8. Critical analysis Q13 Suppose Raphael, the owner-manager of a local hotel, projects the following demand for his rooms: Price Quantity Purchased ($) (per Day) 90 200 135 180 180 140   The price elasticity of demand between $90 and $135 is_____    in absolute value. This means that if Raphael raises the price from $90 to $135, his total revenue will______   (rise/fall/constant).   The price elasticity of demand between $135 and $180 is______ in absolute value. This means that if Raphael raises the price from $135 to $180, his total revenue will_________(rise/fall/constant)    .

Peloton article: Why do you think Peloton simultaneously raised subscription rates while lowering the price of the hardware (the bike)? Group of answer choices Their instructors threatened to go on strike. Their raw material costs went down. They know they have existing customers locked in (due to transaction specific investments), so they are holding them up while trying to attract new customers.

7 With the aid of a diagram, explain the profit maximising rule and explain four reasons why firms aim to profit maximise. Why might profit maximisation not be possible? (At least three developed points) What other business objective, besides profit maximisation may firms have and why might this be the case? Use a diagram and develop at least three points

Only typed answer and please answer correctly  It is possible to lower the average cost of production by expanding output beyond Q0 to Q1. Why wouldn't a firm expand its output to Q1?   Group of answer choices   a) Demand is not sufficient for consumers to buy Q1.   b) The firm would suffer an economic loss at Q1 while it would break even at Q0.   c) The firm's marginal revenue would be negative at Q1.   d) The firm wants to maximize accounting profit rather than economic profit.

Figure 7.1 shows a firm’s total revenue and total cost curves. If the firm were producing Q1, it should   a. expand output to Q2 to maximize profit.   b. reduce output to zero to maximize profit.   c. expand output to Q3 to maximize profit.   d. expand output beyond Q3 to maximize profit.   e. continue to produce Q1, which is the profit-maximizing output.

5. Study Questions and Problems #5 Suppose there is a decrease in the demand for high-definition televisions.   What effect might this change have on the short-run average total cost curve for this product? _____   a) A decrease. When demand decreases, the short-run average total cost falls.   b) An increase. When demand decreases, the short-run average total cost increases.   c) No change. Demand determines the final price but not the costs for the product.

15. Please select all that are true regarding variable costs (VC): Variable costs must be more than revenue for profitability Variable costs per unit are assumed to be constant in the relevant range of output Total variable costs are from all Q produced Variable costs are the total cost of producing a good or service Variable costs change over time Variable costs are assumed to be proportionate to Quantity Variable costs are the marginal profit per unit Variable costs are less of a risk than fixed costs since FC remain even at zero Q

question7)   the following is the total cost function and demand function of a certain firm TC= 100 +20Q + 7QQd = 130-2Pa)- What is the type of this market? why? b)Calculate the profit maximizing level of output and price for this firm. c) Does the firm make profit or loss at this level of output? Why? d)Should the firm produce this level of output or shut down? Why? please all do subparts because I have very urgent solution

22. Which one of these will continuously increase as more products are produced? a. None of the choices b. Variable cost c. Average fixed cost d. Fixed cost

33 - Which of the following will maximize profit?    a) MR=TC  B) MR=AC  C) MC=TC  D) MC=AC  TO) MC=MR

1- You own a hamburger franchise and are planning to shut down operations for the day, but you are left with 12 buns, 18 defrosted beef patties, and 14 opened cheese slices. Rather than throw them out, you decide to use them to make burgers that you will sell at a discount. Plain burgers each require 1 beef patty and 1 bun, double cheeseburgers each require 2 beef patties, 1 bun, and 2 slices of cheese, while regular cheeseburgers each require 1 beef patty, 1 bun, and 1 slice of cheese. How many of each should you make? plain burgers  double cheeseburgers  regular cheeseburgers 2-  The Enormous State University History Department offers three courses—Ancient, Medieval, and Modern History—and the chairperson is trying to decide how many sections of each to offer this semester. The department is allowed to offer 48 sections total, there are 5,400 students who would like to take a course, and there are 65 professors to teach them. Sections of Ancient History have 100 students each,…

QUESTION 2 Mrs Tobani who was earning an annual income of K4,000 decided to go into business in 2014 by investing his capital which was earning a return of K2,400. In 2014 his accounting profit was K6,000. Calculate: -Mrs Tobani’s total opportunity cost.                                                                                       -His economic profit.                                                                                        - A retail store conducted a study of the demand for trousers. It found that the average daily demand (Q) in terms of price (P) is given by the equation.Q = 700 – 5P -How many trousers per day can the store expect to sell at a price of K100 per trouser? -If the store wants to sell 1000 trousers per day, what price should it charge?

4. If Stopdecay does not change its price, the average monthly total revenue would be (Dropdown options: 240k, 195k, 200k, 162,500) 5. On the other hand, if it changes the price to sell the same number of units as it did before, the average monthly total revenue would be (Dropdown options: 231,920 or 241,440, or 160,000 or 172,480)
