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.
EXPLANATION: The MP curve is one of three related curves used in the analysis of the short-run production so basically the marginal product (MP) curve plays in key role in the economic analysis of short-run production by firm
Answer: MP curve looks like a reverse U shaped curve or are invertedly U-shaped
Answer:
Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost
Explanation:
Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.
Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510
Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q
R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500
So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC
Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down
Answer: Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Cost of new economics textbook = $100
Cost of new CD player = $100
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
As the cost of both the products are identical, so the opportunity cost of buying new economics textbook is the enjoyment of the new CD player.
The product that would most likely shift the aggregate supply curve is the domestic products. The answer is letter A. The aggregate supply curve shows a relationship that is inverse between the price level and the quantity of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) purchased. This is because it will increase the future demand.
