Answer: P =$50

Q= 25

Explanation: P= 100-2Q

P= 2Q

To get the quantity supplied Q, we have to educate both equations

100-2Q=2Q, 100=2Q+2Q

100=4Q, Q=100/4 , Q=25

To get the equilibrium price we have to substitute the value of Q which is 25 into any of the equation.

Using equation 1

P=100-2Q, P=100-2(25)

P=100-50, P=$50.

If the price is controlled at $60, then the production pays the producer this is because a commodity is not expected to be sold at the equilibrium price, price flooring is a way that government or a group control the market price of a commodity or produce by imposing a particular price on it. This is to ensure that the producers are not at loss with their production, a price floor is always higher than the equilibrium price to be effective as seen in the example given above, price floor is $60 while equilibrium price is $50.

An example of a price floor for services can be seen in the minimum wage stated by the government this is to ensure that people's services are not misused anyhow.

Price flooring most times can lead to surplus quantity produced if consumers are not willing to pay the price, because the producer will be wiling to produce more in order to make more profit.

Oscar owns a building that is destroyed in a hurricane. His adjusted basis in the building before the hurricane is $130,000. His
damaskus [11]

Answer:

That is $2,000 loss

Explanation:

After the hurricane Oscar received $140,000 for his loss, the adjusted basis for his property was $130,000 so he had a gain of 140,000- 130,000=$10,000.

According to Sec. 1033(a)(2) since the new property that was built (the replacement) was similar we will recognise the amount received from the insurance company ($140,000) to the extent that it pays for the replacement property.

That is

Gain or loss = amount paid by insurance company- cost of replacement property

Gain or loss= 140,000- 142,000

Gain or loss= -$2,000

That is $2,000 loss

Economic efficiency requires that a natural monopoly's price be: Select one: A. equal to marginal cost where it intersects the d
slavikrds [6]

Answer: A. equal to marginal cost where it intersects the demand curve

Explanation:

In a pure competition, the market is efficient because it balances demand and supply and gives an equilibrium price that takes both of them into account.

In this market, the price is equal to the marginal revenue of a firm and the profit maximizing level of production is where the marginal revenue intersects the marginal cost.

The efficient level is therefore where price equals marginal cost. The same goes for a natural monopoly. If economic efficiency is to be achieved, the natural monopoly's price must equal the marginal cost at the equilibrium price.
