Answer:

D) The Agency Problem

Explanation:

The agency problem refers to a conflict of interests between the principal and his/her agent. Agents have a fiduciary duty to act on the best interest of their principal, but sometimes agents place their own personal interest before the interests of their principal.

in this case, the brokers should act on behalf of their clients to make them earn the largest possible profits, but instead they focus on convincing them about transactions that increased the broker's profit and not the clients'.

mezya [45]

Answer:

About the Lagrangian method,

We can use it to solve both consumer's utility maximization and firm's cost minimization problems.

Explanation:

Lagrangian method is a mathematical strategy for finding the maxima and the minima of a function subject to equality constraints.  Equality constraints mean that one or more equations have to be satisfied exactly by the chosen values of the variables.  Named after the mathematician, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, the basic idea behind the Lagrangian method is to convert a constrained problem into a Lagrangian function.

The Besnier Company had $250 million of sales last year, and it had $75 million of fixed assets that were being operated at 80%
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$312.5 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Besnier Company's sales last year = $250 million

Fixed assets last year = $75 million

Previous operating capacity of fixed assets = 80%

Sales at full capacity:

= Previous sales ÷ Previous Capacity

= $250 million ÷ 80%

= $312.5 million

Therefore, if the company had operated at full capacity then the sales could have been $312.5 million.

A monopolist will find that its marginal revenue curve Grupo de opciones de respuesta Lies below its demand curve and has the sa
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Lies below its demand curve and is steeper than its demand curve.

Explanation:

The marginal revenue curve for a monopolist lies below the demand curve because of the quantity effect. The quantity effect refers to the fact that even a monopolist must lower its price if it wants to sell a larger quantity of goods or services.

The slope of the marginal revenue curve is steeper than the demand curve because it reflects the market power of the monopolist. Instead, the marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm (with 0 market power) is horizontal or perfectly elastic.
