Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Monopoly.

The 2 reasons why the monopoly’s marginal revenue will always be less than its price are;

a) Even though Monopolies have very large influence on the prices of goods and services they offer, for a Monopoly to sell more goods, they generally have to lower their prices. This will lead to a situation where Marginal Revenue, which is the additional revenue made per additional unit sold will be less than Price because additional revenue for a new unit will be less than the last one because prices are dropped .

b) A Monopoly's demand schedule is downward sloping. This means that demand rises as prices drop. As prices drop therefore, more goods will be sold but the marginal revenue will be less because prices had to be dropped to get an additional unit to be sold. That unit therefore will bring in less revenue than the last unit.

Perfectly Competitive Market

In such a market, the seller is a Price Taker. This means that sellers in this market do not sell at a price that they want but rather at a price the market has established to be the Equilibrium. This is because of the high competition in the market. Since they are all selling at the same price, this means that every additional revenue they get is the same as the price the market charges. This means that Price equals Marginal Revenue in this market.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Below is the solution to the given problem

Explanation:

a. What is the average number of customers waiting?

With one barber and exponential service, this system fits Model 1 in the text. λ = 3.000 per hour (given), μ= 60/17 = 3.529 per hour.

You are looking for Lq here.

Lq = λ^{2} / μ(μ – λ) = 3.00^{2}/3.529 (3.529 – 3.000) =  = 4.82 customers

b. What is the average time a customer waits?

Wq = Lq/λ = 4.82/3.00 = 1.607 hours  = 96.40 minutes  

c. What is the average time a customer is in the shop?

You are looking for Ws here, and need to calculate Ls first.

Ls =    λ / μ(μ – λ) = 3.00/3.529 – 3.000= 5.671

Ws =  Ls/λ = 5.671/3.00 = 1.890 hours  = 113.4 minutes

d. What is the average utilization of Benny's time?

ρ =  λ/μ = 3.00/3.529 = 0.85 = 85.0%

Suppose that a monopolistically competitive restaurant is currently serving 260 meals per day (the output where MR = MC). At tha
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a. Profit; $520

b. Firms will enter; Left

c. Zero profits or normal profits

Explanation:

A restaurant is operating in a monopolistic competitive market.

The restaurant is producing 260 meals per day.

This is the profit maximizing level of output where the marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue.

The average total cost at this point is $10.

The price level is $12.

The profit or loss to the restaurant will be equal to the difference between total revenue and total cost.

a. Profit

= Total Revenue - Total cost

= $12\times 260 - $10 \times 260

= $3,120 - $2,600

= $520

b. This supernormal profit will attract other firms to enter the market, as a result the market share of existing firms will decline. The demand curve of the restaurant will move to the left.

c. In the long run, the firms in a perfectly competitive market earn only zero economic profits as positive profits attract new firms and negative profits cause the firms to leave.

So the restaurant will have zero or normal profits in the long run.

Answer:

Twitter's amended S-1 filing

Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:

= $98 million

Explanation:

Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the  long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.

The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000

The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth  $185,574,000

The capital expenditure in 2013 =       $98,450,000

The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.

Twitter filed SEC Form 1-A (S-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when it was seeking exemption for registration requirements for its public offerings as an "emerging growth company,"  as  it is "allowed by the federal securities laws to elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings."
