The total utility schedule of Sharon is given below for the number of shoes she consumes. i. Calculate Sharon’s marginal utility schedule. ii. Plot a graph of total and marginal utility.iii. What is the maximum number of shoes that Sharon will consume? Explain
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
