Answer: 1) quantity of output is lower than it was previously.

Explanation:

In a competitive firm, the Price is the same as the Marginal Revenue and as this firm is maximising its profit, it is the same as Marginal cost as well.

If the price drops to $18, this would mean that the Marginal cost is now higher than the Marginal revenue which means that the company is making losses per every additional unit sold.

Company will respond by cutting production so that it can bring the marginal cost down to the Marginal revenue level thereby resulting in the quantity output being lower than it previously was.

Answer:

The first week of this unit I had a mix of emotions, excitement and stress .  The topics covered each week have giving me the opportunity to increase my knowledge in many areas.  Having an interest in teaching when I started this course has now grown to having an interest in learning as well.   Reflecting on my education as a child has shown me the growth in teaching and our current education system.

Cognitive learning and constructing knowledge are topics that hold a strong interest to me.  Working with children that have language disorders and cognitive issues the more knowledge I gain in this area assist with the quality of instruction  that I provide.  Meaningful learning is vital in assisting students to learn and to store newly learned knowledge. Students will benefit from high quality concrete examples, simple and precise instructions.  Language development should be encouraged and modelled students should have the opportunity to ask questions.  Introducing new words within instructions will assist the student in extending their vocabulary. It is important for all students to put into words their understanding of the tasks being taught.

Understanding cognition and how we learn is essential in the developmental stages of children.  Not all students learn in the same way, understanding the cognitive process will assist in the development of the students. By modifying my approach when giving instructions I have noticed growth in current students that I am working with.  Using concrete materials and giving the opportunity for students to be involved in hands-on activities on a daily basis, is essential in making new material meaningful to learners..  The knowledge gained from this topic has increased my understanding.
