Answer: The price of the tied good is $20.

Explanation: The practice of tying is used to package products in such a way that the price of the tied (combined) good is closer to the buyers total willingness to pay for the two goods.

In this case, the total willingness to pay of Carnivore is $20+$7=$27

While, that of Leafygreens is $8+$12=$20

Thus, the producer will sell the combined good at $20 as it this price both the consumers will buy the tied good. If the producer sells it at $27, then only the Carnivore will buy the good but Leafygreens will not.

Thus, with zero marginal cost of serving additional consumer it is better for the producer to sell at $20.

Suppose there are only three firms in a market. The largest firm has sales of $500 million, the second-largest has sales of $300
belka [17]

Answer:

50% share.

Explanation:

Given:

There are only three firms in a market.

The largest firm has sales of $500 million.

The second-largest has sales of $300 million.

The smallest has sales of $200 million.

Question asked:

The market share of the largest firm is ?

Solution:

As we know:

Market\ share=\frac{Total\ sales\ of\ the\ firm}{Total\ sales\ of\ the \ market} \times100

Total sales of the largest company = $500 million.

Total sales of the market = Sales of largest firm + Sales of second largest firm+ Sales of smallest firm

Total sales of the market = $500 million + $300 million + $200 million

                                          = $1000 million

Market\ share=\frac{Total\ sales\ of\ the\ firm}{Total\ sales\ of\ the \ market} \times100

                       =\frac{500}{1000} \times100\\ \\ =\frac{50000}{1000} \\ \\ =50\%

Therefore, the market share of the largest firm is 50%.

Jim left his previous job as a sales manager and started his own sales consulting business. He previously earned $70,000 per yea
emmainna [20.7K]

$45,000 per year is the economic cost of the time he contributes to the new business.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The difference between the accounting cost and the implicit cost refers to the economic cost. Implicit cost refers to the opportunity cost that the person incurs when he makes a choice. For example consider Geetha is spending something for watching a movie. The cost that she spends for the movie and the cost that can be forgone by her when she spends that for some other things will be included in the economic cost.

In the example given Jim  was earning d $70,000 per year and now he is paying himself  $25,000 per year for building a new business. Thus the economic cost will be $70,000 -$25,000 = $45,000 per year. Here the accounting cost is  $70,000  and the implicit cost is $25,000.
