If the number of firms in a monopolistically competitive industry increases and the degree of product differentiation diminishes
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

C) the industry would more closely approximate pure competition

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive industry is one with different firms selling similar products that are slightly differentiated. It is very easy for firms to enter into industries that are monopolistically competitive. They also have the autonomy to increase their prices.

If the number of firms in a monopolistically competitive industry increases and the degree of product differentiation diminishes they would then resemble a pure competition because they would all be selling identical products which would result in little or no competition.

A manufacturer estimates that its product can be produced at a total cost of C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x3 dollars. If the manufactu
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The level of production x that will maximize the profit is: 22,966

Explanation:

C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x³

R(x) = 3400x

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

      = 3400x - [50,000 + 100x + x³]

      = 3400x - 50,000 - 100x - x³

      = 3300x - 50,000 - x³   .................... (A)

P'(x) = 3300(1) - 0 - 3x²

       = 3300 - 3x²

At a critical point, P'(x) = 0

∴   0 = 3300 - 3x²

  3x² = 3300

    x² = 1100

     x = ± \sqrt{1100}

P"(x) = -6x

P(\sqrt{1100}) = -6 (\sqrt{1100})   < 0

by second derivative, 'P' max at    x = \sqrt{1100} = 33.17 (rounds)

since x =  \sqrt{1100} ,

recall that P(x) = 3300x - 50,000 - x³ from equation (A)

Therefore, Maximum Profit

P(\sqrt{1100}) = 3300\sqrt{1100} - 50000 - \sqrt{1100} ^{3}

              = 3300(33.17) - 50,000 - 33.17³

              = 109461 -50,000 - 36495.26

              = 22,965.74

Maximum profit is 22,966 to the nearest whole number

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

a. How much time would it take the two to complete the project if they divide the calculations equally and the slides equally? Briefly discuss.

Brian: 5 hours for PowerPoint and 5 hours for the calculations, total 10 hours.

Debbie: 10 hours for PowerPoint and 6 hours for the calculations, total 16 hours.

In total they would spend 26 hours combined.

If they divide the work equally, they will spend too much time.

b. How much time would it take the two to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides? Briefly discuss

Brian will spend 10 hours doing PowerPoint slides and Debbie will spend 12 hours doping calculations. Total time spent 22 hours. By specializing they will save 4 hours.

c. If Brian and Debbie have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides? Briefly discuss

Yes, Debbie could pay $50 to Brian so that he does everything in 20 hours. That way they can save 2 more hours.
