Answer and Explanation:

When there is price fixing between two competitors, if one competitor chooses to fix the price it should not exceed competutors marginal cost and should be above his marginal cost.

Since the price fixing of $10 will be fined then the ideal price to maximize the profit would be below the competitors price $ and above his marginal cost $.

The ideak price to maximize profits would be (competitors price $ + his marginal cost $)/2, This price would be above his marginal cost and below competitors price.

Suppose Rebecca needs a dog sitter so that she can travel to her sister's wedding. Rebecca values dog sitting for the weekend at
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

d. $10.

Explanation:

Tax is a payment made to the government to assist it in financing its various programs. Taxes are the main source of government revenue.  Income tax is the tax levied on individuals and firms on their earnings.

Susan and Rebecca enter into a work agreement where Rebecca hires Susan to dog sit for her. Susan will be working and is expected to pay taxes on the income received. Rebeca will be attending a wedding, which is not an income-generating activity; hence she will not pay any taxes. It means only Susan will pay taxes as she is the only one who will be earning. If the tax imposed on dog sitting is $10, then the two ladies will be worse-off by $10.
