How would you discuss competitive advantage and how a company estimates their own competitive advantage?
Everyone shops for things they need for themselves and for gifts for others. Imagine you are taking an online class, and you are looking to buy a new computer because your old one died. The class starts in two days. The market for computers is very competitive. There are several brands that have similar characteristics, such as storage capacity, processor speed, number of USB ports, etc., but you have owned one that you liked, and you want to buy that same brand, the X-Mark. You have a budget of $1,750. One popular store has the brand you like on sale for $999.99 because other stores sell them for that price. You have a friend at that store who tells you that the store paid $925 for that computer. Please evaluate and explain the willingness to pay, consumer surplus (calculate), demand, producer surplus (calculate), cost, and willingness to sell this transaction. Define these terms in your explanation, not as separate definitions. Incorporate the meaning into your narrative so that…
Suppose Mr. Mohammed, a seller in the Fruit & Vegetable Market in Al-Aweer, suddenlyrealized that his marginal cost was above the market price of the output. How would he reactif he were a profit maximizer? Analyze.
no need for the graph could you just answer each scenario in 3 terms: optimal prize , optimal quantity and profit

Do firms really calculate marginal cost and marginal revenue to find the profit-maximizing output? If you examine the accounting records of most small businesses, you will be hard pressed to find explicit calculations of marginal cost and marginal revenue. So, why do economists develop rather elaborate, formal models of profit maximization when no one seems to do what we say they do?
Explain the role of sunk costs in decision-making.

Suppose there are four villagers who can either raise sheep or bake bread. A sheepherder must buy a sheep for $200, raise it on the common and then sell it at the market in a nearby town. The table below shows how much a sheepherder can sell a sheep for. In the same time it takes to bring a sheep to the market, bread bakers can make a profit of $35. You will need to copy the table and fill it in as you answer the questions. A. Assuming each villager acts independently, how many sheep will be raised on the common? B. What is the total income of all four villagers? $ Part 2 Suppose you are the village elder. You no longer raise sheep or bake. Instead you sit around all day contemplating the meaning of life. One day you realize that the total profit of the village would be higher if fewer sheep were on the common. How many sheep should be on the common in order to maximize the village's profit? _______ sheep Part 3 Suppose there are two sheep on the common. A villager is…
How would you calculate the marginal cost of your firm's output? (think of a single product, not an industry).
In a business where, fixed costs are very high (i.e. the production of a new Music CD, or the research and development of a new cancer drug) and the marginal costs are very low why can't price equal marginal cost?
