Answer:

Social cost of market failure

Explanation:

Market failure is an economic situation in which an imperfection in the market mechanism prevents an optimal outcome.

The $1 billion cost of lead contamination intended for the medical care of those sickened by lead, plumbing repairs and reduced earnings of those affected is called social cost of market failure.

Whenever external benefits and costs exist, the market will not produce at the optimal outcome leading to social cost of market failure by an organization.

External costs are costs that are imposed without compensation on a third party.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The result of K's inaction causes an increase in the outstanding loan by $50

Explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the interest amount</em>

The interest amount can be determined as follows;

I=PRT

where;

I=interest amount

P=principal amount

R=annual interest rate

T=time

In our case;

I=unknown

P=$1,000

R=5%=5/100=0.05

T=1 year

replacing;

I=1,000×0.05×1=$50

<em>Step 2: Determine the total loan amount</em>

This can be expressed as;

A=P+I

where;

A=total loan amount

P=principal amount

I=interest amount

In our case;

A=unknown

P=$1,000

I=$50

replacing;

A=1,000+50=1,050

The loan amount due after a year=$1,050

The result of K's inaction causes an increase in the outstanding loan by $50

kramer

Answer:

a. The supplier has more bargaining power than the firm.

Explanation:

This is an example of one of Porters' five forces. The supplier has a monopoly and thus entertains a high market share. This means that the supplier has more bargaining power than the firm as if the firm wants the ceramic there are no alternative options available for the firm; however, if the firm does not want supplies, the supplier can find plenty of firms that may need the ceramic thus making supplier more powerful than the firm.

Hope that helps.

For a perfectly competitive firm, which of the following is not true at profit maximization?a. Total revenue minus total cost is
topjm [15]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Market price is greater than marginal cost.

In a perfectly competitive market, there are large number of buyers and sellers. So, price is determined by the market forces.

At a point of profit maximization, price is equal to the marginal cost and we have to maximize the difference of the total revenue and total cost. It was not seen in a perfectly competitive market that the price is above the marginal cost at a profit maximizing point.

Therefore, option (d) is not true.
