Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)  (i) Marginal cost (MC) = Change in Total cost (TC) by Change in output (Q)

(ii) Total revenue (TR) = Price (P) into Q

(iii) Marginal revenue (MR) = Change in TR by Change in Q

(iv) Profit = TR - TC

Therefore:

Q  TC  MC  P  TR  MR  PROFIT

0  25   60  0   -25

1  40  15  55  55  55  15

2  45  5  50  100  45  55

3  55  10  45  135  35  80

4  70  15  40  160  25  90

5  90  20  35  175  15  85

6  115  25  30  180  5  65

7  145  30  25  175  -5  30

8  180  35  20  160  -15  -20

9  220 40  15  135  -25  -85

10  265 45  10  100  -35  -165

When Q = 4, MR = $25 and MC = $15, so MR > MC. When Q = 5, MR = $15 and MC = $20, so MR < MC. Therefore,  

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

(b)  In the long run, new firms will enter the market by being attracted by positive short run profit. Therefore in long run, demand for individual firm will decrease, price for individual firm will decrease and profit will decrease until each existing firm earns zero economic profit.

Choose the best closing for a message requesting the receiver's support for a proposed change in a benefits plan.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

c. Contacting me by December 1 about your support of this new benefits plan will allow me to present this proposal at the next strategic planning session.

Explanation:

The closing for a request should indicate a deadline for receiver, which can help to engage receiver in sender’s process.

Even though in this scenario, the sender is requesting for a support which might be not receiver’s responsibility to accept the benefit plan, but the sender can smartly appreciate the receiver if he can have the support by December 1.

I suppose with this closing in an email, receiver will put this mail in his working calendar or prioritized list if he really care and want to support this plan.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

131,250= number of units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

<u>We need to calculate the number of units to be sold to maintain a profit of $175,000.</u>

Unitary variable cost= $3

Fixed expenses= $350,000

Selling price= $7

Net income= total contribution margin - fixed cost

175,000= number of units*(7 - 3) - 350,000

525,000 = number of units*4

525,000 / 4= number of units

131,250= number of units

Which of the following statements is correct?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. Different economic models employ different sets of assumptions.

Explanation:

To approach the study of economic reality it is necessary, in some way, to simplify it; keep certain variables under control. Precisely for this, it is that economic models are built.

Economic models are built on principles of departure, called "assumptions." Such assumptions fulfill the same role as the postulates in geometry. That is:

  1. They are not subject to deduction from other more basic principles.
  2. They are "reasonably" true but not necessarily verifiable.
  3. They function as premises in the logical structure to deduce the conclusions and correlations found in the lowest levels of generality.

We can say then, that the theoretical explanations refer to invisible "relationships", whose existence is proposed by the theory, and whose implications are logically deduced, and then corroborated by observations. They consist of:

  1. Assumptions (eg subjects want to maximize their earnings).
  2. Relevant variables (eg price and quantity).
  3. Binding hypothesis (eg quantity demanded based on price).
  4. Conclusions or predictions of observable facts (eg prices will rise).
