Answer:

b. Increase by $2.20

Explanation:

Economic Surplus is the total benefit to society from production.

If an additional unit is produced the additional cost will be $79.40 and it will the additional benefit of $81.60.

So the surplus = benefit - cost = $81.60 - $79.40 = $.2.20

They are marginal quantities (change made by additional unit) so everything has been taken into account for the deriving of change to surplus.

svp [43]

If AR is constant, MR is equal to AR. Both are indicated by the same horizontal straight line(a situation of perfect competition)

<h3>What is the marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm?</h3>
  • Marginal revenue for a company with perfect competition is the same as average revenue and pricing.
  • This suggests that at values bigger than the average variable cost, the firm's short-run supply curve is its marginal cost curve.
  • The company closes if the price falls below the average variable cost.

Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue when one more unit of a commodity is sold.

MR= change in TR/change in quantity sold

Average revenue refers to revenue per unit of output.

AR=TR/Q

Relationship between AR and MR:

If AR is constant, MR is equal to AR.

Both are indicated by the same horizontal straight line(a situation of perfect competition)

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

1. It is perfectly inelastic

Explanation:

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of demand to price change.

  • Elastic Demand > 1 ; implies demand changes proportionately more than price change
  • Inelastic Demand < 1 ; implies demand changes proportionately less than price change
  • Perfectly Elastic Demand  = ∞ ; implies demand changes infinitely to price change, so the prices are constant
  • Perfectly Inelastic Demand = 0 ; implies demand doesn't respond to price change, so quantity demanded is constant

Given : Seth body builder needs 12oz protein packet to 'feed his muscles' depicts that it is a necessity good to him. Being a necessity good, it would be demanded by Seth irrespective of price.

So, the demand is perfectly inelastic.
