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.

I hope my answer helps you

In its simplest form, amdahl's law maintains that if a given program would take one hour to run to completion with one processor
AlladinOne [14]
<span>20% is the maximum speed up possible for this program. For this problem, let's assign the time of 1 for the task when using a single processor. Now let's assume that we have an infinite number of processors available to handle the portion of the program that can be executed in parallel so that the execution time for that portion will be 0. That means that the total execution time with an infinite number of processors will be 1 * (0.80 + 0) = 1 * 0.80 = 0.80 So at best, the parallel program will take 80% of the time for the single threaded version. So the speed increase will be (1 - 0.80) / 1 = 0.20/1 = 0.20 = 20%</span>

Furkat [3]
