Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

Since marginal cost is zero in this case. Cartel will select the output such that MR=0

We observe that MR=0 at Q=2000 units

Corresponding price for a output of 2000 units is $1.50

So,

Output of each firm=q=Q/2=2000/2=10000

Profit of each firm=P*q-total cost=1.5*1000-0=$1500

So,

Profit for Quick Buch=$1500

Profit for Pushy Sales=$1500

Since Quick buck reduces the price to $1, it will capture the whole quantity demanded

Total quantity demanded at price of $1=3000

Profit for quick buck=P*Q-Total Cost=1*3000-0=$3000

Profit for Pushy Sales=P*Q-Total Cost=1.5*0-0=$0

Market research is used to gather information needed to make business decisions.
love history [14]

Answer:

You need to pay for research data before you talk to any customer

Explanation:

In a lean startup approach, startup companies will gather customers feedback regarding their product and devise their plan based on those feedbacks rather than based on their own intuition.

Even though there are methods that we can use to obtain customers' feedback that require payments (such as purchasing the data from social media ), this isn't always necessary.

One thing that a company can do to obtain customers feedback without paying is to do direct outreach to the customers by sending them emails with their opinion about the products or by creating an online forum specifically for the customers to talk about the product.

An economic system that operates mainly on private transactions where firms are free to make their own production, distribution
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Market economy

Explanation:

There are three predominant economic system; <u>market economy, command economy and mixed economy. </u>

  1. In Market economy individuals and firms are free to make their own choices. There is no regulatory authority that is monitoring the system. Firms can produce whatever they want and sell it at whatever price they desire. This idea of free market was first suggested by economist Adam Smith. Firms will only manufacture goods that market demands, even if they are dangerous to the society e.g. cannabis and LSD. If the demand exists and firms can make profit, they will produce it regardless of its impact on the society.
  2. Command economy is heavily monitored by government. Government decide what to produce, how much to product and for whom to produce. The price is fix for every product. For example, if the price of cheese is set at $10 per pound, everyone will get it for $10. There is no concept of private ownership and everything is owned by the government.
  3. Mixed economy, also known as traditional economy is a combination of above two types. There is private as well as public ownership. Firms can produce goods, but they will follow laws and regulations (firms can't make and sell LSD to teenagers). The government provide healthcare, education and protect consumers from private institutions.  

The question deals with a situation where there is no government intervention. The firms are free to make their own production, distribution and pricing decisions. Hence, it’s a market economy.
