Explanation:
Monopoly.
The 2 reasons why the monopoly’s marginal revenue will always be less than its price are;
a) Even though Monopolies have very large influence on the prices of goods and services they offer, for a Monopoly to sell more goods, they generally have to lower their prices. This will lead to a situation where Marginal Revenue, which is the additional revenue made per additional unit sold will be less than Price because additional revenue for a new unit will be less than the last one because prices are dropped .
b) A Monopoly's demand schedule is downward sloping. This means that demand rises as prices drop. As prices drop therefore, more goods will be sold but the marginal revenue will be less because prices had to be dropped to get an additional unit to be sold. That unit therefore will bring in less revenue than the last unit.
Perfectly Competitive Market
In such a market, the seller is a Price Taker. This means that sellers in this market do not sell at a price that they want but rather at a price the market has established to be the Equilibrium. This is because of the high competition in the market. Since they are all selling at the same price, this means that every additional revenue they get is the same as the price the market charges. This means that Price equals Marginal Revenue in this market.
Answer:
5 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
10 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
Explanation:
Alphaland's opportunity cost of producing one ton of pepper = 80 ÷ 5
= 16 tons of salt
Betaton's opportunity cost of producing one ton of pepper = 3 ÷ 1
= 3 tons of salt
Alphaland's opportunity cost of producing one ton of salt = 5 ÷ 80
= 0.0625 tons of pepper
Betaton's opportunity cost of producing one ton of salt = 1 ÷ 3
= 0.3333 tons of pepper
Therefore, Betaton has a comparative advantage in producing pepper because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing pepper as compared to Alphaland. On the other hand, Alphaland has a comparative advantage in producing salt because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing salt as compared to Betaton.
Hence, Betaton is specialized in the production of pepper and Alphaland is specialized in the production of salt.
Trade is beneficial for both the nations when Alphaland buys pepper at a price lower than the 16 tons of salt and Betaton sells pepper at a price greater than 3 tons of salt.
Trade ratios:
5 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
10 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
Answer:
b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage.
Explanation:
The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.
The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:
1. The bargaining power of suppliers.
2. The bargaining power of customers.
3. Threat posed by substitute products.
4. Threats posed by new entrants.
5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.
The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually the competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage. When the amount of competitors (sellers), as well as the quantity of goods and services they provide are large, the lesser their competitive strengths or advantage in the market because the customers have a large pool of finished goods and services to choose from and vice-versa.
