Answer:

The answer to this question is Option C.

marginal revenue will be greater than marginal cost. 

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition characterizes an industry in which many firms offer products or services that are similar, but not perfect substitutes.

There is  low barrier to entry and exit in a monopolistic competitive industry and the decisions of any one firm do not directly affect those of its competitors.In a monopolistic competition, there is  a negative relationship between price and quantity demanded.

 

If Susan increases her price to $15, marginal revenue will be greater than marginal cost.  

Hence the answer is Option C

Answer:

C) marginal revenue will be greater than marginal cost. 

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many buyers of differentiated goods. The demand curve of a monopolistic competition is downward sloping. This downward sloping demand curve indicates that there's a negative relationship between price and quantity demanded.

If Susan increases her price to $15, all things being equal, Quanitity demanded would fall and her profit would fall.

At the profit maximising price of $12, marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. So if price is increased to $15, marginal revenue would exceed marginal cost.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Explanation:

Run A Duration B Duration C Duration 1 51 48 17 2 60 48 19 3 30 39 19 4 31 48 22 5 30 31 14 6 41 16 17 7 44 12 6 8 44 12 10 9 45 43 9 10 60 41 10 Based on the simulated numbers given above, what is the average completion time of the whole project?

Since B is the predecessor of C.

Project completion time for each run will be calculated as Maximum (Duration of A, Duration of B +Duration of C).

Represent

Run = R

Duration of A  = DA

Duration of B  = DB

Duration of C = DC

Project Completion time = PT

<u>R       DA          DB                        DC               PT</u>

1       51            48                        17             48 + 17 = 65

2      60          48                        19             48 + 19 = 67  

4      31           48                       22              48 + 22 = 70

5      30         31                         14              31 + 14 = 45

6      41           16                       17                 41

7     44            12                       6                 44

8     44            12                      10                44

9     45           43                     9              43 + 9 = 52

10     60          41                     10                60

                                                                <u> Total = 546</u>

Total Project completion time in 10 Stimulations = 546

Average project Completion time = 546/10 = 54.6

Therefore, average Project completion time is between 53 and 56 days.

laila [671]

Answer:

The given statement 'In fact,...observable' conveys the idea that <u>it is comparatively convenient and simple to calculate the amount or quantity of goods that are being produced within a firm, territory, or country to determine the economic worth directly</u>. On the other hand, estimating the amount or quantity of goods consumed by the people across a region or country is difficult and can not be observed directly. However, the latter is given more significance and determined more usually through calculating the expenditure made by the consumers depending on their choices and within their income constraints and these are the primary factors that affect the economic growth or development while the production theory lays emphasis on the maximization of profit.
