Answer:

a.

FALSE

<em>The argument above is in part inaccurate. In the long run, the monopoly dominant firms gain no economic profit at the profit generating production as their LRAC= LRAR at. </em>

The firm is not effective economically (productively) though.

A monopolistically dominant firm is not successful effective because it does not achieve the average cost curve at the minimum level. The difference between supply and supply of the equilibrium at the minimum average cost is called overcapacity.

b.

FALSE

The monopolist has the power to make the price to maximize the profit. The monopolist, however, always has to respect demand rule of law. Its AR-curve is a sloping downward curve.

<em>It indicates that if the monopolist decides to increase production, he will have to lower the price. It shows that to increase income, the monopolist can set its price but can not set any price.</em>

c.

FALSE

The shut down point for reasonably competitive firms is Price= AVC.

When the price falls below the average cost of the product, otherwise the business must shut off.

<em>Otherwise, the business must continue to manufacture until the price falls below the average cost of the product. It will still deliver, even if the average income or price is below the average output.</em>

Answer:

The answer is a) True, (b) False, (c) True

Explanation:

A) In the long run, a monopolistically competitive firm will make zero economic profit. This is as a result of the amount of influence the firm has over the  market because of brand loyalty, it can raise its prices without losing all of its customers.

(B) In order to maximize profits, the monopoly in equilibrium would be producing at an output level where marginal revenue be equal to marginal cost (MR = MC).

(C) If the price falls below average variable cost, then the firm is better off shutting production in the short run. By producing any output, it does not generate enough revenue to cover variable cost let alone any fixed cost.

There are two terms consistently used when describing firewalls: stateful and stateless. A stateless firewall surveys all the tr
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A stateful firewall surveys all the traffic for a particular connection and investigates the packets containing the data to seek out sequences and patterns that are incongruent.

A stateless firewall examines each packet on a case-by-case basis and it does not have any prior information and avoids making predictions of what should come next.

Hence, the assertion in the question is false.

You have $106,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect
Helga [31]

Answer:  ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)

                   16 = 13(1-WY)  + 9(WY)

                    16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY

                    16 = 13 - 4WY

                   4WY = 13-16

                   4WY = -3

                     WY = -3/4

                     WY = -0.75

                     WX = 1 - WY

                     WX = 1 - (-0.75)

                     WX = 1 + 0.75

                     WX = 1.75

 The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000

                                                                    = -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:

                     BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)

                     BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)

                     BP = 1.995 - 0.63

                     BP = 1.365

Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.

Odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. They have a difference of 2 between every two numbers.
