In a homogeneous-good Cornet model where each of the n firms has a constant marginal cost m and the market demand curve is p = a

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

$Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n=1 (monopoly) we have $Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be $Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}$

Explanation:

In the case of a homogeneous-good Cournot model we have that firm i will solve the following profit maximizing problem

$Max_{q_i} \,\, \Pi_i=(a-b(\sum_{i=1}^n q_i)-m)q_i$

from the FPC we have that

$a-b\sum_{i=1}^n q_i -m -b q_i=0$

$q_i=\frac{a-b \sum_{i=2}^n q_i-m}{2b}$

since all firms are homogeneous this means that $q_i=q \forall i$

then $q=\frac{a-b (n-1) q-m}{2b}=\frac{a-m}{(n+1)b}$

the industry output is then

$Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n=1 (monopoly) we have $Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be $Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}$

OceanGate sells external hard drives for $260 each. Its total fixed costs are $30 million, and its variable costs per unit are $

Svetach [21]

Answer:

a. in order to calculate this we must assume that the economy entered a recession:

degree of operating leverage = [($20 - $70)/$70] / [($260 - $520)/$520] = -0.7143 / -0.5 = 1.43

b. $14 million

Explanation:

strong economy:

total sales $520 million

variable costs $420 million

gross profit $100 million

fixed costs $30 million

EBIT $70 million

income taxes $21 million

net income $49 million

weak economy:

total sales $260 million

variable costs $210 million

gross profit $50 million

fixed costs $30 million

EBIT $20 million

income taxes $6 million

net income $14 million

Suppose that $2000 is loaned at a rate of 11.5% , compounded semiannually. assuming that no payments are made, find the amount o

Zolol [24]

This problem is solved by using the compound interest formula:
A=P(1+(I/period))^(number of periods)
Where A = amount accumulated and P = amount loaned and I = Interest
A = ? P = $2, 000, I = 0.115, Period = 2 (semi annually) Number of period = 2
*7 (I. e paid twice over a 7 yrs span)
So we have
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.115/2)^(14)
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (1.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (2.1873851765154) = 4374.77035
So we have 4374.80 to the nearest cent.
