Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": All of the above.

Explanation:

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the overall market value of all the goods and services a country produces and measures the size of the economy over a certain period. The GDP takes into account government spending, private investments, consumption, and net export (exports minus imports).

Private investment could be non-residential -tools, machinery, and factories- and residential -physical structures and equipment. Thus:

A) Construction of a new commercial warehouse (Residential Investment).

B) Purchases of initial inventory to stock the shelves of a newly opened bookstore (Non-residential investment).

C) Construction of a private residence (Residential Investment).

A monopoly market is characterized by the inverse demand curve P = 1,200 – 40 Q and a constant marginal cost of $200. If the mar

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The profit maximizing output level declines by 2.5 units and the price rises by $100.

Explanation:

In a monopoly market the inverse demand curve is given as,

P = 1,200 - 40Q

The marginal cost of production of the last unit is $200.

The total revenue is

= $Price\times Quantity$

= $1,200Q - 40Q^{2}$

The marginal revenue of the last unit is

= $\frac{d}{dx} TR$

= 1,200 - 80Q

At equilibrium the marginal revenue is equal to marginal price,

MR = MC

1,200 - 80Q = 200

80Q = 1,000

Q = 12.5

Putting the value of Q in the inverse demand function,

P = $1,200 - 40\times 12.5$

P = $700

Now, if the marginal cost rises to $400,

At equilibrium the marginal revenue is equal to marginal price,

MR = MC

1,200 - 80Q = 400

80Q = 800

Q = 10

Putting the value of Q in the inverse demand function,

P = $1,200 - 40\times 10$

P = $800

Answer:

The benefit cost ratio is 1.564

Explanation:

The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the present value of benefits to the present value of costs. It is thus calculated as follows.

Benefit-cost ratio = Present value of benefits / Present value of costs

Present value of costs = $20,000 + $2,500 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)

= $20,000 + $15,361

= $35,361

Present value of benefits = $9,000 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)

= $9,000 x 6.145

= $55,305

Benefit-cost ratio = $55,305 / $35,361

= 1.564

If a fishing boat owner brings 10,000 fish to market and the market price is $7 per fish, she will have $70,000 in total revenue

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

Given that

Total revenue is $70,000

Total fixed cost is $40,000

And, the total variable cost is $10,000

According to the given situation, the computation of profit is shown below:-

Profit = Total Revenue - Total Fixed cost - Total variable cost

= $70,000 - (10,000 × $4) - 10,000

= $70,000 - 40,000 - 10,000

= $10,000

Therefore for computing the profit we simply applied the above formula.
