Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": path dependence.
Explanation:
Path dependency refers to the stage in which a company does not engage new ventures because it is too familiar with its current processes. Besides, the entity has the belief that continuing with the historical product is has been offering is more cost-effective than engaging in the production of a new good.

Answer:
a. Decrease
b. Decline
c. Exit
d. No change
Explanation:
The market for gourmet chocolate is in the long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has caused the consumer disposable income to fall. Chocolate is a normal good, and the chocolate producers have identical cost structures.
a. This decline in the consumer income will reduce the purchasing power of the consumers. As a result, the demand will decrease. The demand curve will move to the left.
b. This leftward shift in the demand curve will cause the price to decline, As the price falls, the profits earned by the producers will decline as well.
c. In the long run, the firms operate at zero economic profits. So a decline in profits imply that the firms are operating at an economic loss. This will cause the loss incurring firms to exit the market.
d. The long run supply curve will remain the same. It is not affected by change in profits, it changes only with change in the state of technology or availability of resources.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following data about Dayna's Doorstep Inc(DD) :
Cost given by; C = 100 - 5Q + Q^2
Demand ; P = 55 - 2Q
A.) Set price to maximize output;
Marginal revenue (MR) = marginal cost (MC)
MR = taking first derivative of total revenue with respect to Q; (55 - 2Q^2)
MC = taking first derivative of total cost with respect to Q; (-5Q + Q^2)
MR = 55 - 4Q ; MC = 2Q - 5
55 - 4Q = 2Q - 5
60 = 6Q ; Q = 10
From
P = 55 - 2Q ;
P = 55 - 2(10) = $35
Output
35(10) - [100-5(10)+10^2]
350 - 150 = $200
Consumer surplus:
0.5Q(55-35)
0.5(10)(20) = $100
B.) Here,
Marginal cost = Price
2Q - 5 = 55 - 2Q
4Q = 60 ; Q = 15
P= 55 - 2(15) = $25
Totally revenue - total cost:
(25)(15) - [100-(5)(15)+15^2] = $125
Consumer surplus(CS) :
0.5Q(55-25) = 0.5(15)(30) = $225
C.) Dead Weight loss between Q=10 and Q=15, which is the area below the demand curve and above the marginal cost curve
=0.5×(35-15) ×(15-10)
=0.5×20×5 = $50
D.) If P=$27
27 = 55 - 2Q
2Q = 55 - 27
Q = 14
CS = 0.5×14×(55 - 27) = $196
DWL = 0.5(1)(4) = $2
