Answer: 15000; 3750

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = 660 – 12P

MC = 5

The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market will be:

P = MC

Therefore, P = 5

Q = 660 - 12P = 660 - 12(5) = 660 - 60 = 600

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 5) (600)

= 1/2 × 50 × 600

= 15,000

For monopoly, MR = MC

Total Revenue = P × Q

Since Q= 660 - 12P

P = (660 - Q)/12

TR = P × Q

= (660 - Q)/12 × Q

= (660Q- Q²)/12 × Q

MR = (660 - 2Q)/12

MR = MC

(660 - 2Q)/12 = 5

(660 - 2Q) = 5 × 12

660 - 2Q = 60

2Q = 660 - 60

2Q = 600

Q = 600/2

Q= 300

Since P =(660 - Q)/12

= (660 - 300)/12

= 360/12

= 30

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 30) (30)

= 1/2 × 25 × 300

= 3750

Therefore, the answer is 15000; 3750

quester [9]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold on April 25 is $13.80 and the inventory balance is $55.20

Explanation:

Data given:total unit

Cost of purchase with  data;

Date                  Amount

April 5                 $10

April 10                $12

April 15                $14

April 20                 $16

April 22                 $17

Total cost             69    

Average cost = total cost /total quantity

                       = 69/5

                       =13.8

The cost of the ending inventory is given on the balance sheet below

Date      Purchases              Cost of            Inventory Bal.   Avg Cost

                                            goods sold

April 5   $10* 1 unit= $10                -                        $10               10/1 = $10

April  10  $12* 1 unit=$12               -               10+ 12 = 22            22/2 = 11

April  15   $14* 1 unit=$14                  -           22+14 =36              36/3 = 12

April 20   $16* 1 unit= $16                  -          36 +16 =52            52/4 = 13

April 22    $17* 1 unit = $17                 -          52+17 =69            69/5 = 13.8

April 25             -           1 unit*13.8 = 13.80      69 - 13.8 = 55.20

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. An internal cost

Explanation:

An internal cost is cost the internal struggle that is going on within oneself. Unlike external cost, it is not paid through material things, rather it is paid by internal mental strategies.

This is an example of an internal struggle because the roommate cannot be categorized into a third party, and it is your internal struggle that you cannot focus while there is noise. For some people, noise helps to concentrate.

Therefore, it would be considered as the internal cost that you pay due to your roommate.
