Answer:
<u>Part a: What will be the equilabrium price that Dumphy and Funke will charge?</u>
Answer: Price charged = $30
<u>Part b: What are the profits for Dumphy and Funke at the equilibrium price?</u>
Answer: Profit on equilibrium price = $0
<u>Part c: What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand?</u>
Answer: Price competition
Explanation:
<u>Part a: What will be the equilabrium price that Dumphy and Funke will charge?</u>
Answer:
Price charged by each of the artists will be equal to their marginal cost.
Thus, equilibrium P = MC = $30.
<u>Part b: What are the profits for Dumphy and Funke at the equilibrium price?</u>
Answer:
Equilibrium profits will be 0 at the equilibrium because price charged is equal to MC, leading to no profits.
<u>Part c: What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand?</u>
Answer:
Price competition - as changes in price will lead to changes in demand and thus sales
Answer:
The correct answer is d. Different economic models employ different sets of assumptions.
Explanation:
To approach the study of economic reality it is necessary, in some way, to simplify it; keep certain variables under control. Precisely for this, it is that economic models are built.
Economic models are built on principles of departure, called "assumptions." Such assumptions fulfill the same role as the postulates in geometry. That is:
- They are not subject to deduction from other more basic principles.
- They are "reasonably" true but not necessarily verifiable.
- They function as premises in the logical structure to deduce the conclusions and correlations found in the lowest levels of generality.
We can say then, that the theoretical explanations refer to invisible "relationships", whose existence is proposed by the theory, and whose implications are logically deduced, and then corroborated by observations. They consist of:
- Assumptions (eg subjects want to maximize their earnings).
- Relevant variables (eg price and quantity).
- Binding hypothesis (eg quantity demanded based on price).
- Conclusions or predictions of observable facts (eg prices will rise).

"E "
Explanation:
Just in time inventory is an inventory management system where inventory required for production are ordered at the point of production.
This practice helps to maximize profit as investment on inventory carriage and storage are minimized , aiding an improved working capital management.
It is of importance that machine break down is avoided and there is a reliability of man power in order to avoid operation down time when there is a demand.
Also , there must be a solid arrangement with supplier for it to be effective.
Answer:
Stock is valued at lower of : cost or market price [prudence principle]
Explanation :
Prudence or Conservatism is an accounting principle : anticipating for all possible losses & expenditures, not anticipating for possible profits & gains. This makes business better prepared to face all contingent expenditures/ losses.
This concept's implication is that : Stock or Inventory is valued at the value whichever is lesser between 'cost of inventory' & sale price. This makes inventory valuation as per the above explained Prudence/ Conservatism principle.
