Answer:

The slope of indifference curve is 7.

Explanation:

The marginal utility of good Y = 2X^2

The marginal utility of good X = 4XY

Given Y = 7

X = 2

The slope of the indifference curve is otherwise termed as the marginal rate of substitution. So, we can find the slope by dividing the marginal utility of Y by the marginal utility of X.

Slope = MUx / MUy

= 4XY / 2X^2

= 4Y / 2X

Now insert the value of X and Y.

= (4×7) / (2×2)

= 28/4

= 7  

Hence the slope of the indifference curve is 7.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

D. $155,600

Explanation:

The calculations of the budgeted cash collections are shown below:

= June sales × sale month collection percentage + May sales × following month collection percentage  + April sales × second following month collection percentage

= $150,000 × 40% + $160,000 × 56%  + $150,000 × 4%

= $60,000 + $89,600 + $6,000

= $155,600

Simply we multiplied the sales with the collection criteria

In the long run, a monopolistically competitive firm will earn: (A) normal profits because economic profits will attract new fir
enot [183]

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.

In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.

There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.

This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.

At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.
