Answer:

False

Explanation:

In a competitive market, if production (and consumption) continues until the marginal benefit of one more unit equals marginal cost, then total surplus is maximized.

As for any extra unit produced

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = Surplus

Marginal Benefit = Marginal cost = No Surplus / No loss

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = loss

When your Marginal benefit is maximum and Marginal cost is minimum then the surplus will be maximized.

Most efficient situation in which benefit is maximum and the cost is minimum results in maximized surplus.

Liula [17]

Answer:

a. 41.6 million

b. 42.28 million

Explanation:

A) GIven

forecast in june = Sjune = 42 million

Checks recived in june = Xjune = 40 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for july

Sjuly = a*Xjune + (1-a)*Sjune

=0.2*40 + (1-0.2)*42 million

=8+33.6 = 41.6 million

B) forecast in july = Sjuly = 41.6 million

Checks recived in july = Xjuly = 45 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for August

Saugust = a*Xjuly + (1-a)*Sjuly

=0.2*45 + (1-0.2)*41.6 million

=9+33.28 = 42.28 million

<em>Note: This uses an exponential smoothing to forecast the results, but from the number of checks recived we see that it increases linearly. So we need a linear forecasting method .</em>
