1.As product differentiation decreases, ________ increases.
| markup |
| demand inelasticity |
| marginal cost |
| excess capacity |
1. Correct option: Demand inelasticity
Reason: A decrease in product differentiation will leave consumers with less options to chose from. This will reduce their elasticity of demand for goods and make the demand inelastic in nature as the market for that good becomes narrower.
1.As product differentiation decreases, ________ increases. markup demand inelasticity marginal cost excess capacity
As product differentiation decreases, ________ increases. a markup b demand inelasticity c marginal cost d demand elasticity e excess capacity A monopolistically competitive firm is inefficient because the firm a is not maximizing its profit. b earns positive economic profit in the long run. c produces an output where average total cost is not minimum. d produces where price is equal to minimum average total cost. e is producing at an output amount that corresponds to marginal cost equal to...
If the demand for a monopolist's product increases, its A. marginal revenue decreases, making it more profitable to hire more workers. B. marginal revenue increases, making it more profitable to hire fewer workers. C. marginal revenue increases, making it more profitable to hire more workers. D. marginal revenue decreases, making it more profitable to hire fewer workers.
Ceteris paribus, when ticket prices fall: Total revenue product increases. Marginal revenue product decreases. Marginal revenue product increases. Marginal revenue product is unaffected.
1. What is the markup for this firm? $_______
2. What is this firm's excess capacity?
When demand is more elastic in an oligopolistic industry the markup over marginal cost is smaller. True / False
1. In the short run, the marginal product of labor increases then decreases because of what? 2. Assume that Al's paint shop operates in a perfectly competitive market and its total cost is given by TC=150+240Q-12Q^2+2Q^3. The level of output that minimizes the average variable cost is? (Explain Answer) A. 0 B. 6 C. 4 D.3 3. The price level at which "Al's paint shop" will decide to shut down is? A. $1,032 B. $200 C. $222 (Answer but need...
A) As price increases, demand increases. B) As price increases, demand decreases. C) As demand increases, profit decreases. D) As price decreases, demand decreases. 2. One way a company can perform "what if budget analysis is by preparing a flexible bu A) True B) False 3. Budgeting often involves both monetary and nonmonetary measures of performance. A) True B) False 4. Which of the following budgets is prepared first? A) Cash budget B) Production budget C) Budgeted balance sheet D)...
(micro economics) Explain why marginal product first increases and then decreases, i.e., explain the law of diminishing product.
A factor that decreases marginal cost will decrease average cost, but a factor that decreases average cost will not necessarily decrease marginal cost . As output increases, average fixed costs decrease. True or false for both parts and why
If the marginal product of labor (MPL) increases when more labor is employed, then A. the marginal cost (MC) increases when output increases. B. the marginal cost (MC) does not change when output increases. C. the marginal cost (MC) decreases when output increases. D. Any of the above answers might be correct depending on how the average variable cost (AVC) changes when output increases.
