Considering the situation described above, the alternative view about why it may make sense to tolerate the existence of some monopoly firms is that "Monopolies do reduce consumers surplus by producing less and charging more than the outcomes that would occur in a competitive market, but at times it makes sense to sacrifice some efficiency.

This can be illustrated in a situation whereby certain goods or services may not be available except through the chance of earning monopoly profits. This occurs whereby a patent ensures there are incentives for research and development.

In some other cases, it is more ideal if good is produced by a monopolist rather than by multiple producers due to the large fixed costs in production; thereby, with more profits, the price of products would reduce in the long run.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that there are situations whereby Monopoly is necessary to provide goods and services for the people in a society.

Suppose that the demand for my new book, Spatulas From Around the World, is such that the demand curve lies everywhere below the
dsp73

Answer:

C. Shut down the presses printing my book

Explanation:

Since the average variable cost of producing the book is above the demand curve, the best course of action is to shut down the printing (production) of more books. The author would lose less money by shutting down operations rather than continuing production at a variable cost higher than the demand he's receiving for the books.

In economics, when profit is less than the average variable cost, firms are advised to stop production in the short run and incur economic loss on fixed inputs. This is because with continued operations, total revenue would not only be lower than total cost, but rather, would also be less than total variable cost.

Various financial data for the past two years follow. LAST YEAR THIS YEAR Output: Sales $ 200,000 $ 220,000 Input: Labor 30,000
Gelneren [198K]

Answer and Explanation:

1.Total productivity = output/input

For last year

Output = 200,000

Input = 30000+35000+5000+50000+2000

= 122000 dollars

Output/input = 200000/122000 = 1.64

For current year

Output = 220000

Input = 40000+45000+6000+50000+3000

= 144000

Output/input = 220000/144000

= 1.53

Percentage change = [(1.53-1.64)/11.64} x 100

= -6.70

Partial measure of labor

For last year

Output = 200000

Input = 30000

Output/input = 200000/30000 = 6.67

For current last

Output = 220000

Input = 40000

Output/input = 220000/40000

= 5.50

Percentage change = (5.5-6.67)/6.67*100

= -17.54%

Percentage measure of raw material

For last year

Output = 200000

Input = 35000

Output/input = 200000/35000 = 5.71

For current year

Output = 220000

Input = 45000

Output/input = 220000/45000 = 4.89

Percentage change = (4.88-5.71)/5.71 * 100

= -14.36%

Percentage measure of capital

For last year

Output = 200000

Input = 50000

Output/input = 200000/50000 = 4

Current year

Output = 220000

Input = 50000

Output/input = 220000/50000 = 4.40

Percentage change = (4.40 - 4.00)/4.40 x 100

= 10%

The overall percentage change for total productivity is negative, this tells us that productivity is on a decline. Partial measure of labor and raw material is decreasing but that of capital is increasing
