Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Given that

Price = P = $90

And, the Marginal cost = MC = $18

a.

Now the markup would be

= (P - MC) ÷ P

= ($90 - $18) ÷ $90

= $72 ÷ $90

= 0.80

= 80%

Now the monopoly markup is

b.

As we know that

Monopoly, markup = 1 ÷ elasticity of demand(e)

e = 1 ÷ markup

= 1 ÷ 0.8

= 1.25

The absolute value of e would always be negative so e = -1.25

Therefore

The​ firm s price elasticity of demand is -1.25

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

[ -0.13, -0.15 ]  ( D )

Explanation:

Given data :

sample size ( n ) = 50

Independent variable ( p ) = 1

<u>determine the confidence interval for the slope </u>

Df ( degree of freedom ) = n - p - 1 = ( 50 - 1 - 1 ) = 48

b ( estimated slope ) = -0.23

Standard error of slope = 0.04

confidence interval = 95%

For confidence interval of 95% and Df of 48 ; critical value ( t ) = 2.011

∴ Confidence interval

= -0.23  ±  ( 2.011 * 0.04)

= -0.23 ± 0.08044

=  [ -0.13, -0.15 ]
