Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": A.C. Pigou thought that advertising by monopolistically competitive firms will not have any net effect in the market.
Explanation:
English economists Arthur Cecil Pigou (1877-1959) in his book "<em>The Economics of Welfare</em>" (1920) where he stated expenses on advertisement by firms in monopolistic competition neutralize one another as if the advertisement had never been promoted. This is because products under those market schemes are so different one from another that advertising itself does not generate a big impact on consumer patterns.
Pigou is also known for his work on the <em>welfare economy, business cycles, </em>and <em>unemployment.</em>

Answer:
Payback is 19 months
Explanation:
It is a capital budgeting problem. Firm has invested in TQM's Channel Support systems of $1,500,000. It will increase demand of product by 1.7%.
$166385985 x1.7071. = $166389948
Last years sales revenue was $163,608,638. A 1.7% increase will mean the saleswill be -
$166385985- $163608638 = 2781347
Thus increase in sales revenue is-
Now consider contribution margin. From total sales direct variable costs are deducted to get total contribution. It is 34.2% . So extral contribution due to 1.7% increase in sales is-
$2781347 x 34/2%= $95122
Thus increase in contribution margin will also increase profit to the same extent as there is no addition in fixed cost due to this project. So firm will be able to recover $951,221of initial investment of $1,500,000 in one year. Pay back is the time required to recover this full initial investment. It ascertained by dividing $1,500,000 amount by the net addition in profit per year. Answer is-
1,500,000+ 951221= 1.6759yrs x12months= 19months
This is ab example of a price floor. It is price that set by the government as a minimum price that would be imposed on a product. This value should be higher than that of the equilibrium price to be effective. It is used in order to prevent the prices to be too low.
Complete Question:
You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced. The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part. You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts. The plant operates 8 hours per day.
What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?
Answer:
The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Set up time per batch = 10 minutes
Processing time per part = 2 minutes
Batch sizes = 50 parts
Plant operation = 8 hours per day
b) Capacity in batches per day:
Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes
Total minutes of operation per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes
Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches
c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch. Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day. These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.
