A monopolist can practice third-degree price discrimination. If demand in the United States is given by y1 = 7,200 – 100p1, wher

e p1 is the price in the United States, and if the demand in England is given by y2 = 3,600 – 200p2, where p2 is the price in England, then the difference between the monopolistic price charged in England and the monopolistic price charged in the United States will be:__________.

Answer:

The difference between the monopolistic price charged in England and the monopolistic price charged in the United States will be = 27

Explanation:

Y1 = 7200 -100p1 = > p1 = 72 – y1/100

Y2 = 3600 – 200p2   = > p2 = 18 – y2/200

The cost of monopolist (since it’s the same firm and uses same technology) shall be same in both countries, hence let us assume marginal cost to be say c

Now the first order condition for Profit Maximisation of a monopolist yields

Marginal Revenue = Marginal cost

= > Marginal Rev US = c = Marginal RevEngland…………………..i

Now, Revenue in US = p1y1 = y1(72 – y1/100)

MR US = dRev/dy1 =   72 – y1/100 -y1/100 = 72 – y1/50

Similarly MR­Eng = 18 – y2/100

Hence putting the above derivations in i:-

72 – y1/50 = 18 – y2/100

Now putting values for y1 and y2 again the above equation becomes:-

72 – (7200 -100p1)/50 = 18 – (3600 – 200p2)/100

= > 54 – 144 + 2p1 = -36 + 2p2

= > 2(p1 – p2) = -36 + 90 = 54

= > p1 – p2 = 27

kirill [66]

Answer:

predetermined overhead rate: 14.51 dollars per labor hour

applied overhead at 18,500 hours: 268,435 dollars

Explanation:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

we distribute the expected overhead over the cost dirver. In this case direct labor hour:

cost driver: labor hours:

labor cost: 231,322 / 12.71 labor rate = 18,200 labor hours

<u>expected overhead:</u>

depreciaiton 53,500

supervisor    135,000

supplies         42,900

property tax   32,750

total overhead 264,150‬

overhead rate: 264,150 / 18,200 = 14,51373626373626 = 14.51/hr.

applied: 18,500 x 14.51 = 268.435‬

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Resources are similarly appropriate for the manufacturing of two varied goods at a constant opportunity cost.

Therefore, the opportunity costs for additional smartphone remains the same.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$788.35

Explanation:

In this question, we use the present value formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 14% ÷ 4 quarters = 3.5%

NPER = 4 × 4 quarter = 16 years

PMT = $1,000 × 7% ÷ 4 quarters = $17.50

The formula is shown below:

= PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the answer would be $788.35
