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.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is D) The design of the study suffers from selection bias.

Explanation:

In research, Selection Bias occurs when the researcher decides who the respondents are or those who are being evaluated or studied.

Every research ought to be designed in such a way that the respondents are selected at random.

In the information provided, the respondents were selected from a group of people who on a balance of probability were already inclined to decline because it was a list of dissatisfied customers. The chances of them declining to respond or responding with a negative were higher than the chances of them indicating that they would buy and this defeats the purpose of the research. The research ought to have also included a sample of respondents who didn't have the product, who had enjoyed the services of the company and were content, those who didn't even know what the product did until they got the survey.

That way holistic information can be obtained from the research about how different sets of people will react and not just those who are already dissatisfied with the company's product(s).

Some of the ways to avoid selection bias in research are:

  • To employ the use of random techniques selecting sample sets from populations.
  • To check that the traits or characteristics of the larger population are well represented in the samples selected

Stones Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours to apply overhead to the manufacturing process. Las
likoan [24]

Answer: $5 per machine hour

Explanation:

Given the following :

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost = $550,000

Expected machine-hour to be incurred = 110,000

Actual manufacturing overhead = $575,000

Actual machine hour incurred = 120,000

The manufacturing overhead application rate:

Expected manufacturing overhead cost / Expected machine hour to be incurred

= $550,000 / 110,000 machine hour

= $5 per machine hour
