To determined the profit is being maximized, you need to make sure that the difference between the total revenue and total cost is greatest. So the formula we need to use in determining the maximized profit is
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Given
TR = $5
TC = $4.10
Solution
Profit = 5 - 4.10
= 0.9
The answer is 0.9.
Answer: c) between Qa and Qb
Explanation:
From the exhibit, the lowest cost will be recorded when output is between Qa and Qb because these points represent the lowest costs per unit for Curves A and C and the lowest points where output can be produced. Output being produced at costs lower than this is therefore the lowest for the medium plant.

Answer:
Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $12.50.
Wage Labor Demanded Labor Supplied
$12.50 375,000 625,000
This will result in a surplus of labor (625,000 higher than 375,000)
Which of the following statements are true?
- Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. As with all price floors, a deadweight loss results, because the quantity supplied is much greater than the quantity demanded. In this case, the price of labor is the wage, and the deadweight loss = structural unemployment
-
In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium.
Since a labor surplus exists, the price of labor should start to decrease in order to match the equilibrium price.
-
If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium. The quantity supplied of labor is much greater than the quantity demanded for labor resulting in a surplus.
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Last year:
DVDs sold = 10
Selling price of each DVD = $20
DVD players sold = 5
Selling price of each DVD player = $100
This year:
DVDs sold = 150
Selling price of each DVD = $10
DVD players sold = 10
Selling price of each DVD player = $60
Real GDP:
= (No. of DVDs sold this year × Selling price of each DVD last year) + (No. of DVD players sold this year × Selling price of each DVD player last year)
= (150 × $20) + (10 × $100
)
= 3,000 + 1,000
= $4,000.
