Answer:

Monopoly

Explanation:

Citrus county concrete company is the only supplier of mixed concrete to customers within a thirty-mile radius.

"A monopoly exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular good. As a result, monopolies are characterized by a lack of competition within the market producing a good or service."

"A monopolistic competitive industry has the following features:

  Many firms.

   Freedom of entry and exit.

   Firms produce differentiated products.

   Firms have price inelastic demand; they are price makers because the good is highly differentiated

   Firms make normal profits in the long run but could make supernormal profits in the short term

   Firms are allocatively and productively inefficient."

Variable selling expenses per unit = $390,600/81,800 = $4.77506

Additional selling expense per unit = $6.37506 ($4.77506 + $1.60)

Assume that microbrewery beer is a normal good. Prices of microbrewery beer have risen steadily in recent years. Over this same​
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Microbrewery beer is a normal good. Its prices have increased recently in recent years. The prices for fermenting vats used in beer have also risen and the consumer income has fallen.  

Since beer is a normal good an increase in its price and decrease in the consumer income will decrease its demand. As a result, the demand curve will move to the left, decreasing the price of the product.  

At the same time, the increase in the price of fermenting vats will increase the cost of producing beer. This will cause the supply of beer to decrease.  

This will cause the supply curve to shift to the left. If the leftward shift in the supply curve is more than the leftward shift in demand, the price of beer will increase.
