Answer:

200 units

Explanation:

Perfect Competition are many firms selling similar products at same prices. So, constant prices imply that their marginal revenue = average revenue = price.

Monopoly is single seller of products. Their MR curve is below their AR curve. And, it is also twice steeper than AR (demand) curve, because it has double slope then that.

So, perfect competition is at equilibrium where MC = (MR = AR = P). However monopoly's optimum output is where MR = MC, & the optimal price is found by corresponding point at higher AR (demand) curve.

Given that MC curve is constant : Monopoly's output will be half  perfect competition output, as per above explanation. So, if monopoly is producing 200 less than perfect competitive output. Being it half the perfect competition output, it could be producing output = 200 currently.

Which statement explains a proportional tax system?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The tax rate is the same for all income levels.

Explanation:

A proportional tax system is a tax mechanism that applies equal rates to all income brackets. This system does not segregate based on income earned. The proportional tax system is also the flat rate system.

Since the proportional tax system applies the same rate to all taxpayers, it means that the low income, middle, and high-income earners pay tax at the same rate. The proportional tax system contrasts with other methods, such as the progressive tax system that considers income levels.

Kay Company budgets overhead cost of $4,104,000 for the next year. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocatio
Kobotan [32]

Based on the fact that Kay Company will use direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base, the overhead for a product with 5 labor hours is $228.

<h3>What is the overhead assigned to the product?</h3>

This can be found as:

= Total overhead cost / Number of labor hours x Product labor hours

Solving gives:

= 4,104,000 / 90,000 x 5

= 45.6 x 5

= $228

If the government uses tax money to pay for long-term investments such as roads or other infrastructure, what happens to the eco
coldgirl [10]

Is this a theory type of question?

If it is and if it took place under president Calvin Coolidge then taxes likely would have gone up.

If you are talking about now, then investment might go up but in order to pay for it, the government will just print more money, so that taxes shouldn't go up.

A firm currently produces 3,500 units of output per week. After an additional worker is hired, output rises to 3,750 units per w
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

C. $2

Explanation:

The marginal cost is the cost for producing an additional unit of the product. According to this and as the statement says that with the additional worker the output rises to 3,750, teh first thing is to find the number of additional units that were produced:

3,750-3500= 250

With the new worker, the firm produces an additional 250 units that cost $500 because this is the salary of the new worker and to calculate the cost of one additional unit you have to do the following:

250 units ⇒ $500

     1 unit  ⇒      x

x=( 1*500)/250= 2

The firm's short-run marginal cost is $2.

A product that sells today for $150 per unit is expected to escalate in price by 6% in year one, 8% in year two and 10% in year
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

<u>     selling price at year 3:</u> $ 188.89

<u>at constant dollar year 3:</u> $  167.94

Explanation:

selling price x accumualte raises:

150 \times (1+0.06) \times (1+0.08) \times (1+0.10)

150 \times 1,25928‬

selling price: 188,892

now, to calculate the constante dollar we discount for inflation:

188.892 \div ((1+0.03) \times (1+0.04) \times (1+0.05))

188.892 \div 1,12476‬

constant dollar selling price: 167,9398271‬
