A firm has a marginal cost of $20 and charges a price of $40. The Lerner index for this firm is:________.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

0.50 (B)

Explanation:

The Lerner index is used by monopolists to measure market/monopolist power, and it is defined as the percent markup of price over marginal cost.

It is given by the formula:

L = \frac{P - MC}{P}\\where:\\L = Lerner\ index\\P = price = \$40\\MC = marginal\ cost = \$20\\\\L = \frac{40\ -\ 20}{40} \\L = \frac{20}{40}\\ L = 0.5

Note: in a perfectly competitive market, L = 0, which makes Price = Marginal cost in the equation above. But in a competitive market, it is always the case that L ≥ 0

Kamila [148]

Answer:

$240.76

You want to invest some money today to ensure you have exactly $50 thousand in 6 years to use as the down payment on a house. Yo
Naddik [55]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

STRIPS are zero coupon bonds, and the advantage of them is that they allow an investor to know exactly how much money they will receive at a future date.

The investor purchases the STRIPS at a discount value, which we are not told here. E.g. assuming that the discount rate is 5% (similar to (4), the price of the STRIPS = $50,000 / (1 + 5%)⁶ = $37,311.
