Answer:

group 1 Markup  = 0.333

group 2 Markup  = 0.25

group 1 price = $79.98

group 2 price = $75

Explanation:

given data

Group 1 elasticity of demand = -4

Group 2 elasticity of demand = -5

marginal cost =  $60

to find out

optimal markups and prices under third degree price discrimination

solution

we get here Under Markup pricing  that is for group 1 and 2 is

Markup is = \frac{1}{- elasticity - 1}    .....................1

so for group 1 Markup =  \frac{1}{- (-4) - 1}

group 1 Markup  = 0.333

and

for group 2 Markup =  \frac{1}{- (-5) - 1}

group 2 Markup  = 0.25

and

price will be

price = ( 1 + markup) ×  Marginal cost     ...................2

group 1 price = ( 1 + 0.333 ) x 60

group 1 price = $79.98

and

group 2 price = ( 1 + 0.25 ) x 60

group 2 price = $75

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

-22.

There will be the decrease in price hence the supply curve shifts to the left.

Explanation:

So, it is given from the question above that the supply function for avocados is Q = 58 + 15p - 20p_f.

The p_f given in the question = $1.10 which is the price given for the fertilizer as it rises that is to say it rises at that amount.

If the price increases by $1.10, then we have a reduction of -( 20 × 1.10) = -22.

Kindly note that the negative sign denotes the reduction in supply. This reduction causes the supply curve to shift to the left.

The diagram for the supply curve Is given in the attached picture.

Kamila [148]
Jan. 1, 2013:
Initial investment = (100 shares)*($30/share) = $3,000.

End of 2013:
Dividend collected = ($2/share)*(100 shares) = $200

End of 2014:
Dividend collected = ($3/share)*(100 shares) = $300

End of 2015:
Dividend collected = ($4/share)*(100 shares) = $400

Returns::
 From sales of 100 shares = ($33/share)*(100 shares) = $3,300
 From dividends = 200 + 300 + 400 = $900
 Total returns = 3,300 + 900 = $4,200

Realized returns = Total returns - Initial inestment
                            = 4200 - 3000
                            = $1,200

ozzi

Explanation:

Therefore, it is correct to state that in a free enterprise system, the offer and demand of the consumer for a product or service that will be the determinant of the success or failure of an organization.

As an example of an entrepreneur, we can mention Steve Jobs, who created one of the largest technology companies in the world, Apple. The free enterprise system was one of the reasons for Apple to succeed in becoming one of the most valued companies in the world, due to the fact that it brought innovative products to the market that became examples of products of value to consumers, which made company to grow and become so successful in the market. If the company operated in a government-controlled market, it would probably have to follow specific rules and restrictions for the production of its products that could limit the company, and its performance could be restricted and not as innovative as the company in the market, which is one of the reasons why it achieved success.
