Answer:

Marginal cost is defined as the additional cost incurred in adding a unit of product or service.

Marginal benefit is defined as the additional satisfaction or utility that the individual receives from consuming the added unit of product or service.

In every endeavor, we weigh the benefit and cost of a certain product, course of action or service. We aim to get the most out of every product or decision. We are driven to reach maximum profit at a minimum cost. Thus, when the marginal cost is greater than the marginal benefit, people will do less of an activity because it is not profitable.

Answer:

Income difference= $8,250

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual salary= $25,000 per year

MBA salary= $35,000 per year.

Inflation rate= 5 percent.

We will separate the analysis. First, we will calculate the nominal increase. Then, the real increase based on purchasing power.

In nominal terms, the increase in income is equal to the difference between salaries.

Income increase= 35,000 - 25,000= $10,000 increase.

In real terms, we need to calculate the effect of inflation on your purchasing power.

Actual income= $25,000

MBA income= 35,000*0.95= $33,250

Income difference= $8,250

In other terms, the real purchasing power of the MBA income decreases. Therefore, the difference today between real salaries is lower than the nominal difference.

Answer:

Price elasticity of demand = 2.6

Explanation:

Given:

Old price (P0) = $70

New price (P1) = $60

Old sales (Q0) = 10,000 units

New sales (Q1) = 15,000 units

Computation of Price elasticity of demand(e):

Midpoint method

$e=\frac{\frac{Q1-Q0}{\frac{Q1+Q0}{2} } }{\frac{P1-P0}{\frac{P1+P0}{2} } }$

By putting the value:

$e=\frac{\frac{10,000-15,000}{\frac{10,000+15,000}{2} } }{\frac{60-70}{\frac{60+70}{2} } }\\e=\frac{\frac{-5,000}{\frac{25,000}{2} } }{\frac{-10}{\frac{130}{2} } }\\$

$e=\frac{\frac{-5,000}{12,500} }{\frac{-10}{65} }$

e = 2.6
