Suppose your firm develops a new pharmaceutical product that may be used to reduce blood cholesterol levels, so the firm is the

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.

ritical analysis Q10 Suppose that unexpectedly rapid growth in real income abroad leads to a sharp increase in the demand for Am
mash [69]

Answer:

Output and employment will increase exerting modest upward pressure on the price level.      

Explanation

In simple words, the increased demands for the good would work as an incentive for the producer to produce more and they can also lower their cost of production by producing in mass which will further lead to economies of scale.

More production means more requirement of workers which will eventually lead to more employment opportunities in the country. However, this increase   would lead to modest increase in prices due to more purchaser power in the country.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The statement that says that in the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task is false because the effort is the time a person needs to finish a task while the duration is the period of time that a person has to finish it. For example, an employee has a task that takes forty hours of work to finish it but he has a month to do it. In this case, the effort is forty hours but the task duration is one month.
