Total revenue is maximized where:
A. PED = 1
B. MR = 0
C. P x Q is maximized
D. All of the above
Option D. All the above
Explanation: Total revenue = price (P) * quantity (Q). So, total revenue is maximizes when P x Q is maximized. Also, total revenue does not increase any more i.e. it becomes maximum when marginal revenue (MR) is zero. Lastly, when total revenue is maximized, the price elasticity of demand is 1.
Consumers’ total expenditures (or a firm’s total revenue) is maximized where (a) the price is relatively high and the quantity is relatively low. (b) price-elasticity of demand is equal to one. (c) price-elasticity of demand is greater than one. (d) None of the above.
The total-cost, C(x), and total revenue, R(x), functions for producing x items are shown below, where 0 SXS 800 C(x) = 5900 + 100x and R(x) = - + 600X a) Find the total-profit function P(x). b) Find the number of items, x, for which the total profit is a maximum a) P(x) = b) The profit is maximized for a production of units
For the following demand function, find a. E, and b. the values of q (if any) at which total revenue is maximized. q 36,400-8p2 a. Determine the elasticity of demand, E E (Type expression using p as the variable.) = an b. Determine the value of q that maximizes the revenue. Select the correct choice below, and if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. O A. Total revenue is maximized at about q (Round to the nearest...
17. To maximize profits, a firm must choose its quantity at the point where... a. Total revenue (TR) - total cost (TC). b. Marginal revenue (MR)= marginal cost (MC). c. MR-MC is maximized. d. TR is maximized. 18. For a profit maximizing monopoly that uses the same price for all its customers, which of the following is true at the monopoly's profit maximizing quantity? a. MR =P b. MC-P. c. MR>P. d. MC>P. e. MR<P
If demand is given by P= 23-3Q, then total expenditure/revenue is maximized at P=
The monopolistically competitive firm differs from monopoly in that its O a. profit is maximized where MR = MC. 1 b. demand curve slopes downward. O c. demand curve is flatter. O d. MR curve lies below its demand curve.
33. Efficiency is attained when a. total surplus is maximized. b. producer surplus is maximized. c. all resources are being used. d. consumer surplus is maximized and producer surplus is minimized. 34. A price floor is binding when it is set a. above the equilibrium price, causing a shortage. b, above the equilibrium price, causing a surplus. c. below the equilibrium price, causing a shortage. d. below the equilibrium price, causing a surplus. 35. Which of the following is not...
1.) The profit-maximizing output level for a monopolist is where the: A. price is maximized. B. output sold is maximized. C. ATC curve is minimized. D. maximum efficiency is achieved. E. MR = MC. 2.) An example of price discrimination is the price charged for: A. troll dolls. B. part tickts. C. clothes. D. diamonds.
3. Complete the following table. Where P-Price Q = Quantity TR-Total Revenue and Arc MR Marginal revenue TR Arc MR 100 30 60 90 120 90 70 50 30 10 60 50 40 7500 180 210 240 6300 -50 -70 .90 20 10 2700 300
3) PED and Total Revenue (7 points) A demand curve is represented by the equation P = 60 - 20. The price has changed from $40 to $30. a. Graph this demand curve, labeling the two price points and their corresponding quantities demanded. (Hint: In addition to using the graph, you may also use the demand equation to find the quantities demanded for each price point b. On your graph, draw and label the total revenue, price effect and quantity...
