Answer:

<u>Monopoly</u>

P =      $20.00

Q = 10,000

<u>Socically Efficient:</u>

P = $16.80

Q = 14,000

The monopoly generates a deadthweight loss to maximize their gain.

In the socially efficient situation, there is no deadthweight loss threfore this makes the economy as a whole better.

Explanation:

Price = 28 - 0.0008Q

Marginal Cost  = 0.0012Q

Revenue: P x Q = (28 - 0.0008Q) x Q = 28Q - 0.0008Q²

Marginal Revenue:

R' = R(q) / dq = 28 -0.0016Q

We want to produce and sale until marginal revenue matches marginal cost:

28 -0.0016Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0028Q

Q = 28 / 0.0028 = 10,000

P = 28 - 0.0008 (10,000) =

P = 28 - 8 = 20.00

The social efficiency will be that Price equals Marginal Cost.

28 - 0.008Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0020Q

28 / 0.0020 = Q = 14,000

P = 28 - 0.0008(14,000) = 28 - 11.2 = 16,8

Suppose a huge increase in credit card frauds leads to many businesses refusing to accept payments by credit cards. As a result,
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Suppose a huge increase in credit card frauds leads to many businesses refusing to accept payments by credit cards. As a result, people want to keep more cash on hand, increasing the demand for money. Assume the Fed does not change the money supply. According to the theory of liquidity preference, the interest rate will __increase__ , which causes aggregate demand to__decrease_

If instead the Fed wants to stabilize aggregate demand, it should ___increase__ the money supply by _purchasing__ government bonds.

Explanation:

The economy's aggregate demand will increase as a result of the increased preference for liquidity leads to an increase in consumer spending, thereby increasing the Gross Domestic Product.  If the Fed increases the money supply in response to the increased preference for liquidity, it will cause a reduction in interest rates, thereby further increasing consumer spending.

Suppose that the market for candy canes operates under conditions of perfect competition, that it is initially in long-run equil
Monica [59]

Answer:

The answer is: $0.15

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive industry, the price of a good or service is always equal to the marginal revenue for the suppliers. In this case, the price for candy canes is $0.10.

If the price of candy canes' inputs increases by $0.05, then the new price of candy canes will be $0.15 ($0.10 + $0.05).

RE: Subaru While Japanese Yen sharply appreciated against US$, Subaru continued to manufacture most of their cars in Japan, then
Helen [10]

Answer:

Yen depreciated its value against US$

Explanation:

The reason was that the Japanese government has a free trade agreement with the United States and what happened was that the Yen appreciated against Dollars by which the Japanese companies might had suffered as the american products would have been imported more to the country because now they are cheaper than the Japanese cars, as a result the industry in the Japan would had suffered. So the government of japan set 115 Yen as apposed to 85 Yen against each dollars which resulted in increase in the demand of the manufacturing of the cars. Now the Japanese products were greater in demand because of they cost less. And at the year end 2015, the Sabaru reported $2 billion profit despite the fact that 80% of its production was in Japan. The american auto suffered loss of market by $2 Billion.

The country of Alaine produces​ 1,000 tons of corn during a year. It is valued at​ $500 per ton. A lobbyist for the corn industr
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

D. Corn is not used in the production of other goods.

Explanation:

D is the only option that can be an argument for the total value of the corn produced to be included as corn for the same year in the GDP.

This is due to the fact that only the final production is recorded in the GDP, this means that no goods are registered that are going to be part of other productive processes (generally raw materials) since double accounting would be incurred.

If for example, corn were part of another productive process and this productive process begins next year, that part of the corn used to produce that good would be included in the GDP of the year in which the product will be produced (the one that corn is used in the production).

This means that the lobbyist can only rely on option D (include all the value of corn for the year in which it was produced) if in this country the corn is not part of another productive process.
