Answer:
$6.00
Explanation:
Given data
quantity demanded ( x ) ∝ 1 / p^3 for p > 1
when p = $10/unit , x = 64
initial cost = $140, cost per unit = $4
<u>Determine the price that will yield a maximum profit </u>
x = k/p^3 ----- ( 1 ). when x = 64 , p = $10 , k = constant
64 = k/10^3
k = 64 * ( 10^3 )
= 64000
back to equation 1
x = 64000 / p^3
∴ p = 40 / ∛x
next calculate the value of revenue generated
Revenue(Rx) = P(price ) * x ( quantity )
= 40 / ∛x * x = 40 x^2/3
next calculate Total cost of product
C(x) = 140 + 4x
Maximum Profit generated = R(x) - C(x) = 0
= 40x^2/3 - 140 + 4x = 0
= 40(2/3) x^(2/3 -1) - 0 - 4 = 0
∴ ∛x = 20/3 ∴ x = (20/3 ) ^3 = 296
profit is maximum at x(quantity demanded ) = 296 units
hence the price that will yield a maximum profit
P = 40 / ∛x
= ( 40 / (20/3) ) = $6
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
During an economic activity between the two parties, if the third party is affected (Positively or negatively) by this economic transaction then this is known as externality.
There are two types of externalities:
(i) Positive externality: When the third party is positively affected by an economic transaction between the two parties.
(ii) Negative externality: When the third party is negatively affected by an economic transaction between the two parties.
Now, suppose there is a steel manufacturing company for the consumers. But the people who lives near this company have to bear the cost of the pollution created by the company. This is a negative externality.
Answer:
C, producer to agent to retailer
Explanation:
For a small manufacturer that cannot afford its own sales force, the best channel or chain of distribution is for the manufacturer to send his products to an agent then the agent sells the retailers.
The agent in this case has the sales force to distribute products which the manufacturer can't afford. This means that the manufacturer is most likely going to cut a deal with the agent as to how much will be remmited or how much the products would be sold to him and then he can pass it on to retailers for an added price.
All of these helps both the manufacturer, agent and retailer make profitsas well as ensure smooth and continuos distribution of products.
Cheers.
Answer:
Longard Corp.
The money that Longard Corp. receives is:
= $75 million.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of shares issued = 5 million
Investment bank underwriter pays per share to Longard Corp = $15
Stock price to the public = $20 per share
Total amount received from the underwriter = $75 million ($15 * 5 million)
b) The calculations show that the investment bank will eventually receive $100 million ($20 * 5 million) from the public offer. It then charges $5 per share (representing a total underwriting fee of $25 million). This is why it remits only $75 million to Longard Corp.
Answer:
1. True
2. False
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
An example of perfect competition is the market for farm produce.
