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

Building an organization capable of good strategy execution entails:

MrMuchimi

Answer:

a. Staffing the organization, building core competencies, and structuring the organization and work effort

Explanation:

Staffing is the management function undertaken with an objective to hire right people for the most suitable job position, and keeping filled organizational positions throughout.

A core competency refers to those unique capabilities an organization builds over time owing to innovation, creativity or efficient resource management, which yields competitive advantage to the organization. A core competency cannot be easily imitated by the rival firms and provides competitive edge to the firm who possesses it.

Organizational structure would define the hierarchy and define reporting responsibilities of it's employees, the extent of delegation of tasks and the organizational culture.

Thus for an organization to be capable of executing good strategy, the above three are a requisite.

Which government policy will create the following results?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Any type of government policy that restricts free trade and the movement of capital can trigger the aforementioned consequences. Thus, the limitation of companies to obtain economic benefits can make them decide to close their activities, leaving employees on the street (increasing unemployment), reducing the country's economic production (causing the country's real GDP to decrease), and ultimately, generating monetary lags due to lack of economic production, generating devaluations that lower the international price level of the country's products.
