Dumphy and funke are rival tattoo artists in the small town of feline. there are no other tattoo artists in town. it costs $30 to produce a tweety bird tattoo. assume for simplicity that fixed costs are zero and that dumphy and funke perform identical work. for a while, there was too much demand for funke and dumphy to handle and they both charged $200 for a tatoo. but recently, demand has dropped significantly and there isn't enough work for both to fill their days at any price. however, there is some demand at all prices. what will be the equilabrium price that dumphy and funke will charge? what are the profits for dumphy and funke at the equilibrium price? what type of competition would funke and dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand?

A) plot the m1 and m2 money stock in the us from 1990-2015. (hint: you may use the data tools provided by fred.) (b) plot the nominal interest rate from 1960 to 2014.

How are interest rates calculated by financial institutions? financial institutions generally calculate interest as (1) interest or (.
