Answer: idle production capacity
Explanation:
Idle capacity refers to the remaining amount of capacity that is left in a company when both the productive and the protective capacity have been removed from consideration.
Since the plane has a capacity of 120 passengers but he has averaged only 24 passengers, a load factor of 20 percent. Once the plane takes off, the other 96 seats generate no sales and profits to the airline for that flight, then the unique aspect of services does this situation describe idle production capacity.
Monopolistic competition refers to a type of economy where there is only one organization in the market. Therefore, the influence of competitors is non-existent and the consumer has little influence over price or output.
In this case, price and output are determined by the firm's equilibrium price and output, not the market.
Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
The monthly total revenue is $5,000.
The marginal cost of producing 19th, 20th and 21st unit is $200.
Laura will earn profit if the price is able to cover marginal cost.
Total revenue is the product of price and quantity.
Price of cake when Laura produces 19 units
= 
= 
= $263.15
Price of cake when Laura produces 20 units
=
= 
= $250
Price of cake when Laura produces 21 units
=
=
= $238.09
So we see that the price is able to cover marginal cost till 21st units, so Laura should produce more than 20 units and go on producing till price becomes equal to marginal cost.
Answer:
Explanation:
Assume the initial invest at the beginning is $100.
The investment at end of year 4 is:
100 x 1.16 x 1.11 x 1.1 x 1.1 = 155.80
a) CAGR over the 4 years = (155.8 / 100 ) ^ (1/4) = 11.72%
b) Average annual return over 4 years = (16% +11% + 10% +10%) /4 = 11.75%
c) Since the returns over the 4 year period are not much volatile, average annual return is a better measure.
If the investment's returns are independent and identically distributed, Average annual return will be the better measure because there is no correlation between returns over the years and thus there is no point to take into consideration the compounding effect by using CAGR.
