Answer:

P = MR = 1

Explanation:

The demand function is q = 25 - 12p.

The  total income is the price of potatoes multiplied by the quantities of potato --> P * Q

p*q = p*(25-12p)

p*q = 25p - 12p^2

the first derivative of the previous equation is the marginal revenue. In perfect competition the Price = Marginal revenue.

First derivative of total income ---> 25-24p

And MR = P

25-24p=p

25=25p

<h2>p=1</h2>

Radial Autos currently sources components such as airbags, upholstery, and brake pads from various suppliers in the industry val
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: Radial Autos should pursue Backward Integration.

Explanation: Backward integration is the process in which a company purchases or internally produces segments of its own supply chain. Simply put, it is when a company acquires and controls certain inputs that could be utilized in the process of manufacturing its products or services.

This is a competitive strategy, because it lowers the cost of production and this will reflect in the price of the final product.

This is the strategy that Radial Autos should pursue in order to lower cost and reduce risk in interruption of the supply component, because in adopting this strategy, they will have total control over the inputs they use in production.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The relevant tax issues are as follows:

- Is the loss a theft loss or an investment loss?

- Is the loss subject to either the personal loss limits or the limits on itemized deductions?

- How is the amount of the loss determined?

- In which year can the loss be taken?

- Is there a way to receive a tax benefit for the full amount of income recognized in prior years?

The irrelevant tax issue is:

- Did John have other casualty or theft losses within the last five years?

Explanation:

In this scenario John invested and provided Randy with a power of attorney to use $200,000 to purchase and sell securities on his behalf.

The earnings were to be reinvested, but John realised in 2020 that Randy was running a Ponzi scheme and his account was zero.

As John will most likely not be possible a casualty loss may be allowed.

Since the loss happened in 2017 when he invested the theft loss will be deducted in that year.

He will be able to deduct his losses under 165.

Deductions are allowed for losses in a tax year that is not covered by insurance.

Losses that can be claimed are limited to:

- Losses in business or trade

- Losses in transactions for profit

- Losses as a result of theft, fire, storm, or shipwreck.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

c. $150.

the extra amount of hours Maurice can work taking a flight will be of 5 hours

(8 hours taking a plane against 3 hours if driving)

As the income per hour is 30 dollar it can generate;

5 hours x $30 per hour = $150

Maurice will only travel by plane if it generates the same or more income than the driving thus, a differencial price of less than 150 dollars will provide Maurice with a net gain. Also we should consider that if Maurice drives his car it is taking a depreication hit per mile while driving that is being ignoer to keep the assignment simple. But considering that the amount of differential income could be higher than $150
