monopoly seller of this drug. If the elasticity of demand for this new product is -4, what markup should your firm use to set the profit-maximizing price for the product?

Answer:

The markup calculated as a result of information about the elasticity of demand

Explanation:

As a monopoly seller of pharmaceutical products the price set as markup would be above our marginal cost.

There are three facts about markup:

1. The Markup is not to be a price below marginal cost of the pharmaceutical product.

2. Markup is smaller when demand is more elastic. Remember if the price elasticity of demand is lower than 1, (negative) a rise in price causes an

increase in revenue for the seller.

Therefore having a -4 elasticity of demand could imply more profits for the firm.

A famous quarterback just signed a contract for $18.6 million, providing $3.1 million a year for 6 years. A less famous receiver
barxatty [35]

Answer:

a) The PV of the quarterback's contract is 13.91 million

b) The PV of the receiver's contract is 14.42 million .

c) The Receiver is better paid  

Explanation:

a)

PV of quarterback

= 3.1/1.09 + 3.1/1.09^2 + 3.1/1.09^3 + 3.1/1.09^4 + 3.1/1.09^5 + 3.1/1.09^6

= 3.1/0.09*(1 - (1/1.09)^6)

= 13.91 million

Therefore, The PV of the quarterback's contract is 13.91 million .

b)

PV of receiver's contract

= 5 + 2.1/1.09 + 2.1/1.09^2+2.1/1.09^3+2.1/1.09^4+2.1/1.09^5+2.1/1.09^6

= 5 + 2.1/0.09*(1 - (1/1.09)^6)

= 14.42 million

Therefore, The PV of the receiver's contract is 14.42 million .

c) Since the PV of the quarterback's contract is less than the PV of the receiver's contract, The Receiver is better paid.

If you cannot make a tax payment in full, what is the BEST next step to take?
alexira [117]

Answer:

Contact the IRS to see if there is a payment plan that works for you.

Explanation:

In a situation where someone determines that they cannot pay the tax liability, it is advisable to still file the tax return by the stipulated deadline. Additionally, contact the Internal Revenue Services(IRS) and explain your situation; they most likely have other payment plans that would work for you. Ignoring the tax bill and hoping that IRS will overlook it can lead to penalty; this might be very costly.
