Answer:

units of output  = 2 units

fixed cost = 8

Explanation:

given data

SMC = 2 + 4Q

AVC = 2 + 2Q

to find out

how many units of output will it produce at a market price and what level of fixed cost will this firm earn zero economic profit

solution

we know here that  under perfect competition

so at the equilibrium here Price (P)  will be = MC

P = MC = 10

and

SMC = 2 + 4Q ,

P = 2 + 4Q

10 = 2 + 4Q

Q = 2 units

and

at zero economic profit we get

TR = TC    

TR = P × Q

TR = 10 × 2

TR = 20

so

TC = TFC + TVC

20 = TFC + 12    

TFC  = 8

because here [ TVC = AVC × Q ]

[ TVC = (2 + 2 × 2) × 2 ]  

[ TVC = 12 ]

ella [17]

Answer:

The answers are : Stable financial system; Strategic location; High literacy rate.

Explanation:

Singapore is a small island, highly populated country without much natural resources and little resources are paid to agricultural sector and energy sector thus lack of self-sufficiency in regard to water, food (due to limited land, lack of water supply and high labor cost). Currently, more than 40% of the country's water consumption are exported from Malaysia.

However, thanks to its strategic location lying in the center of the trade flow between the America, Europe, Middle East - Africa and Asia and the heart of Asia; its stable financial system which is one of the financial centers of Asia and the world due to its pretty open economy; its highly-educated citizens ( according to UNESCO Singapore literacy rate has been going up from nearly 83% in 1980 to more than 97% in 2018), the country is among one of the most prosperous countries in the world.

Oscar's Flower Shop maximizes profits by hiring four workers in a perfectly competitive labor market. The workers and their valu
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In equilibrium, each worker is paid his or her value of the marginal product of labor.

Explanation:

Here are the missing option of the question:

  • In equilibrium, each worker is paid his or her value of the marginal product of labor.
  • Each worker is paid a wage equal to the highest value of the marginal product of labor(i.e., $40)
  • Each worker is paid $15.
  • We need to know the product price before we can figure out the wage rate.

As per marginal theory of productivity of income distribution, Income of each factor production is equal to its marginal productivity.

Marginal productivity is one additional unit of production by one unit additional unit of factor, which bring changes in total production. Firm hire labor till marginal revenue product of labor is more than wage rate of labor. The point at which Marginal revenue product of labor is equal to wage rate labor is the labor market equilibrium.

When the price of a movie ticket rises from $6 to $8 for senior citizens, Gary (a senior citizen) decides to go to the movies ev
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

2.33 ; demand for movies is elastic

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand is presented below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 30 - 15

= 15

And, an average of quantity demanded is

= (30 + 15) ÷ 2

= 22.50

Change in price would be

= P2 - P1

= $8 - $6

= $2

And, the average of price is

= ($8 + $6) ÷ 2

= 7

So, after solving this, the price elasticity of demand is 2.33

Since it is not given by which method we have to calculate it. So, we use the mid point formula.

Based on the above calculation, we concluded that the demand for movies is elastic
