Answer: b. it's profitable in the short run for another member to increase production.

Explanation:

This refers to an oligopolistic market where there are few producers of a good. These producers can come together to create a cartel that fixes prices for the goods and services they produce.

If they agree to cut back production, this will have the effect of increasing prices due to a reduction in supply. If a member decides to increase production, they would enjoy profits in the short term from the increased prices.

The other members would however respond by increasing production as well so those profits would stop towards the long run.

You run a school in Florida. Fixed monthly cost is $5,435.00 for rent and utilities, $6,171.00 is spent in salaries and $1,545.0
umka21 [38]

Answer:

31

Explanation:

The calculation of indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option is shown below:-

Current Operation

Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost

= $734.00 - $91.00

= $643.00

Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance

= $5,435.00 + $6,171.00 + $1,545.00

= $13,151.00

New Operation

Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost

= $1,054.00 - $158.00

= $896.00

Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance

= $11,679.00 + $6,974.00 + $2,408.00

= $21,061.00

Here we will assume the indifferent number of students will be X

So,

Income under current option = Income under new option

$643.00 × X - $13,151.00 = $896.00 × X - $21,061.00

$253X = $7,910

X = $7,910 ÷ $253

= 31.26

or

= 31
