Explain why a profit maximizing business will continue to lower the price to increase sales until the marginal revenue (revenue

generated for each additional unit) equals the marginal cost (cost generated for each additional unit).
Business

4 0

Reason:

The price and demand relation helps in finding the position at which the demand of the product will be maximum which gives maximum profit at this point. But the marginal cost and marginal benefit relation gives a production point at which one extra unit produced will generate no value for the company. So this marginal cost and marginal revenue sets a limit for a maximum production at which the benefits generated are maximum. This means we have to stay maximum at the point at which the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost.

. (Pitman 3.4.9) Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n 2
Andrews [41]

Answer:

$6 per game

Explanation:

The probability of getting a head on a toss is given as 0.5 for a fair coin.

Therefore the expected number of times that the coin would be tossed to get the first head would be given as the expected value of the geometric distribution with parameter of p = 0.5. therefore the expected value here would be 1/0.5 = 2

Therefore, we expect to get 22 = 4 dollars but we paid initially $10, therefore in long run we expect to lose $6 per game.

An American-style call option with six months to maturity has a strike price of $35. The underlying stock now sells for $43. The
Travka [436]

Answer:

a) $8

b) $4

c) Decrease

Explanation:

Background.

A call option as you probably know, is an agreement to buy an asset on or before a particular day at a price already determined in the agreement.

a) the Intrinsic value of the option is the market price minus the strike price.

Intrinsic Value = Market Price - Strike price

= $43 - $35

= $8 per share.

It is worthy of note that for an option, of the intrinsic value dips into negative figures it is just said to be 0.

b) To calculate the time value, we subtract the intrinsic value from the call premium

= Call Premium - Intrinsic value

= $12 - $8

= $4

c) The call option has 6 months to maturity and the dividends are to come in 3 months. Share prices usually drop after a dividend has been paid so because the call option matures in 6 months, the price of the call option will DECREASE owing to the Expected drop in stock price.

Highlight the difference between progressive and regressive tax.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

A progressive tax system imposes taxes depending on income earned. The higher the income, the higher the tax rate. It means individuals and entities with a higher income with pay more taxes. A progressive tax system promotes equity by imposing higher taxes on the wealthy and lower taxes on the poor. The US income tax system is an example of a progressive tax.

A regressive tax system does not discriminate on income. It taxes all eligible taxpayers equally regardless of their income level. A regressive tax applies the same tax rate for everyone. Sale tax imposed on goods sold is an example of regressive tax. The regressive tax system takes a higher proposition of income from the low-income earners.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A food worker should use an ice scoop when retrieving ice from ice machine

Explanation:

The use of a scoop when retrieving ice from the ice machine helps to minimize the risk of ice being a source of food-borne disease.  More importantly, the food worker should ensure that his or her hands are clean and only hold the ice scoop by the handle.  

Both Canada and the US health guidelines, ice is classified as food. Some scientific research works have revealed that some viruses and bacteria can survive in freezing environments for a long time. Therefore, using an ice coop by a food worker ensures that ice is not contaminated.
