Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, kindly find below the complete version of the question:

Question

Jack and Diane own Enviromax, a monopolistically competitive firm that recycles paper products. (1.)If Enviromax wants to maximize profit, what price would they charge?  (2).What is their profit per unit if they are operating at the profit maximizing output?

Answer / Explanation

(1) First before we continue to answer this question, let us define what a monopoly is: This is a kind of market situation where the sole production or manufacturing of a product have been given to a single entity.

The graph attached below will give us a proper understanding and illustration of the answer.

Where:  MR in the graph is defined as the additional revenue obtained when producers produce 1 more unit of good and the AR refers to the total revenue divided by the amount of output produced which is essentially  the price of one unit of good.

MC refers to the additional cost incurred by producers when they produce 1 more unit of good  and is upwards sloping due to increasing opportunity costs of production.  

Noting that since the firm is a monopolistic type, the MR curve is lower than the  AR curve because if the firm wants to sell an additional unit of output it will have to lower the  successive price.  This is unlike the case of a firm operating in a PC where it takes the price as given and hence has no  ability to set prices.  it should also be noted that profit maximizing for all firms (whether PC or non-PC) occurs at MC=MR. This is because if MC>MR  this means the additional cost of producing this unit of good > additional revenue obtained from selling  this unit of good and is hence not profit maximizing. If MC<MR, this implies that the firm should not stop  at producing this unit of good because it will be forgoing the additional net revenue (profit) should it do  so. Hence all firms will produce at the point where MC=MR.

(2) Now referring back to the graph, the profit-maximising point where MC intersects MR hence occurs at  output Q. The firm will hence produce Q and hence price at P according to the AR (DD) curve.

In the graph below, since AR > AC at the profit maximizing level, this implies that per unit revenue > per unit costs and the firm makes a supernormal profit (defined as what excess profit above what is  needed to keep firms in production which is normal profit) of the shaded area.  If the firm was operating in a perfectly competitive market however, then the profit maximizing point  would occur at AR =MC (since AR=MR in a PC market) and the firm would be producing at Qpc and Ppc

Lilit [14]

Answer: Political Distance

Explanation:

Political distance refers to a difference in opinion and policies as well as relations that countries have amongst themselves. In this scenario, this is the most likely bone of contention that would prevent Macmillan Toys from expanding into Rusalka.

This is because land disputes fall under political distance and can get very serious. So serious in fact that nations have gone to war over such disputes with the latest being Azerbaijan and Armenia. Macmillan Toys may therefore find it difficult to expand into the country due to this land dispute.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

informed consent

Explanation:

Based on the information provided, this is a violation of informed consent. This is because informed consent can only be granted when the individual signing the consent forms COMPLETELY understands and accepts the information presented in the forms. In this scenario, the family may speak English but since their native language is Korean and the consent forms are not offered in Korean there is a large possibility that some of the information may not be fully understood by the family. Thus they are not fully informed when signing.

Natalie owns a condominium near Cocoa Beach in Florida. This year, she incurs the following expenses in connection with her cond
kumpel [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Natalie's Gross Income = $10,000

75 + 35 = 110 days

Expenses:

Insurance Expense (75/110) x 1000                 682

Advertising Expense                                        500

Mortgage Interest (75/110) x 3500                  2386

Property Taxes (75/110) x 900                         614

Repairs and Maintenance (75/110) x 650        443

Utilities    (75/110) x 950                                   648

Depreciation (75/110) x 8500                          5795

Until the depreciation expenses the total expenses accumulate to  5273. If we deduct that with the gross income total we get 4727. We can only deduct 4727 from the total portion of 5795 depreciation expense.

Therefore, for AGI deductions we take total of (5273 + 4727) = $10,000

For Natalie's personal deduction of AGI

Mortgage interest (35/110) x 3500                    1114

Property taxes (35/110) x 900                            286

Total personal deduction for AGI                    $1400
