king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each queen bed costs $300 and requires 90 cubic feet of storage space. The manager has $75,000 to invest in beds this week, and her warehouse has 18,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each king bed is $300 and for each queen bed is $150.

Answer:

As we want to maximize the profit, the objective function is the profit function:

Profit=300*K+150*Q

Explanation:

This is a linear programming problem.

We want  to maximize the profit, and the limitations are budget, where we take into account the cost of the types of beds, and warehouse space, where we take into account the space the beds required.

As we want to maximize the profit, the objective function is the profit function:

Profit=300*K+150*Q

The constraints are:

- Budget

500K+300Q\leq75000

- Warehouse space:

100K+90Q\leq 18000

Use the cost and revenue data to answer the questions. Quantity Price Total revenue Total cost 10 90 900 675 15 80 1200 825 20 7
azamat

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Marginal revenue is the revenue earned by selling an additional unit of output. Marginal Revenue for fifteenth unit of output is calculated as below.

Marginal Revenue= \frac{ATR}{AQ} =\frac{1200 - 900}{15 -10} = 60

Marginal Cost is the additional cost incurred on producing additional unit of output. Marginal Cost for fifteenth unit is calculated as below.

Marginal Cost= \frac{ATC}{ AQ} =\frac{825-675}{15-10} =30

The marginal revenue when the quantity is 25 is

The marginal Cost when the quantity is 15 is

The marginal profit of a monopoly is 0 when the marginal profit is equal to the marginal cost. The monopoly produces at an output where the marginal profit is equal to zero.

Thus, the output produced by the monopoly is

The corresponding price set is at $70.

120 units  

A perfectly competitive market produces an output where the marginal cost is equal to

the average revenue. Thus a competitive firm produces

The corresponding price is set at $50.

130 units)

The monopoly price $70 is higher than the competitive firm's price $50.

Hence, the correct option is

Technological advances are difficult to predict. One great advance can replace or substitute for existing products in a relative
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The answer is: 3) Printed media

Explanation:

This is already happening, cell phones and tablets have already replaced digital cameras, Netflix is replacing cable TV and sooner than later cell phones and tablets will replace printed media completely.

Ask yourself, when was the last time you bought a newspaper? I haven´t bought a newspaper in years but I can also guarantee that I read more news outlets today that ever before. I can read the New York Times, The Washington Post, Sports Illustrated, etc. all on my cellphone. Using my phone is cheaper and faster (and also more ecological) than buying a printed version. In a few years probably no newspaper will have a printed edition, not even magazines will be printed anymore.
