Answer: Hi your question is incomplete attached below are the missing details

answer :

A) 16 used DVDs

B) i) $18

   ii) $6

   iii) $8

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the weekly shortage of used DVDs due to ceiling price = $11</u>

shortage = Quantity demanded ( H ) - Quantity supplied ( F )

at ceiling price of $11 ; quantity demanded = 20 , Quantity supplied = 4

                = 20 - 4  = 16 used DVDs

B) i) <em>New consumer surplus = ADLK </em>

ADLK = ∠ ABK + BKLD

          = 1/2 * 4 * 1 ) + ( 15 - 11 )*4 = $18

<em>ii) New producer surplus = DLE </em>

DLE = 1/2 * 4 * ( 11-8 )

       = $6

<em> iii) Total economic surplus lost </em>

ΔKJL = 1/2 ( 8 - 4 ) * ( 15 - 11 )

         = $8

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Interest paid semiannually on July 31, and Jan 31,

so the rate of interest is :- 9% × 6÷12 = 4.5%  and  8% × 6÷12 = 4%

Date    Interest         Paid interest 4%         Amortized         Carrying value

       expenses 4.50%                             discount amount

February,1                                                    $735,474

July,31 $33,096   -   $32,400                    $696            $736,170

Jan.31      $33,128   -   $32,400                    $728            $736,898

Working note =

Paid interest = $810,000 × 4÷100 = 32,400

Interest expenses in July,31 = $735,474 × 4.5 ÷ 100

= 33,096.33 or $33,096

Interest expenses in January,31 = $736,170 × 4.5÷100

= 33,127.65 or $33,128

Carrying Value = Previous Carrying Value + Amortized Discount Amount

July,31

= $735,474 + $696

= $736,170

Jan,31 =  $736,170 + $728 = $736,898

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": a price increase results in higher​ profits; otherwise, the market is too narrow.

Explanation:

When firms are interested in acquisitions or mergers they have to determine if the target company is part of a relevant market. The term refers to the competitive conditions that offer the economy where the target company is located. The relevant market also considers the type of product or service the target company offers.

<em>Relevant markets optimal for mergers are those where an increase in prices generates more revenue for firms. If there are too many competitors offering undifferentiated products, the market will not allow organizations to profit from price increases. Those markets, then, are too narrow.</em>

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Lerner index for Botox = 0.9

Explanation:

The Lerner index measures market power in an industry. The formula for calculating the Lerner index is: L = (P - MC) / P

Lerner index for Botox = ($15 - $1.50) / $15 = 0.9

0.9 in the Lerner index means that a company has a very large market power. Under this situation, this is quite logical since Allergen has a monopoly on Botox, at least until the patent expires.

The Lerner index varies between 0 and 1, with 0 being a situation of perfect competition and 1 a monopolistic situation.
