Answer: The price of the tied good is $20.

Explanation: The practice of tying is used to package products in such a way that the price of the tied (combined) good is closer to the buyers total willingness to pay for the two goods.

In this case, the total willingness to pay of Carnivore is $20+$7=$27

While, that of Leafygreens is $8+$12=$20

Thus, the producer will sell the combined good at $20 as it this price both the consumers will buy the tied good. If the producer sells it at $27, then only the Carnivore will buy the good but Leafygreens will not.

Thus, with zero marginal cost of serving additional consumer it is better for the producer to sell at $20.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand

While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

351,830,000 Yuan

Explanation:

Investment value = C$ 15.1 billion

Value in Yuan in June 2012 =   C$ 15.1 billion x  6.3698 Yuan/C$

Value in Yuan in September 2012 =   C$ 15.1 billion x  6.3465 Yuan/C$

The difference in Yuan if Cnooc has purchased Nexen in September instead of June is:

D= 15,100,000,000*(6.3698 - 6.3465)\\D= 351,830,000 \ Yuan

Cnocc saves 351,830,000 Yuan
