A: they generally take in more premiums than they pay out
Answer:
raises;larger;decrease;always.
Explanation:
Consider the relationship between monopoly pricing and the price elasticity of demand. If demand is inelastic and a monopolist raises its price, quantity would fall by a larger percentage than the rise in price, causing profit to decrease. Therefore, a monopolist will always produce a quantity at which the demand curve is elastic because he or she will be maximizing profits.
A monopolistic market is a type of market structure that is typically characterized by a single supplier or seller of a particular product without any competition from any other in the market. The features of a monopolistic market are;
- Single seller.
- Profit maximizer.
- Price maker.
- High barriers to entry for others.
- Price discrimination.
- No close substitutes or competition.

Explanation:
Underperforming restaurants are those restaurants which does not perform well. The restaurant does not run properly and no people or less people visits the restaurant for eating.
This can be due to several factors. The restaurant's location may not be good, the restaurant may not provide good quality and tasty food, or people might not find their required menu in that restaurant. All these factors leads to less people visiting the restaurant and less revenue generation.
In such a case, the owner of the restaurant must sell the restaurant to some other party so that he does not undergo any losses. By selling the property he will get some amount of his investment which he could utilize in his further projects.
Also by selling the restaurant, the employees of that restaurant will not go out of job and can feed their family.
So, the restaurant should be sold.
Answer:
Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.
Explanation:
This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.
For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.
In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.
Answer: c. Debt Service Fund and General Fund
Explanation:
The Sinking fund is a Debt Service Fund as it was created to retire some general obligation bonds. Every transaction that had to do with the retirement of debt as well as contribution to the retirement of debt would go in this account.
The General fund is also needed because this is the main fund of a Government entity. Everything that does not go through special funds is recorded here. This Fund therefore would show that the city made a $550,000 contribution to the sinking fund.
