Consider a city that has a number of hot dog stands operating throughout the downtown area. Suppose that each vendor has a margi

nal cost of $1.50 per hot dog sold and no fixed cost. Suppose the maximum number of hot dogs that any one vendor can sell is 100 per day.(a) If the price of a hot dog is $2, how many hot dogs does each vendor want to sell?(b) If the industry is perfectly competitive, will the price remain at $2 for a hot dog in the long run? If not, what will the price be?(c) At the price in part (b), if each vendor sells exactly 100 hot dogs a day and the demand for hot dogs from vendors in the city is Q = 4400 – 1200P, how many vendors are there?(d) Suppose the city decides to regulate hot dog vendors by issuing permits. If the city issues only 20 permits and if each vendor continues to sell 100 hot dogs a day, what price will a hot dog sell for?(e) Suppose the city decides to sell the permits. What is the highest price that a vendor would pay for a permit?

Answer:

Check the following explanation

Explanation:

(a) Since the marginal cost is constant at $1.50 and not increasing, the amount of hot dogs suppliers would want to supply is infinite as $1.50 will always be less than $2 and the more they supply, the more they earn.

(b) No, it would not remain at $2 for a long time. In a perfectly competitive industry, firms can easily enter or leave the industry, therefore, any supernormal profits will attract new firms to enter the industry and increase the overall supply of hot dogs, bringing the price back down to $1.50, where P = MC.

(c) When P = 1.50, Quantity demanded = 4400 - 1200(1.50) = 2600.

Number of firms = 2600/100 = 26 firms.

(d) Quantity supplied = 20(100) = 2000

When demand = supply, 2000 = 4400 - 1200P

P = 2

(e) Supernormal profits per day = (2-1.50)(100) = $50

Therefore, firms will pay a maximum of $50 a day, which is equals to the amount of supernormal profits earned.

Answer:

Why blood oozes out when there is a slight cut:

The body has many blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart. Some of these blood vessels are very close to the skin. When we have a slight cut, the cut damages these blood vessels and so the blood they are carrying comes out of the wound.

This will be stopped when platelets form blood clots which then trapped blood cells and stop the bleeding.

mixer [17]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

a. print media are different in Europe, and it would be difficult to create a global campaign.

b. advertising regulations differ in other countries, including advertising to children.

c. domestic advertising agencies cannot earn commissions on advertising they place overseas.

d. research indicates that European children do not eat breakfast as often as American children.

e. literacy rates are significantly lower in Europe, and print ads would be ineffective.

And this is the correct answer:

b. advertising regulations differ in other countries, including advertising to children.

Explanation:

Breakfast cereal is a product that is often marketed to children, although it is also marketed to other demographics. Because Celia has decided to avoid the U.S. market, she will depend on the European Market to make a profit.

If she introduces her product in a European Union member state, she will have to read upon the European Union regulations for advertising targeted toward children. If she introduces her product in a country that does not belong to the European Union, she will have to find out about each specific country's advertising law.
