Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The market price is P.

The marginal cost is given at MC.

The subsidy is equal to s.  

When the subsidy is provided to only a single firm, that firms marginal cost will decline. The firm can take advantage of decreased marginal cost by increasing the output level. The firm will produce the output where the price and marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost plus subsidy. At this point, the firm will be having maximum profit.

So, the firm will increase production until

P=MC+S

The monopoly demand curve is _____________, while the perfectly competitive firm’s demand curve is _______________. This is beca
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Downward sloping; horizontal line; demand; large number of competitors

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure where there is only a single firm in the market. This firm is a price maker. It can charge whatever price it wants, but the consumers will demand more at a lower price.  

That is why the demand curve of a monopoly is downward sloping and the same as the market demand curve.  

A perfectly competitive market refers to the market structure where there is a large number of buyers and sellers. These firms are price takers. They face a horizontal line demand curve. This is because of a large number of competitors producing homogenous products. So if a firm raises its prices the consumers will move to the firm at a lower price.  

The market demand curve though is downward sloping.

The monthly demand q for a monopolist firm's product in a certain market (measured in 1000s of units) is related to the price pe
Gnesinka [82]

Answer: (b) -3.08

Explanation:

The relationship between the demand(q), price per unit product(p) and the disposable income,yd is given by the expression below;

q= 20ln(7yd-2p).

From the expression above, the marginal demand,

∂ q/∂ p is the differential of the equation of relationship between the demand, price and disposable income.

This involves considering the demand,q as the dependent variable and the price per unit product,p as the independent variable and the disposable income,yd is considered constant.

Therefore ,

∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷(7yd-2p)

By substitution of

yd =$3000÷1000= $3

and p= $4

∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷((7×$3)-(2×$4))

∂ q/∂ p= -40÷13= 3.08

Please see the attachment for knowledge on how ∂ q/∂ p was obtained.
