sammy [17]

Answer:

INCREASE in Consumption of product Y

DECREASE in Consumption of product X

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that the already existing product (X) has a marginal utility of 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 while the new product (Y) has a marginal utility of 8 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $1 which means that PRODUCT Y marginal utility and price is lower than that of PRODUCT X marginal utility and price.

Therefore equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should INCREASE his consumption of product Y and DECREASE his consumption of product X reason been that product Y has a lower marginal utility of 8 utils and the price of the amounts of $1 which means that his consumption of Product Y has to be INCREASED while product X on the other has a higher marginal utility 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 which means that his Consumption of Product X has to DECREASED.

A firm sells a product in a purely competitive market. The marginal cost of the product at the current output of 200 units is $4
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

A firm sells a product in a purely competitive market.

The marginal cost of the product at the current output of 200 units is $4.00.

The average variable cost is $3.50.

The market price of the product is $3.00.

The market price is not covering the average variable cost. In this situation, the firm must be incurring losses. To minimize losses the firm should produce less than 1,000 units at the point where marginal cost is equal to market price and the average variable cost is being covered.
