Answer:

The operators have not violated the antitrust laws because they are only collaborating to lobby the government

Explanation:

The antitrust law in the U.S. can be described as a group of federal and state government laws enacted to regulate the activities of business firms in order to enhance competition to the advantage of consumers.

The antitrust law aims to collusive activities that suppress trade, any merger and acquisition that would reduce competition, and prevent the the abuse of monopoly power.

Since the activity of the operators of adult bookstores does not fall under what the antitrust law aims to prevent but it is just a collaboration to lobby the government, they have a good defense that they have not violated the antitrust laws.

Explanation:

Calculation of Labor Cost :

Job 201  = 4,280 hours × $15 = $64,200

Job 202 = 2,140 hours × $15  = $32,100

Job 203 = 1,690 hours × $15  = $25,350

Job 204 = 3,140 hours × $15  = $47,100

Application of overhead to jobs :

Job 201  = 4,280 hours × $22 = $94,160

Job 202 = 2,140 hours × $22  = $47,080

Job 203 = 1,690 hours × $22   = $37,180

Job 204 = 3,140 hours × $22 = $69,080

Gnom [1K]

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing information

Answer :

$900

$600

<u>Given the new price of $4 by Government </u>

quantity demanded = 400 units

quantity supplied = 150 units

quantity bought and sold = 150 units

  • $975
  • $150
  • $375

Explanation:

Consumer surplus ( area below demand curve and above $300  

= Area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height

= 0.5 * 300 ( 12 - 6 )  = $900

producer surplus ( area above supply curve and below $300

=  Area of the triangle = 0.5 * 300 ( 6-2 ) = $600

<u>Given the new price of $4 by Government </u>

quantity demanded = 400 units

quantity supplied = 150 units

quantity bought and sold = 150 units

Consumer surplus ( area of triangle + area of rectangle )

= 0.5 * 150 * ( 12-9 )+ L*B

= 0.5 * 150 * ( 3 ) + 150 * ( 9 - 4 )  = $975

producer surplus ( Area of triangle )

= 0.5 * 150 * (4-2) = $150

deadweight loss ( area of triangle )

= 0.5 * ( 300 - 150 ) ( 9-4 )

= $375
