Answer:

25

Explanation:

Let number of passengers greater than 20 be 'x'

thus,

the total number of passengers = 20 + x

and,

the total cost = $60 - $2x

now,

The revenue function will become as:

R(x) = cost × Number of passengers

or

R(x) = ( 60 - 2x ) × ( 20 + x )

or

R(x) = 1200 + 60x - 40x - 2x²

or

R(x) = 1200 + 20x - 2x²

Now,

for point of maxima, differentiating w.r.t 'x'

we have

R'(x) = 20 - 4x = 0

or

x = 5

Hence,

the ideal number of passenger is 20 + x = 20 + 5 = 25

Which of the following is NOT a necessary condition for oligopoly? differentiated products barriers to entry strategic dependenc
stepladder [879]

Answer:

differentiated products.

Explanation:

An oligopoly occurs when a few large firms dominate a market and they aim to maximise profit. The action of one firm has significant effect on the market, so the firm's are interdependent.

There are high barriers to entry including use of government liscences, patents, economies of scale, and actions taken by firms to discourage entry into the market.

However differentiation of products is not a necessary condition for oligopoly. Products can be homogenous or differentiated.
