Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

ABC company: cost of producing a dozen of eggs = 50 cents

XYZ company: cost of producing a dozen of eggs = 70 cents  

When the price of a dozen eggs increases from 55 cents to 75 cents,

Producers surplus for ABC company:

= Revenue - Cost

= 75 - 50

= 25 cents

Producers surplus for XYZ company:

= Revenue - Cost

= 75 cents - 70 cents

= 5 cents.

It is the only price level at which both the companies have greater revenues than costs. It means that they both have profits.

It will increase the producer surplus of both the companies.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The rewards of practicing management include:

a. Building a catalog of successful products or services

b. Becoming a mentor and helping others

c. Experiencing a feeling of accomplishment along with your employees

d. Magnifying your range and stretching your abilities

Explanation:

When management is truly practiced, the rewards are usually great.  The rewards cannot be quantified by what one person has accomplished, because it has some multiplier effects.  Organizational efficiency is also improved.  For those in management, they will gain much experience which they can easily pass to others through mentoring and coaching.  With their employees, they will also feel a sense of having accomplished something meaningful.  Management also gives one the ability to go beyond one's natural range, stretching the person's abilities, and enabling her to attain better outcomes than initially imagined.

Charlie sells cookies only in packages of 10. It costs him $3.50 in materials per package. Additionally, he has overhead costs o
yaroslaw [1]

Let x represent the number of packages Charlie needs to sell to make a monthly income of $5, 000 
Since he sells cookies only in packages of 10 then he has to sell 10x to make that income. But Charlie has expenses that has to be deducted from his total sales to make that figure.  
So the total expenses is $1, 500 in overhead and an extra $3.50 per material per package. So the total expenses = 1500 + 3.50x 
If he has to make $5, 000 at the end of the month we have
 10x - (1500 + 3.50x) = 5000
 10x - 1500 - 3.50x = 5000
 6.50x = 5000 + 1500 = 6500
 Solving we find:
 x = 1, 000 packages

Suppose that a 10 percent increase in the physical capital stock increases GDP by 10 percent. Nowconsider an additional 10 perce
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

B. Less than 10%

Explanation:

An addition increase by 10 % in the physical capital stock (which is a factor of production consisting of man made goods like machineries and so on) will lead to a less than 10% increase in the Gross domestic product. This is due to the law of diminishing marginal utility which talks about the consumption increases marginal utility from each additional unit declines. Thus, the more the physical capital stock increases, the GDP will increase at a decreasing rate.
