Answer:

A) QE = 400, PE = 250

     QW = 325, PW = 375

b) east market has more elastic market demand

Explanation:

Given data :

Marginal cost = $50 ( both markets )

demand and marginal revenue in each market are given differently

a) Determine/find the profit-maximizing price and quantity in each market

For east market :

50 = 450 - QE

hence QE = 450 -50 = 400

since QE = 400 ( quantity for east market )

400 = 900 - 2PE

PE = 250 ( PROFIT maximizing price for east market )

For west market

50 = 700 - 2QW

Hence QW = 325

since QW = 325

325 = 700 - pw

PW = 375

B) The market in which demand is more elastic is the east market because the quantity demanded is higher and also the profit maximizing price is lower as well

MissTica

Answer:

e. $225,000.

Explanation:

Since Bob Shockey pays interest as in accrues, the amount the  beneficiary will receive if he dies before the debt is repaid will be the cash value of his life insurance policy minus amount borrowed to send his daughter to private college. This can be calculated as follows:

Amount to receive by beneficiary = $250,000 - $25,000 = $225,000

Therefore, his beneficiary will receive $225,000.
