Answer (25) – (X) XXXXX X
Explanation: XXX explanation in answer 24.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! YOU ARE FINISHED. XXX XXXX XX XXXXXXXX PART X. EXTRA XXXXXX. You are not obligated to XX this XXXXXXX. XX XXXXXX XXXX extra XXXXXX, you must show XXX XX XXXX work XXX XXXXXXXX requiring calculations. (XX XXXXXX)
X.C. 1: Suppose that instead of a supply-XXXXXX diagram, you XXX XXXXX the following XXXXXXXXXXX:
X s = XXX + X###i
/i###
Q d = XXX - 2###i
XXXX this information compute XXXXXXXXXXX price and XXXXXXXX. (2 points)
Answer (XX-X)
The equilibrium XXXXX will XX XXX XXXXX XXXXX Q s = X d. XXXXXXXXX,
100 + XX = 400 – XX
3P + XX = 400 – XXX
XX = 300
P = XX
The XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX is XXXXXXXXX 60 XXX unit.
XXXXXXXXXXX quantity XXX now XX worked out XX putting the XXXXX of P XXX XXXXXXX XXX Q. XXXXX,
X s = XXX + X(60)
= XXX + 180
= XXX XXXXX
XX;
Q d = 400 – 2(60)
= XXX – 120
Profit maximizing XXXXXXXX is 280 XXXXX.
X.C. 2: XXXXXX a XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX the circumstances that XXXXX prevail in a XXXXXXXXX competitive XXXXXX XXXXX firms are XXXXXXXXXXXX economic losses.
