Answer:

a)

P 175

Q = 250

Profit6,250

b)

P 325

Q = 875

Profit 153,125

c)

Q = 1200

P = 260

Profit = 287,000

Explanation:

It maximize profit at MR = MC

MR = 200 - 0.2Q

MC = 150

150 = 200-0.2Q

Q = 50/0.2 = Q = 250

Price:

250 = 2000 - 10P

P = 1750/10 = 175

<u></u>

<u>Profit: revenue - cost</u>

$175 x 250 session - $150 per session = 6,250

<em>At new functions:</em>

150 = 500-0.4Q

Q = 350 / 0.4 = 875

Price:

875 = 2,500 - 5P

P = (2500-875)/5= 325

<u>Profit</u>

(325 - 150) * 875 = 153,125

<u>If cost changes:</u>

cost: 1000 + 20Q

marginal cost: 20

20 = 500 - 0.4Q

Q = 480 / 0.4 = 1,200

Price:

1,200 = 2500 - 5P

P = 1300/5 = 260

<u>Profit</u>

(260 - 20)Q - 1,000 = 287,000

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C) The authority-compliance style

Explanation:

Kim as well as other managers that follow the authority-compliance style believe that their subordinates are not important members of the organization. What matters is profits, and the higher the better, the needs of the employees are secondary.

This style focuses on exact work rules, arrangements, systems and discipline as a means to succeed. In the short run this leadership style can yield good results, improving employees' performance, but on the long run it doesn't work well, and all the benefits obtained at the beginning fade away.

When Jack takes a class, he saves all his work for that class with the name of the course. What is most likely happening to his
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

He has lost the previous files as he has been replacing them.

Explanation:

When you save a file in your computer, you need to save it with a name that is different from the names of the other files you have in the computer. If you save file with the same name of another file, you will replace that file and will lose the information you had. So according to this, as Jack is saving all his work for the class with the name of the course, it means that he has saved everything with the same name and he has lost the previous files because everytime he saves a new file he replaces the previous one.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Constant returns to scale production function: When there is an increase in inputs (i.e capital and labor) as a result output increases by the same proportion.
