Suppose a third firm enters the market. If they all don't cheat, then they split the profits three ways so that each firm gets 2 million. If one firm cheats, he steals profits from the other two firms and earns 5.5 million while the other firms incur losses of 1 million. Will it be harder or easier to sustain cooperation?
Answer: Harder to sustain cooperation
Explanation:
When the number of firms in an oligopolistic market increases as is the case here, cooperation becomes harder because profits become smaller so companies start to become more selfish.
Also in this scenario, the cheating firm has the incentive to do so because the profit is so much higher than sharing so companies will always be looking to cheat in order to make this profit. The other firms would reply by reducing prices and all of them would suffer.
One of the growers is excited by the price increase caused by the blight because he believes it will increase revenue in this market. As an economics student, you can use elasticities to determine whether this change in price will lead to an increase or decrease in total revenue in this market.Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for soybeans between the prices of
Full question attached
Answer:
Not elastic
Explanation:
The formula for demand elasticity= percentage change in quantity/percentage change in price
Therefore demand elasticity = Q2-Q1/Q2+Q1/2/P2-P1/P2+P1/2
Using graph of demand attached
= 12-15/12+15/2/21-15/21+15/2
= -3/27/2/6/36/2
=-2/9/1/3
=-2/3
=-0.67
Elasticity is less than one and so demand is inelastic

Assume there is a simultaneous decrease in the incomes of people in the market for new homes and a decrease in the wages paid to carpenters, plumbers, and electricians. All else constant, we can predict, with certainty, that in the market for new homes the equilibrium:
Answer:
Lower price for new houses.
Explanation:
The decrease in the income of people will decrease the demand for houses and the demand curve will shift leftwards. Meanwhile, the decrease in the wages for carpenters, plumbers, etc will decrease the cost of production so the producer will supply more when the cost of production decreases. So supply curve will shift rightwards. Resulting there will be lower prices due to shifts in the leftward demand curve and rightward supply curve.

Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.75 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
Answer:
a-1. Amount of rise in government expenditure required = $6.25 billion
a-2. Tax multiplier = -3
b. The combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion
Explanation:
a-1. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion.
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 4
Amount of rise in government expenditure required = Change in aggregate demand / Spending multiplier = $25 / 4 = $6.25 billion
a-2. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion.
Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 - MPC) = - 0.75 / (1 - 0.75) = -3
Amount of tax cut required = Change in aggregate demand / Tax multiplier = $25 / (-3) = $8.33 billion
b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
The amount is the amount of the balanced budget, which has a multiplier of one. This indicates that spending and taxes need be increased by $25 billion each to boost GDP by $125 billion. Therefore, the combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion

The expenditure and income approaches to calculating GDP arrive at the same final number, but they calculate that number in different ways. To illustrate, consider the possible effects of the following transactions on GDP:
1. Daesun pays Awesome Foods Market $1,100 to cater his daughter's engagement party. He's attracted by Awesome Foods Market's guarantee that he'll be happy with the catering, or he'll get his money back.
2. Awesome Foods Market pays JoAnn's Catering $950 to cater the party.
3. JoAnn's Catering buys plasticware worth $200 from Kostko.
Required:
Compute contributions to GDP, using the expenditure approach.
Answer:
Only the amount spent by Manuel would be in included in the calculation of GDP
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
the airplane purchased by the airline would be used to provide services for airline customers. Also, the packing boxes bought by Amazon would be used in delivering goods to customers
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

Explanation:
The income expenditure model predicts that if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and the federal government increases spending by $100 billion, real GDP will increase by:_______
a) $100 billion.
b) $750 billion.
c) $400 billion.
d) $300 billion.
Answer:
Option c ($400 billion) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to the question,
Government expenditure,
G = 100
Marginal propensity to consume,
c = 0.75
Now,
The autonomous spending multiplier will be:
⇒ [tex]\Delta Y = \frac{1}{1-c}\times \Delta G[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex]=\frac{1}{1-0.75}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=4\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=400[/tex]
Tarnopol Learning Services (TLS) offers tutoring to high school students, college students, and adults returning to school. TLS's major product offerings include academic tutoring, standardized test preparation, and admissions consulting. Demand for standardized test preparation, which accounts for the majority of TLS's revenues, peaks before the most popular test dates. Demand for admissions consulting peaks late in the year, just before application deadlines. Demand for tutoring services varies less than demand for other TLS services, but it is highest near the end of academic semesters. Staff shortages during these times have been a persistent problem. In response, TLS is considering whether to 1) recruit and train a greater number of temporary workers during peak demand times; or 2) partner with a tutoring and testing outsourcing firm that would provide services to TLS customers using the TLS brand. An executive at TLS believes that the best way to measure the number of extra employees that TLS needs is to estimate the number of extra employees each product category requires and then add all of those estimates together. Which of the following points out a flaw in this approach??A. The largest growth area for TLS is governmental contracts, which have buying procedures that are very different from those of other customers.B. TLS currently maintains separate accounting departments in each of its regions. C. To be effective, TLS managers need to be experts in at least one of the products that TLS sells. D. TLS hopes to build sustained relationships with customers, selling the same person academic tutoring standardized test preparation, and admissions consulting. E. Communication between different marketing departments in different regions has been substandard.

Consider two college roommates, one who smokes and one who does not. The smoker wishes to smoke in the room, and the nonsmoker dislikes smoking in the room. Suppose the smoker would be willing to pay $500 to be allowed to smoke in the room during the semester, and the nonsmoker would be willing to pay $600 to keep the room smoke-free. What should happen in the socially optimal outcome
Answer:
The socially optimal outcome is that there will be no smoking in the room.
Explanation:
The above answer is based on the willingness of the nonsmoker to ensure that no smoking happens in the room. For instance, the nonsmoker can pay off the smoker, paying $600 to dissuade him from smoking in the room. On the contrary, the smoker is only willing to cough out $500, which is less than $600, in order to smoke in the room. Under social optimality, the nonsmoker wins this game.
Calculate real rate if you have nominal rate is 12% and inflation rate is 7% Enter the answer in percentage format to two decimal place without the % sign -> 9.30 and not 9.3% or .093)
Answer: 5.00
Explanation:
The real interest rate is the difference between the nominal interest and the inflation rate.
Real interest rate will be:
= Nominal interest rate − Inflation rate.
= 12% - 7%
= 5.00
Therefore, the real Interest rate is 5.00.

A company has an overhead application rate of 124% of direct labor costs. How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $24,000?
Answer:
$29,760
Explanation:
Overhead application rate = 124% of direct labor cost
The required total labor costing = $24,000
Total overhead applied = Overhead application rate * $24,000
Total overhead applied = 124% * $24000
Total overhead applied = $29,760

Investment A cost 12,000 today and it pays back 15,500 two years from now. Investment B cost $8,000 today and it pays back $6,000 each year for two years. If Interest of 5% is used, which alternate is superior? (Hint: Use present worth your cost is negative and your profits are positive) Group of answer choices
Answer:
Investment "B" is superior.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of each investment net present worth.
Net present worth of Investment A = -12000 + 15500(P/F, 5%, 2)
Net present worth of investment A = -12000 + 15500 (0.9070)
Net present worth of investment A = 2058.95
Net present worth of Investment B = -8000+ 6000(P/A, 5%, 2)
Net present worth of investment B = -8000 + 6000 (1.8594)
Net present worth of investment B = 3156.4
Investment "B" is superior because its net present worth is greater.

The short-run cost function of a company is given by the equation TC=10000+50q, where TC is the total cost and q is the total quantity of output.
a. What is the company's fixed cost?
b. If the company produced 2,000 units of goods what would be its average variable cost?
c. What would be its marginal cost of production?
d. What would be its average fixed cost?
e. Suppose the company borrows money and expands its factory. Its fixed cost rises by $5,000 but its variable cost falls to $45/unit. The cost of interest also enters the equation. Each 1 point increase in the interest rate raises costs by $250. Write the new cost equation.
Answer:
a. 10000
b. 50
c. 50
d. 5
e. TC = 15000+5Q+250r
Explanation:
TC = 10000+50Q
a. the fixed cost Is 10000
b. variable cost, VC = 50Q
at q =2000 units,
average variable cost = [tex]\frac{VC}{Q}[/tex]
= 50Q/Q
= 50
C. Marginsal cost = d(tc)/dq = 50
d. the average fixed cost = 10000/q
= 10000/2000
= 5
e. the final cost would be = 10000+5000= 15000
the variable cost woul be calculated as= (50-45)Q = 5Q
Interest rate = 250r
the new cost equation = TC = 15000+5Q+250r
