Answer:

B) Businesses can actually do very little in terms of social responsibility.

Explanation:

Milton Friedman is most famous for the defense of the Chicago School economics which is a neoclassical approach to macroeconomics. He favored free trade, smaller government and a slow but constant growth of the money supply. I personally disagree with neoclassical economists because they have the tendency to mess things up and time proves they are always wrong (that is a biased but positive statement). He was the father of monetarism, but if you look at his last two disciples, George Bush and George W. Bush, the outcome was not positive ⇒ 3 deep recessions in 3 presidential terms.

As a neoclassical economist, Friedman believed and argued in favor of the trickle down in economics. That means that if you allow the rich to get overwhelmingly rich, their riches will spill over to the rest of society. Not because they are good people that like to share their wealth, but because they need workers and employees to keep consuming goods and services in order to get the economy moving. Eventually the spilled over wealth should return to the top. So it is no wonder why he opposed corporate social responsibility, since wasting time and money in the community, employees or the environment was simply a waste of resources that could be used to increase stockholders' wealth.

I understand how theoretically this might work, but it takes the human factor out of the equation and expectations are extremely important in economics, that is why they always fail.

You are given the market demand function Q=2800-1000p, and that each duopoly firm's marginal cost is $0.07 per unit, which impli
Fed [463]

Answer:

q1 = 910

q2 = 910

Explanation:

Given:

Q = 2800 - 1000p

Marginal cost = $0.07 per unit

Q = 2800 - 1000p

p = \frac{2800 - Q}{1000}

p = \frac{2800- q_1 - q_2}{1000}

Let's calculate profit of firm 1:

TR = p1 q1

= \frac{2800 q_1 - q_1^2 - q_1 q_2}{1000}

MR = \frac{2800 - 2q_1 - q_2}{1000}

MR = MC = 0.07

\frac{2800 - 2q_1 - q_2}{1000} = 0.07

Cross multiplying:

2800 - 2q₁ - q₂ = 70

2800 - 2q₁ = 70 + q₂

2800 - 70 - 2q₁ = q₂

2730 - 2q₁ = q₂...............(1)

Let's calculate profit of firm 2:

TR = p₁ q₂

= \frac{2800 q_2 - q_1 - q_2^2}{1000}

\frac{2800 - q_1 - 2q_2}{1000} = MR

MR = MC = 0.07

\frac{2800 - q_1 - 2q_2}{1000} = 0.07

Cross multiplying:

2800 - q₁ - 2q₂ = 70

2800 - 2q₂ = 70 + q₁

2800 - 70 - 2q₂ = q₁

2730 - 2q₂ = q₁................... (2)

Substitute 2730 - 2q₂ for q₁ in (1)...

Thus:

2730 - 2q₁ = q₂

2730 - 2(2730 - 2q₂) = q₂

2730 - 5460 + 4q₂ = q₂

-2730 + 4q₂ = q₂

-2730 = q₂ - 4q₂

-2730 = - 3q₂

q₂ = -2730/-3

q₂ = 910

Substituting 910 for q₂ in (2):

2730 - 2q₂ = q₁

2730 - 2(910)= q₁

2730 - 1820 = q₁

910 = q₁

q₁ = 910

The Cournot equilibrium quantities are: q₁= 910; and q₂ = 910
