Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

If the marginal cost of producing one extra unit is larger than the marginal revenue earned by selling one extra unit, then the production should either be reduced or halted.

Generally in very competitive industries, like car industries, when the marginal cost exceeds the marginal revenue then the company should stop production in the short run until the price increases.

One real life example we can use is the traditional sales battle to decide who sells the most sedan cars in America between Honda and Toyota. Toyota has the advantage of fleet selling over Honda, since Honda is not willing to offer steep discounts on fleet sales as Toyota does. But does selling more sedans equals larger profits? Not necessarily, since fleet sales require steep discounts, Toyota's profitability is reduced or nearly eliminated. Honda decides to lower their production levels so that their marginal costs don't exceed their marginal revenue.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

• It could prevent a will from going into probate

•It avoids confusion if the primary beneficiary on dies first

•It allows for another option if the primary beneficiary cannot inherit it

Answer:

Current yield = 0.05238 or 5.238% rounded off to 5.24%

option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

The current yield is the return on investment in form of interest or dividend expressed as a percentage of the current market value of the instrument. Thus the formula for current yield on a bond will be,

Current yield = Interest per year / Current market price

Assuming that the value of bond is 100. The interest or coupon payment on bond will be = 100 * 5.5% = $5.5 per annum

Current yield = 5.5 / 105 = 0.05238 or 5.238% rounded off to 5.24%

Two firms decide whether to launch a new product: (i) If both firms choose to launch a new product, then each firm will receive
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

don't launch

Explanation:

Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.

Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.

Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

The payoff matrix for this question is

                                     Launch (in millions)               Don't Launch  (in millions)  

Launch (in millions)                  $40, $40                      $30, $45

Don't Launch (in millions)         $45, $30                      $50, $50

It can be seen that the best strategy for each firm is not to launch because the payoffs of not launching ($45, $50) is greater than the payoff  of launching ($40, $30)
