Initially, the market price is p=15, and the competitive firm's average variable cost is 19, while its average cost is 22. Should it shut down? Why?
This firm should
A. not shut down because average fixed cost is less than the market price.
B. not shut down because average cost is greater than average variable cost.
C. shut down because average cost is greater than the market price.
D. shut down because average fixed cost is less than the market price.
E. shut down because average variable cost is greater than the market price.

Acompany is developing a new high­performance wax for cross country ski racing. in order to justify the price marketingwants, the wax needs to be very fast. specifically, the mean time to finish their standard test course should be less thanseconds for a former olympic champion. to test it, the champion will ski the course 8 times. the champion's times(selected at random) are 59.9 61.9 48.8 52.2 46.6 45.3 50.6 and 41.1 seconds to complete the test course. complete parts a and b below.a) should they market the wax? assume the assumptions and conditions for appropriate hypothesis testing are metfor the sample.assume=0.05. what are the null and alternative hypotheses? choose the correct answer below.b) suppose they decide not to market the wax after the test, but it turns out that the wax really does lower the champion'saverage time to less thanseconds. what kind of error have they made? explain the impact to the company of such anerror.

Cool beans is a locally owned coffee shop that competes with two large coffee chains, planeteuro and frothies. alicia, the owner, hired two students to count the number of customers that entered each of the coffee shops to estimate what percent of people who are interested in coffee are visiting each shop. after a week, the students found the following results: 589 visited cool beans, 839 visited planeteuro, and 1,290 visited frothies. the students were surprised that cool beans had 139 visits on monday which represented 59% of all people who visited one of the three coffee shops on mondays. how many people visited one of the three coffee shops during the week?

Need with my trade theory homework. i doubt what i wrote was right.consider a monopolistically competitive market for soft drinks in which n symmetric firms face the following demand function: q=s(1/n-b(p-(p with the straight line on which implies the marginal revenue functionmr=p-(q/sb)finally, suppose firms face the total cost functiontc=900,000+100qsuppose the market size, s, is 27,000,000, and the elasticity parameter b is 0.003.diagram the price and the average total cost in the market as a function of the number of firms. what are the equations for each curve, and why does each curve slope up or down? label the equilibrium number of firms and the equilibrium price in the diagram. why is this the equilibrium?
