Answer:

1

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized 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.  

In a perfect monopoly, there is only one firm operating in the industry

In a  monopolistic competition, differentiated products are sold

In an oligopoly, there are few large firms

a) Selection and Management are getting tougher with lack of active candidates seeking for job or lack of skilled candidates attending the placement process. There is lack of required skills for the job role and hence this subsection needs to send job proposals to even passive job candidates at competitive prices and incentives to attract them towards the company.

A peach farmer must decide how many peaches to harvest for the world peach fair. He knows that there is a 25 percent chance that
noname [10]

Answer:

The correct option is a. $61.25.

Explanation:

Note: The correct cost function of the farmer is as follows:

C(Q) = 0.05Q^2 ……………….. (1)

Differentiating equation

MC = C’(Q) = 0.1Q

P = Expected price = (25% * $3) + (50% * $3.50) + (25% * $4) = $3.50 ……. (2)

Since profit is maximized when MC = P, we equate equations (1) and solve for Q which is the expected profit-maximizing quantity as follows:

0.1Q = 3.50

Q = 3.50 / 0.1 = 35

Substituting Q = 35 into equation (1), we have:

C(Q) = 0.05 * 35^2 = $61.25

R(Q) = Maximum expected revenue = P * Q = $3.50 * 350 = $122.50

The farmer's maximum expected profit = R(Q) - C(Q) = $122.50 - $61.25 = $61.25

Therefore, the correct option is a. $61.25.
