Why is it useful to study Managerial Economics? correct answers Studying and
understanding Managerial Economics is important to make crucial business decisions to
maximize profit and create value for the product or service one is providing. By blending

business decision will maximize wealth. Once managers understand this reasoning behind
economic theories, they can use data to refine the theory aspect of managerial economics to
better fit their business, yielding continuous improved decisions and ultimately the most
desirable results. This helps managers to create value. Consumers, just like firms, have scare
resources. Consumers will invest their resources in the product or service that meets their
needs with the greatest value. Understanding managerial economics gives managers an edge
in creating value for their products.

Why can Managerial Economics be applied to any business decision making process,
regardless of the industry? correct answers Managerial Economics is applicable to different
types of organizations like for-profit firms, not-for profit-firms, and government agencies. All
of these types of organizations provide goods and services, even though they do not all have
the same objectives when it comes to maximizing wealth. According to the text, "[economic]
models are simplified representations of a real-world organization and its environment" and
managers can use these models to make decisions in a timely and cost effective manner. The
models to do match every detail of an organization so, although the over arching objectives
may be different from firm to firm, business transactions generally conform to similar
standards and processes. A model can be used to redirect the outcome of a decision and it
does not judge wether the outcome does/does not support the organizations objectives.
