A firm producing good Y recently increased monthly production from​ 1,500 units to​ 2,000 units. This had no impact on the marke

t price of good Y. At the new production level of​ 2,000 units, the​firm's average cost is​ $3.5 while its marginal cost of production is​ $4. The marginal revenue however is fixed at​ $5 for all levels of output. Jake Williamson is the operations head of the firm. Jake feels​ that, since the firm has the​ capacity, it should have increased production further to​ 2,500 units which would have maximized profits. On the other​ hand, Mathew Hayden of the market research team anticipates an increase in price to​ $5.5 in the near future. He therefore claims that the firm may not be maximizing economic profit in the short run even at​ 2,500 units.
Which of the following is most strongly implied by this​information?
A. At the current level of​ production, the firm is making a profit of​ $3,000.
B. The current price of good Y is equal to​ $4.
C. Mathew feels that the demand curve faced by the firm will shift downward.
D. Jake thinks that at the production level of​ 2,500 units, the average cost of producing Y will be equal to the market price.
E. The demand curve currently faced by the firm is horizontal at​$4.

olganol [36]
The second firm finds that though demand is not perfectly elastic, it is now comparatively more elastic. The second firm marginal revenue will be more elastic and its profit maximizing price will be lower. A monopolist probably also considers in policies that indulgence monopolies since it gives them greater power. A monopolist has slight incentive to progress their product because customers have no replacements. Instead, the motivation is dedicated on defending the monopoly.

Consider a single-server queuing system. If the arrival rate is 82 units per hour, and each customer takes 36 seconds on average
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The average # of customers in the line is 4.

Explanation:

arrival rate, x = 82/3600

                      = 0.023

service rate, y = 1/36

                        = 0.028

utilisation, p = x/y

                    = 0.023/0.028

                    = 0.821

average number of costomers = p^2/[1 - p]

                                                   = (0.821)^2/[1 - 0.821]

                                                   = 3.75

Therefore, The average # of customers in the line is 4.
