Answer:

The correct answer is D) An increase in market demand from D0 to D1

Explanation:

In a competitive market, there are enough firms so that no firm can influence prices significantly.

In such conditions, and holding all other variables constant, a increase in market price from P1 to P2 can only result from an increase in demand.

If more consumers want a product, and supply remains the same, the price of it will rise.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The gross profit is the difference betwenethe sales revenue and the cost of good sold/manufactured

for retail companys they determinate the cost using a given inventory method like FIFO LIFO or weighted average.

Manufacturing companies will subtract from the sales revenue the cost of good manufactured which can be determinated in various ways like process, order, absorption or ABC

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000

<h2>f'(x)=0</h2>

f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function  ad we get

f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />
