Answer: It is reasonable to assume that a profit-maximizing firm will never operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve.
Explanation:
It should be noted that a firm that profit maximizing will not operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve because at that point, the firm isn't maximizing profit.
When there's an inelastic demand, an increase in price will bring about a less than proportionate reduction in the quantity of the goods that's demanded. In such case, if the firm operates at the inelastic portion of its demand curve, when it increases price, this will lead to a reduction in income and profit will not be maximize.
Answer:
Attached below are the graphs
Explanation:
i) The Equilibrium wage rate in the market is determined by the Intersection of the labor demand and supply curve as seen in the graph attached
ii) The Labor supply curve the firm faces is perfectly elastic in a perfectly competitive resource market
iii) The demand curve of the firm is perfectly elastic because in competitive market a slight change in price will cause a massive change in demand
iv) The firm will continue hiring as long as MRP ≥ MFC
( MRP = marginal revenue product , MFC = marginal factor cost )
Answer:
Total actual utilisation = 1,710 unit
Explanation:
Given:
Design capacity = 1,900 units
Effective capacity = 90%
Actual output = 1,500 units
Total utilisation = ?
Computation of Actual unit utilise:
Total actual utilisation = Design capacity x Effective capacity
Total actual utilisation = 1,900 x 90%
Total actual utilisation = 1,900 x 0.9
Total actual utilisation = 1,710 unit
Answer: 10.5%
Explanation:
As i is the one-year forward rate, it can be calculated thus:
= (1 + Two-year maturity rate)² / ( 1 + one-year maturity rate) - 1
= (1 + 9.5)²/ (1 + 8.5%) - 1
= 10.5%
