Answer:

D

Explanation:

If the cost function C is continuous and differentiable, the marginal cost  MC is the first derivative of the cost function with respect to the output quantity Q:

MC(Q)= dC/ dQ.

The marginal cost can be a function of quantity if the cost function is non-linear. If the cost function is not differentiable, the marginal cost can be expressed as follows:

MC=^C/^Q

where ^  denotes an incremental change of one unit.

Suppose there is a simultaneous increase in demand and decrease in supply, what effect will this have on the equilibrium price?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Although the impact on the equilibrium quantity cannot be determined, a rise in demand and a decrease in supply will result in an increase in the equilibrium price. 1. Consumers now place a higher value on goods, and producers must charge a higher price to offer the goods; as a result, prices will rise for all quantities.

If demand increases at the same time as supply increases, as is the case in the scenario depicted, the new equilibrium price will be greater than the initial equilibrium price.

We therefore know that an increase in supply decreases equilibrium price and increases quantity, while a rise in supply increases equilibrium price and decreases quantity (and vice versa) (and vice versa).

Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, ______________________________ will push
Alona [7]

Answer:

Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, <u>competition in the labor market</u> will push wage rates toward the marginal revenue product of labor.

Explanation:

The labor market is made up of employers seeking for labor and employees offering their labor services. The law of supply and demand also applies to this market, when more employers are seeking employees, the price (= salary) will increase.

For example, if many companies are making a  profit and they need more labor, the salaries will rise because the demand is rising.

Also the suppliers, the potential employees, compete against each other for the best possible jobs.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand

Explanation:

When there is recession the price of the factor goes down and with that, the insufficient demand for a certain good or services is eliminated. The reasoning is that the decrease in prices stimulates demand and adjust the market.

Keynes among other economist consider that unemployment increase during recessions because the nominal wages rate do not fall. As the union and worker do not want to see their wage decrease. Same is applied to prices which makes then inflexible in a downward direction.

While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"

Hece option A is the only one which is true
