Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

A cartel can be defined as a group of independent producers who come together to form a group in order to improve profits. In an oligopoly market, there are few firms in the market. The firms are such that the economic decisions of one firm or producer affects their rivals.  

In such a situation, the firms come together to form a cartel to protect their interests. In a cartel, production limits are set for all producers so that the price is high. But cartels are generally short-lived.  

This is because the individual producers have incentives to cheat the cartel by producing more than a set limit so that they can increase their profit and market share.

John Jones owns and manages a café in Collegetown whose annual revenue is $5,000. Annual expenses are as follows:
OleMash [197]

Answer:

a.) $750

b.) Yes, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year.

Yes, he should stay in the café business.

c.) No, the café is making an economic loss of $75 per year

No, he should not stay in the café business.

d.)$3,250

e.) $250

Explanation:

a) John's accounting profit is his revenue minus his explicit costs:$5,000 - $4,250 = $750

b) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the café is $725 per year ($1,000 − $275 = $725). Thus, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $725 = $25). Since the café is earning an economic profit, John should stay in the café business.

c) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the cafe is $825 per year ($1,100 − $275 = $825). Thus, the cafe is earning an economic loss of $75 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $825 = −$75). Since the café is earning an economic loss, John should not stay in the café business.

d) John's accounting profit equals his revenue minus his explicit costs. If he doesn't need a loan, then his explicit costs equal $3,250. So, his accounting profit equals $1,750 (= $5,000 − $3,250).

e) To earn a normal profit, the café would have to cover all its implicit and explicit costs. The opportunity cost of John's time is $1,000 per year while the café's accounting profit is only $750 per year. Thus, the café would have to earn additional revenues of $250 per year in order for John to make a normal profit.

Explanation:

If the CPI = 15.2 in 1931, and in 2012 it was = 229.6, then President Hoover was making a fortune = (229.6 / 15.2) x $75,000 = $1,132,895, and he was a terrible president, one of the worst ones in all history.
