Answer: d. C(x) = 15 +0.05x.
Explanation:
The Cost function for the cake will be the sum of the fixed and variable costs that Mrs. Dill will incur per cake baked.
Fixed cost = $15
Total Variable cost = Number of cakes baked * variable cost per cake
= x * 5 cents
= x * 5 cents / 100 cents in a dollar
= 0.05x
Cost function is therefore:
= 15 + 0.05x
Answer:
$40,000 per year; $37,500 per year; $40,000.
Explanation:
From the question above, we are given the following parameters; Alpha Firm offers a salary = $40,000 per year + no bonuses, "Beta Firm offers a base salary of $35,000 per year with a 25% chance that you will receive an annual bonus of $10,000".
So, to answer the question,the expected salary of working for Alpha Firm will surely be = $40,000 per year.
At Beta Firm the expected salary is = $35,000 + 0.25($10,000) = $37,500.
Therefore, if I was risk neutral, the expected value of the year bonus offered by Beta Firm would need to be at least $40,000 for me not to be indifferent to the choice between the two options.
Answer: Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
The following events are mostly likely to occur:
(1) New firms will enter the market.
(3) In the long run, all firms will be producing at their efficient scale.
If in a perfectly competitive market, firms observing that there is an increase in the demand for the goods, as a result this will increase the price of the goods in the short run.
But, there are some new firms enter into the market. This will shift the supply curve rightwards as a result there is a reduction in the price level in the long run.
Hence, all the firms are producing at a efficient level of production in the long run.
