Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96

Explanation:
C(x) = 0.06x^2 - 6x + 218
Its a quadratic function , minima would occur at vertex.
x is no. of digital cameras
x = -b/2a = -(-6/2*0.06) = 50 cameras
Minimum marginal cost : C(50) = 0.06(50)^2 - 6*50 + 218 = $ 68
Answer: a. The merged firm will operate at higher capacity and may be able to reduce costs through economies of scale and perhaps learning-by-doing, which will benefit U.S. consumers.
Explanation:
A merger occurs when two companies comes together and becomes one. This is done in order to expand the recah of a company, gain a market share, and also expand into new segments.
The plausible reasons for the limited impact of the merger will be because the merger will lead to the operation at a higher capacity which will ensure that there's cost reduction through economies of scale which will be beneficial to the consumers.
Answer:
the firm's demand for labour is elastic. the total wage bill decreased even though wage rates have increased. this indicates that the firm's demand for labour is sensitive to wages. As a result of the rise in wages, the demand for labour by the firm fell more than the rise in price. This indicates that demand is elastic
Explanation:
Cash receipts from customers = $136,000
cash payment for operating expenses = $102,000
tax paid = 1 / 3
Amount on which tax paid = $9,300
amount of tax paid = $9,300 / 3 = $3,100
net cash provides by operating activities = ?
Net cash = cash from customers - cash payment for operating expense - amount of tax paid
= $136,000 - $102,000 - $3,100
= $30,900
so the net cash provided by operating activities is $30,900
