The K-constant variation is the factor of the increase-decrease relationship between the x-variable and y-variable which can be stated as y=k*x or x=y/k<span>. For example, if y variable equal 5 and the x variable equal 2 then the k-constant variation equal 2 (calculation y=k*x --> 5=2*2.5). This constant shows the relationship between the variables.</span>

Suppose an oligopoly consists of two firms. Firm A lowers price and Firm B responds by lowering its price by the same amount. If
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The profits for firma A and B will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oligopoly by definition "is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can keep the others from having significant influence. The concentration ratio measures the market share of the largest firms".

If the costs remain the same for both companies and both firms decrease the prices then we will have a decrease of profits, we can see this on the figure attached.

We have an equilibrium price (let's assume X) and when we decrease a price and we have the same level of output the area below the curve would be lower and then we will have less profits for both companies.

You invested $19,000 in two accounts paying 4% and 8% annual interest, respectively.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

$9000 at 4$

and

$10000 at 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that "x" is the amount deposited in the 4% account and "y" is the amount deposited in the 8% account.

Recall the formula for interest as : I= P * R *t

where I is the interest, R is the annual rate of interest and t is the number of years.

Since there are two investments, we need to add both interests at the end of the one year: I1 = x (0.04) (1) = 0.04 x   and   I2 = y (0.08) (1) = 0.08 y

Total Interest = Interest (from the 4% account) + Interest (from the 8% account)

Total Interest = $1160 = 0.04 x +  0.08 y

we also know that the total invested (x + y) adds to $19,000, that is:

$19,000 = x + y

Then we can solve these system of two equations by substitution, for example solving for y in the second equation and using the y substitution in the first equation;

y = 19000 - x

1160 = 0.04 x + 0.08 (19000 - x)

1160 = 0.04 x + 1520 - 0.08 x

0.08 x - 0.04 x = 1520 - 1160

0.04 x = 360

x = 360/0.04 = $9000

Then the other investment was : y = $19000 - $9000 = $10000
