<u>Explanation:</u>
Note, the term diminishing marginal utility refers to an economic principle that states that the more unit of a particular commodity or service we consume, the more the satisfaction (utility) derived out of the consumption reduces or diminishes.
For instance, if I watched movies produced by a particular entertainment company for several days (eg Disney Studios), I may become dissatisfied using this particular entertainment provider and may decide to try another service (Netflix).
Another instance could occur after exercising, I'm given 3 bottles of coke, after taking my first bottle, the amount of utility I derive would reduce until I get to the third bottle, at this point I've reached my peak.
The law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone I know who had used the same type of toothpaste and brushed her teeth at least once a day for a period of over 10 years.
Answer:
D. is imperfectly competitive, but not all imperfectly competitive markets are monopolistically competitive.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition may be seen as a variety of competition that determine the characteristics of variety of industries that are familiar to consumers in their day-to-day lives.

Answer: describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo.
b. include an apology at the end of the memo stating the inconveniences that could be caused due to the new policy.
c. present the rationale for the new policies at the memo's beginning.
d. highlight controversial issues, which could arise after the new policies have been implemented, in the memo.
From the question, we are informed that Rubina is the director of procurement at Baines Corporation and that she plans to send a memo to the employees in her department outlining some changes in the company's personnel policies as she believes that most of the employees will view the changes favorably.
Since she is of the opinion that most of the employees will view the changes favorably, she can describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo. This is because she believes the memo will get a favourable audience. In a situation whereby she is not sure if it will be favourable, in the begining of the memo, she may have to offer and apology and tell them the rationale behind the memo before going into further details.
Solution :
According to the theory of demand and supply, the equilibrium price and the quantity is established where both the demand and supply curves intersect.
From the graph, we can see that the point of equilibrium is at the intersection of D and S.
At this point, mathematically, D = S. In order to determine the price and quantity which exists at this point, we need to equate the demand as well as supply functions to calculate the equilibrium values.
∵ D is equal to S, we have
Now substituting this value of the equilibrium price in to any of the functions, we get the equilibrium quantity at this price.
This is the equilibrium quantity. At this point, equilibrium price as well as the quantity is the same. Let the price of the golf club increases from $120 to $140. So substituting the value to the function above to determine the new quantity.
= 100
Therefore, when the demanded quantity decreases from 120 thousand clubs to 100 thousand clubs. This increases the price and decreases the quantity as the supply curve moved to the left. The demand remains constant.
Answer:
a. is that the advertiser has no control over where the ad appears in the newspaper.
Explanation:
Run-of-paper (ROP) is another term for advertisement in the newspaper. The main feature of this type of advertisement is that it costs very low and the ad can be placed anywhere on the paper.
The ad is placed by the editors and publishers where they believe it would be best suited in the paper. This means that the advertisers have no control over where the ads are posted in the paper. The only option the advertisers have is to decide on the size of the ad.
