Answer:

a. Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost.

Explanation:

<u>Note</u>: <u>The words "profit is not maximized" have been interpreted as, "the firm at current level of output earns profits, but not maximum profits it can earn." The answer provided herein is based upon this assumption.</u><u> </u>

Marginal revenue (MR) refers to the addition to total revenue when an additional unit of output is sold.

Similarly, marginal cost (MC) refers to the addition to total cost of production, when an additional unit is produced.

For an optimal level of production, and as a condition for profit maximization under perfect competition,

MR = MC and the marginal cost should increase post the level of output at which MR = MC.

If a competitive firm operates at a level wherein profits are not maximized, but the firm does earn profits, it indicates the stage of production wherein the marginal revenue exceeds the marginal cost.

Thus, as firm produces more and more units of output, it would reach a stage wherein marginal revenue would equal marginal costs and profits shall be maximized.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a. $612

b. $2,480

Explanation:

a. Overhead is applied at a rate of $12 per direct labor hour.

Overhead applied would therefore be;

= 12 * total labor hours

= 12 * 51

= $612

b. Total Cost = Direct labor cost + Direct Material cost + Manufacturing overhead

= 978 + 890 + 612

= $2,480

When Bill's Diner moves from the production combination of 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs to the combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<h2>In the context of Consumer Theory or Indifference Curve involving two goods,the opportunity of any one good is computed by how much of the other good is foregone or sacrificed to purchase one more unit of that particular good.</h2>

Explanation:

  • In this instance,when Bill's diner consumes 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dog=\frac{35}{25} =\frac{7}{5}=1.4.Therefore,initially Bill diner's opportunity cost of an additional hot dog is 1.4 units of burger.
  • Now,when Bill's diner chooses to consume a combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot dogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dogs=\frac{25}{65} =\frac{5}{13} =0.385 approximately.Hence,Bill's diner is willing to sacrifice approximately 0.385 units of burger to consume an additional unit of hot dog.
  • Now,due to the change in consumption combination,the change in opportunity cost of additional hot dog=(1.4-0.385)=1.015 units of burger.Notice,that here the opportunity cost of additional hot dog decreased from 1.4 units of burger to 0.385 units of burger as Bill's diner changed the consumption combination of both burgers and hot dogs.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Internet Banks have lower overhead costs.

Explanation:

Online Banks and traditional banks are basically the same with the main difference being that Internet Banks have lower overhead costs. These are costs on the income statement usually including accounting fees, advertising, insurance, interest, legal fees, labor burden, rent, repairs, supplies, taxes, telephone bills, travel expenditures, and utilities. Since Internet Banks do not need many physical locations they save on many of these overhead fees.

maw [93]

Answer:

AD2 and then to AD3

Explanation:

If the investment is continued to increase by federal reserve it would only be feasible when money creation decreases the interest rate.

The aggregate demand would then be expanded and the aggregate demand curve shifted to the right. The necessary increase in aggregate demand must be such that aggregate shifts in demand curve from AD1 to AD2 to AD3.
