Answer:

C. the firm should reduce production.

Explanation:

Marginal revenue is defined as the additional profit that a business makes from the sale of extra unit of a product.

If marginal revenue is more than marginal cost the business is making profit and it should increase production. This will increase profit.

However if the marginal revenue is less than the marginal cost, it means the business is making a loss. The best action is to reduce level of production up to the point where marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The correct option is c. $8.

Explanation:

Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:

MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)

Where;

MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3

Price of Sprite = $1 per can

From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3

Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:

Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8

Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.
