Cadillac is responding to one of the geographic demographic trends in the United States, which has been migration into the Sun Belt. Building a plant in Louisiana, which is in the Sun Belt, would greatly reduce transportation cost, compared to a plant in Michigan.
D
This is shown because when a item in demand is needed it becomes price and thus becomes lower of supply and gains value
Answer:
Options B and C are correct.
- Marginal profit is negative.
- Profit is positive.
Explanation:
At q = 150
R = 80q = 80(150) = 12,000
C = 0.002(150)3 + 22(150) + 750 = 6750 + 3300 + 750 = 10,800
R > C so first is incorrect.
MR = 80
MC = 0.006(150 x 150) + 22 = 135 + 22 = 157
MC > MR so B is correct.
Profit = TR - TC = 80(150) - 0.002(150)3 - 22(150) - 750 = 12000 - 10800 = 1200
Profit is positive.
Marginal profit = MR - MC = 80 - 157 = - 77
MR is Negative
Answer:
In the first range of prices (with PED 15 - 2.5) as the price of the good or service falls, total revenue should increase. Imagine that a 1% reduction in price will result in a 15% increase in quantity demanded. The same happens when PED = 2.5, since a 1% reduction will increase quantity demanded by 2.5%.
e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 115, total revenue = $11,385
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 102.5, total revenue = $10,147.50
On the other range (PED = 1.5 - 0.75) as the price of the good or service falls, at first total revenue will increase but then it will decrease.
e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 101.5, total revenue = $10,048.50
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 100.75, total revenue = $9,974.25
