Suppose that a monopolistically competitive firm's profit maximizing quantity is q = 8, and the demand for this firm's individual good is given by P = 40 - qd. If the minimum of the firm's AVC is 20, then

The firm should continue to produce in the short run and reevaluate in the long run

Explanation:

When we two or more firms that are competing with one another keep  producing goods or providing services that are similar to one another, only that none of these products or services can actually act as a substitute for the other goods/services, it is said that the firms are in monopolistically competition.

So, we are given the following information which will aid in solving the question above;

The firm's profit maximizing quantity is q = 8, firm's individual good is given by P = 40 - qd and the firm's AVC = 20.

We are given that P = 40 - qd, therefore, P = 40 - 8 = 32.

This value, that is 32 is greater than the AVC given which is 20. Hence, The firm should continue to produce in the short run and reevaluate in the long run. If AVC is less than P, then otherwise would have happened instead.

d. all of the above are true.

the investment was $14,174.196

explanation:

a lump sum means that the father of the example made one deposit and leave it be.

we need to know the value of a capital that generated at 4.05% per year during 28 years the sum of $48,613.24

now clearing the formula to solve for capital we got:

and we reach the answer investment = $14,174.20
