Answer:
The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.
Explanation:
That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.
So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.
However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.
Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.
Answer:
(a) C(x) = 9500 + 55x
(b) R(x) = 90x
(c) P(x) = 35x - 9500
(d) C(240) = $22,700
All functions are measured in $.
Explanation:
The total revenue of an entity is a function of the number of units sold and the selling price per unit. The total cost is a function of the fixed cost and the variable cost (which is also a function of the units produced/sold). Profit is a function of sales and cost.
Given that monthly;
fixed costs = $9500
variable costs = $55 per unit
Selling price = $90 per unit
Where x is the number of units
total costs C(x) in $ = 9500 + 55x
total revenue R(x) in $ = 90x
profit P(x) in $ = 90x - (9500 + 55x)
= 35x - 9500
C(240) = 9500 + 55(240)
= $22,700
Answer:
C. $2
Explanation:
The marginal cost is the cost for producing an additional unit of the product. According to this and as the statement says that with the additional worker the output rises to 3,750, teh first thing is to find the number of additional units that were produced:
3,750-3500= 250
With the new worker, the firm produces an additional 250 units that cost $500 because this is the salary of the new worker and to calculate the cost of one additional unit you have to do the following:
250 units ⇒ $500
1 unit ⇒ x
x=( 1*500)/250= 2
The firm's short-run marginal cost is $2.
Goods were able to be produced faster and more efficiently.
