Answer:

A) the marginal benefits are greater than the marginal costs.

Explanation:

When you are trying to evaluate an investment project, marginal benefits and marginal costs are actually incremental benefits and incremental costs.

Incremental benefits are the benefits that a company earns by taking a particular action or making a particular decision, always compared to not taking that particular action or making that decision.The same applies to incremental costs.

So a good manager should decide to invest or not in a certain investment project if the revenues that the project will generate are greater than its costs, and are greater than the benefits that could be generated by other similar investments (opportunity cost).

A cbs news/new york times poll found that 329 out of 763 randomly selected adults said they would travel to outer space in their

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

0.339 < p < 0.461

Explanation:

Given data:

confidence interval is 92%

Randomly selected adults = 329

Total number of adults is 763

$\alpha = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08$

$\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.08}{2} = 0.04$

for alpha = 0.04

z value is = 1.75

$p = \frac{329}{763} = 0.43$

$= p \pm z \times \sqrt{\frac{p \times (1-p)}{N}$

$= 0.43 \pm 1.75 \tiimes \sqrt{\frac{0.43 \times0.57)}{763}$

$=0.43 \pm 0.031$

0.339 < p < 0.461

Game theory suggests that competing firms in an oligopolistic industry may be

alina1380 [7]

Game theory suggests that competing firms in an oligopolistic industry may be reluctant to change prices because they anticipate that rivals will match price cuts but ignore price increases.

<h3>What is Game theory?</h3>

Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.

Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing. Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

Here are the options:

. too quick to raise prices because they will fail to anticipate that rivals may gain market shares.

b. reluctant to change prices because they anticipate that rivals will match price cuts but ignore price increases

c. reluctant to change prices because they anticipate that rivals will ignore price cuts but match price increases

d. too quick to cut prices because they fail to anticipate that rivals may also cut their prices.

3. Lesley bought 4 bags of pretzels and 2 boxes of granola bars for $13.50. Landon bought 1 bag of pretzels and 5 boxes of grano

velikii [3]

Answer:

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars

We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50

And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55

We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55

We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.

2y-20y=13.50-70.2

-18y=-56.7

y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars

Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.

x+5*3.15=17.55

x+15.75=17.55

x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels

Problem 4.

Let w = number of wood bats sold

Let m = number of metal bats sold

From sales information we have: w + m = 23

24w+30m=606

Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.

24*(23-m)+30m=606

552-24m+30m=606

6m=54

m=9 = number of metal bats sold

Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
