Answer: 1. A.Both firms will choose the low price.
2. B. Both firms would choose the high price.
Explanation:
1. If the firms cannot cooperate with each other and must choose simultaneously, both firms will choose the low price.
This is because at the low price both of them are at the highest profit they can make when they are not cooperating. For instance, if Firm B chooses Low Price and Firm A chooses High Price, Firm A will make $3 million while Firm be will make $8 million.
If Firm B decides to have a high price then firm A will take the low price and make $8 million in profit while Firm B makes $4 million. If they are not working together, they will both have to take the low price to make the most profit.
2. If the firms could cooperate with each other, both firms would choose the high price.
The is because they will be making more than competing and getting a lower profit. Should they cooperate they will each get $7 million in profit because they will pick the option they can both make the highest profit at. The is better than competing and making only $5 and $6 million respectively.

Answer: Option A
Explanation: One of the major advantage of using newspaper is that an individual can reach to the prospects on such demo-graphical areas where other mediums might not work effectively and efficiently.
If an entity wants to advertise its product to smaller audiences at living in difficult places then it should go for newspaper. Also newspaper is the most common medium as one might not watch tv or listen radio daily but most of the individuals read newspaper everyday at morning.
Hence the correct option is A .
Answer:
$140,309.20
Explanation:
The computation of the manufacturing overhead is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)
= $302,000 ÷ 5,000 hours
= $60.4
Now we have to find the actual overhead which equals to
= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate
= 2,323 hours × $60.4
= $140,309.20
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
Answer:
Explanation:
- Given the equation ; Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX
- where PX is the price of X = $50
- PY is the price of good Y = $100
- and AX is the amount of advertising on X = 1,000 units
a) Calculate the quantity demanded of good X ; Plugging all the values into the equation ;
= 10,000 − 4(50) + 5(100) + 2(25,000) + 1000
Qxd = 61,300units
b) Calculate the own price elasticity of demand for good ;
= d(Qxd)/dpx X px/Qxd = -4 x 50/61,300
= 0.0033. hence he demand for goods is inelastic
c) l will surely recommend lowering the price as this is evident from the value of the price elasticity of demand which is negative as such an increase in the price of their goods will give rise to total loss
d ) cross-price elasticity between goods X and Y = %change in quantity/ %change in price
e) Calculate the income elasticity of good X. Is good X normal or an inferior good? = dQ/dM X M/Q = 2(25000) /61300
= 0.82.
Yes! Good X is a normal goods since the value of the income elasticity is positive.
