Suppose that the manager of a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market has estimated the average variable cost function

to be: AVC = 4.0 - 0.0024Q + 0.000006Q2 Fixed costs are $500. If the forecasted price of the firm’s output is $4.00, how much output will the firm produce in the short run (round to the nearest unit)?

Answer:

267 output

Explanation:

The computation of the output produced in the short run is shown below:

As it is given that

AVC i.e average variable cost function = 4.0 - 0.0024Q + 0.000006Q^2

And,

FC i.e fixed cost = $500.

Plus we know that

Total variable cost i.e TVC = AVC × Q i.e Quantity

So,

AVC × Q = TVC

= 4Q - 0.0024Q^2 + 0.000006Q^3

And,

The total cost = Total variable cost + Fixed cost

So,

TC = TVC + FC

= 4Q-.0024Q^2 + .000006Q^3 +$500.

And, the MC i.e marginal cost is

= Total cost  ÷ Quantity

MC = 4 - 0.0048Q + 0.000018Q^2

MC = 4

So,

Price = MC i.e 4

4 - .0048Q + .000018Q^2 = 4

So after solving this Q is 266.67 i.e 267 output

For a risk averse person, a. the pleasure of winning $1,000 on a bet exceeds the pain of losing $1,000 on a bet. b. the pain of
kompoz [17]

Answer:

B. the pain of losing $1,000 on a bet exceeds the pleasure of winning $1,000 on a bet.

Explanation:

A risk averse person is an individual or person rather who prefers lower returns with known risk than higher returns with unknown or higher risks. In this case, the individual prioritizes preservation of capital at hand over the potential of a more than average return. In this scenario, for a risk averse individual, the pain of losing $1,000 on a bet exceeds the pleasure of winning $1,000 on a bet based on the high uncertainty attached to winning the $1000 bet.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

C. The equipment should be recorded at $2,000 in the accounting records because that was the exchange price.

Explanation:

The equipment should simply be recorded at $2,000. For example, if it was paid in cash, the journal entry would be:

Account                      Debit           Credit

Equipment                $2,000

Cash                                                $2,000

The fact that it would cost $4,000 to replace it does not mean that it will be replaced. It is only a hypothetical scenario that should not be recorded in the accounting journal, because it does not reflect economic reality.

Access to lifesaving medicine is very limited in parts of Africa; as a result, over 10% of children do not reach the age of five
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Some African countries have mortality rates over 10%. For example, according to the most recent CIA estimates, in countries like Somalia, Central African Republic, Niger and Chad, there are around 90 deaths per 1,000 live births, which is a lot.

This extremely high mortality rate affects economic growth in the long run. First of all, most economists agree that human capital is the most important form of capital, and the one that helps boost economic growth the most.

Every child who dies is potential human capital loss (and a moral tragedy as well).

If medical aid increased in those African countries, and less children died at a young age, those children would help develop the economies. However, education is also needed. If the children survive but are not well-educated, they will not be very productive in the modern economy, which is knowledge-oriented.
