Answer: I found the complete question on Google:
By 2017, McDonald's had stopped selling Chicken McNuggets and other products made from chickens fed antibiotics. The change increased McDonald's costs, but an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that "...McDonald's ability to raise its prices is limited because of stiff competition."Source: David Kesmodel, Jacob Bunge, and Annie Gasparro, "McDonald's to Curb Antibiotics in Chicken," Wall Street Journal, March 4, 2015. Does this "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is horizontal? Briefly explain.
And the correct answer is: "B. No, the demand curve is not horizontal because Chicken McNuggets are not identical to other chicken products.".
Answer:
a positive incentive I think
Explanation:
Answer:
The Producer surplus = 19.6.
consumer surplus = 12.25.
Aggregate supply = 31.85.
Explanation:
Normally, the demand equilibrium function equals to supply equilibrium function will get us the price which is $3 that is Qd = Qs. Hence, if we equate both function together like;
15 - 2P = 5P - 6.
15 +6 = 5P + 2P.
21 = 7P.
P = $3.
Thus, Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(3) = 15 - 6 = 9 units.
Qs = 5P - 6 = 5(3) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9.
Therefore, if the price is going to be Increased by $4, we will have that;
Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(4) = 15 - 8 = 7 units.
=> The Producer surplus = 1/2 × 14 (4 - 1.2) = 19.6.
=> consumer surplus = 1/2 × 7 (7.5 - 4) = 12.25.
Aggregate supply = Producer surplus + consumer surplus = 19.6 + 12.25 = 31.85.
