the image down below is known as the deadweight loss area and its value could be extracted from the graph.

forsale [732]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The new customer retention rate is

(a) the day above 3 days from order to delivery

= 3.5 - 3

= 0.5 days

And,

The reduction in customer retention rate is

= 0.5 ×  1%

= 0.5%

errors above three per month is

= 6 - 3  

= 3

The reduction in customer retention rate is

= 3 ×  1.5%

= 4.5%

So, the new customer retention rate is

= 60% - 0.5% - 4.5%

= 55%

(b) The total reduction in customer retention rate is

= 0.5 + 4.5

= 5.0%

The reduction in market share is

= 5% × 0.5

= 2.5%

Now

New market share is

= 21.4% - 2.5%

= 18.9%

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

c. it makes prices rise

Explanation:

Inflation describes a situation where there is a general increase in prices in the country. Inflation is directly linked to economic growth. A high growth rate results in high inflation.

Inflation causes prices to rise, reducing the purchasing power of money. A reduction in purchasing power means a unit of money will buy fewer items than it did previously. The government puts in measures to counter inflation to stabilize prices and prevent erosion of purchasing power.

Low inflation indicates slow economic growth, low employment, and a reduction in prices.
