Answer:

The answer is option A) The short run recommendation for a monopolistic firm is to remain at the current output level

Explanation:

In the short run, monopolistic firms could record losses but still continue to run in anticipation of a sustainable profit in the long run.

A self-employed profit-maximizing consultant specializing in monopolies understands that the short run losses experienced in a monopoly is also an advantage in that it reduces the participation of more players in the same industry/ market segment.

The best recommendation would be to remain at the current output level during the short run to cut losses, sustain patronage and then develop a long term strategy that will guarantee profitability in the long run.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

$150

Explanation:

Calculation of how much income that Gramps will recognize on the first payment.

Since joint survivor annuity has 23.1 as the annual return multiple .

Calculation for Expected return

Expected return =Annual payment *Return multiple

($500*12) =$6,000

$6,000×23.1

=$138,600

Therefore :

$97,020/$138,600

=0.7×100

=70%

The 70% of each of the payment will be the return of capital while the 30%(100%-70%) will be the income.

Hence the first payment be:

30%×500

=$150

Therefore the amount of income that Gramps will recognize on the first payment will be $150
