Ramona is an asparagus farmer and the world asparagus market is perfectly competitive.
The market price is $23 a bundle. Ramona sells 800 bundles a week and her marginal cost is $25 a bundle.
The market price falls to $20 a bundle, and Ramona cuts her output to 500 bundles a week.
Ramona's average variable cost and marginal cost fall to S20 a bundle.
Ramona is
A. not maximizing profit because she has cut her asparagus production
O B. not maximizing profit because she is incurring an economic loss
C. maximizing profit and she is incurring an economic loss
O D. maximizing profit and she is making an economic profit
E. not maximizing profit because marginal revenue does not equal marginal cost
The table shows Rita's total utility from burritos and hot dogs.
When the price of a burrito is $4, Rita has $28 to spend, and the price of a hot dog falls from $4 to $2,
how many burritos and hot dogs does Rita buy?
What are two points on Rita's demand curve for burritos?
When the price of a burrito is $4, Rita has $28 to spend, and the price of a hot dog is $4, Rita buys
burritos and hot dogs.
Everything else remaining the same, if the price of a burrito falls from $4 to $2, how many burritos and
hot dogs does Rita buy?
burritos and hot dogs.
Rita buys
So two points on Rita's demand curve for burritos are
$2.00 each.
burritos at $4.00 each and burritos at
