Answer:
- <em>The slope of the demand curve at point A is </em><u><em> </em></u><u>- $0.40/unit</u>
- <em>The slope of the demand curve at point B is </em><u>- $0.14/unit</u>
Explanation:
See the file attached with the figure corresponding to this question.
<em>The slope of a curve</em> at a given point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.
<em><u>Point A:</u></em>
The tangent line to the <em>demand curve at point A is</em> drawn and passes through the points (20, 34) and (45, 24).Then, the slope is:
- slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (34 - 24) / (20 - 45) units
- slope = - $10 /25units = - $2/5units = - $0.40/unit.
The minus sign indicates the that price decreases when the quantity increases
<u><em>Point B:</em></u>
<em>The tangent line to the demand curve at point B</em> passes through the points (90, 12) and (140, 5).Then, the slope is:
- slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (12 - 5) / (90 - 140) units
- slope = - $7 /50units = - $7/50units = - $0.14/unit.
Again, the negative sign indicates that when the number of units increase the price decreases.
Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
The marginal benefit of another T-shirt is $15. The price of the T-shirt is $10.
The marginal cost is equal to the price, so it is also $10.
The marginal benefit earned from the T-shirt is greater than the marginal cost incurred on a T-shirt.
According to economic reasoning, it is profitable to buy another T-shirt. So, Mary will buy another T-shirt this month.
Answer:The answer is a
Explanation:
A contract is an agreement between two or more parties which contains the terms and conditions of the contract and which also serve as an evidence that the two parties in the contract has a duty to perform to each other. The terms and conditions of the contract can be enforced in the court of law in case of a breach of contract which may come from either parties in the contract agreement. While, a contract interference is a kind of breach of contract in which one vendor put a pressure on the organization in which they offer service to withdraw from the contract the organization earlier had with one of their competitors in the market. This contract interference can occur when a vendor either force or put a financial inducement on the organization with a view to make them consider their proposal to the organization to eventually agree to abandon the contract they had with their competitors in favour of getting the contract instead of their competitors who should get the contract.
Therefore, from what we can deduce from the question under review, it is clear that A plus linen has engage in contract interference by offering John C Lincoin hospital $5 for every 100 pound of linen they send to them by dropping their current linen service.
Answer:
a. downward sloping
b. decrease
c. decrease
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is a type of imperfect competition:
Companies do not have the monopoly market power but they do have some market power.
Behavior
:
As in the other models already analyzed, these companies seek to maximize their profit, which will lead them to set their level of activity at the cut-off point of the marginal revenue and marginal cost curve.
Once this level of activity has been determined, the price will be determined by the demand curve.
Therefore, in a monopolistic competition market, the company produces in the descending section of its average total cost curve, while in competitive markets it produces at the minimum point of its average total cost curve.
Monopolistically competitive companies produce below the efficient scale. This lower activity means that, unlike the perfectly competitive market, the total profit is not maximized.
The five economic activities are:
producing, exchanging, consuming, saving, and investing.
