Answer:
d. the firm will lose $750
Explanation:
marginal cost is the derivate of the cost function: It represent the cost of producting an additional unit
cost: 750 + 5q
dC/dQ = 5
We have determinate that marginal cost is $5 thus, we should price at the same value. The mistake from the goverment is to equalize marginal cost with price instead of marginal revenue.
This will make the firm loss the fixed component of the cost as will sale to pay up the variable cost.
The fixed cost is $750 so that is the loss from operations
Answer:
The benefit cost ratio is 1.564
Explanation:
The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the present value of benefits to the present value of costs. It is thus calculated as follows.
Benefit-cost ratio = Present value of benefits / Present value of costs
Present value of costs = $20,000 + $2,500 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)
= $20,000 + $15,361
= $35,361
Present value of benefits = $9,000 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)
= $9,000 x 6.145
= $55,305
Benefit-cost ratio = $55,305 / $35,361
= 1.564
Answer:
Substitutes
Explanation:
The education services at the two universities are substitutes to each other. The cross price elasticity of substitute goods is positive which indicates that as the price of one good increases then as a result the demand for other good increases and if the price of one good decreases then as a result the demand for other good decreases.
Now, if there is an increase in the tuition fees at University A, hence, this will increase the price of educational services at University A. Therefore, this will lead to an increase in the demand for educational services at University B.
Answer:
a) $231,468.30
b) $209,259.56
c) 9.59%
Explanation:
a) to calculate FV, n=6,I=10, pv=0 and pmt=30000
b) to calculate effect of inflation On FV
N=6, I =6 (nominal interest less inflation), pv=0 and pmt=30000
c) [(231468.30-209259.56)/231468.30]x100
