Answer: C) Marginal revenue will fall and marginal cost will rise.
Explanation:
The profit-maximizing equilibrium is the production point where the Marginal Revenue equals the Marginal cost.
As the monopolist moves towards this point, they will see their marginal costs increase because they will be producing more goods.
For a monopolist to sell more goods however, they will need to reduce their prices. This means that Marginal revenue will come down.
Marginal revenue will keep decreasing and Marginal cost will keep increasing until both of them become equal to each other.

Manson Industries incurs unit costs of $6 ($4 variable and $2 fixed) in making an assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 15,000 of the assembly part at $5 per unit. If the offer is accepted, Manson will save all variable costs but no fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost saving, if any, Manson will realize by buying the part.
Answer:
The decision should be to make the part
Explanation:
Variable cost of manufacturing = 15000x4 = 60000
Fixed cost of manufacturing = 15000 x 2 = 30000
Purchase cost = 15000x5 = 75000
Total annual cost of making = 60000 + 30000 = $90000
Total annual cost of buying is 30000 + 75000 = $105000
90000 - 105,000 = -15000
This shows that manson's cost savings would decrease by -15000
So instead of buying, it is better to make.
is it possible for a company to be too liquid
Answer:
yes it is possible ......
Answer:
A company can have too much liquidity, which may be a sign that it's holding onto cash that could be invested. In a sense, even borrowing money is another typical source of liquidity for businesses. To meet its obligations, the ability to take out loans will be a factor in its liquidity.
Explanation:
Suppose that Perry and Taimur both produce poems and novels. Perry’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 2 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between. Taimur’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 4 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between.
A. Which person can produce poems at lower opportunity cost? Explain. Which person can produce novels at a lower opportunity cost? Explain.
B. Suppose that Perry and Taimur make the following deal. Perry will spend all of his time making poems and Taimur will spend all of his time making novels. Taimur will then send 1 novel to Perry and in return Perry will send Taimur 4 poems. How many poems and novels will Perry have after this trade? How may poems and novels will Taimur have after this trade?
C. I claim that after trading with Taimur, Perry can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself. Likewise, Taimur can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself after trading with Perry. Use equations and a couple of simple calculations to demonstrate that I am correct.
D. What do you think is going on here? Why can both Perry and Taimur now consume a quantity of goods that they never could have produced for themselves?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Perry poems = 12
Taimur Poems = 12
Perry Novels = 2
Taimur Novels = 4
Opportunity cost of Poems for Perry = 2/12 = 1/6
Opportunity cost of Poems for Taimur = 4/12 = 1/3
Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry = 12/2 = 6
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur = 12/4 = 3
As opportunity cost of poems for Perry < Opportunity Cost of Poems for Taimur
So,
Perry can produce poems at lower opportunity cost.
And,
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur < Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry
SO,
Taimur can produce novels at lower opportunity cost.
b.
Perry spend all time in making poems = 12 poems
Taimur Spend all time in novel making = 4 novels
Trade ---> Taimur send 1 novel, So, he will left with 3 novels, in exchange he will get 4 poems.
So, after trade, we have:
Perry = 8 novels and 1 Poem
Taimur = 4 poems and 3 novels.
c.
The claim is correct.
This is because, Perry makes 8 poems, he is left with with only 4 novels of productivity and as his opportunity cost of novel is 6, he won't be able to produce even 1 novel, if he doesn't trade.
Let's assume Perry and Taimur both have 12 hours of time each.
Productivity of Perry ---> Poems: 12 hours/12 units = 1 Novels: 12/2 = 6
i.e. Perry need 1 hour to produce 1 poem
and 6 hours to produce 1 novel .
So, when Perry produce 8 poems, he exhaust his 8 hours. Now, he is left with 4 hours. So he cannot produce 1 novel, which require 6 hours to complete. So, after trade, he is better off.
d.
As both Perry and Taimur, produce the good, in which they have comparative advantage it lead to specialization. And when they trade the good, in which they have specialization which will lead them expand this consumption possibilities.
