What are the causes and effects of Rome conquering Carthage?

First Punic War Cause - Both empires wanted to take control of Sicily and Corsica, the perfect trading spot in all of the Mediterranean.

First Punic War Effect - It resulted in the destruction of Carthage. The Romans forced them to leave Sicily, return all captured Romans, pay a huge amount of money, and keep their quinqueremes out of the Roman waters.

Second Punic War Cause - Hannibal wanted to avenge his father's failures so he took eflephants and a massive army and marched to the Romans over the Alps. They were not able to attack Rome because of their advanced technology(siege towers, etc).

Second Punic War Effect - In distress, Hannibal and his army returned home. With their new leader Scipio the Romans had an advantage at the Battle of Zama. The Romans won and they forced the Carthaginians to give up their territory in Spain and the Mediterranean, give up their elephants, burn their warships, pay a fine, and never go to war without Rome's permission

Third Punic War Cause - Even after the huge defeats of the first two wars Carthage was still going strong. Rome demanded that Carthage hand over child hostages and demanded all of Carthage's technology. Carthage finally got mad and said no.

Third Punic War Effect -This started the third and final war. Carthage held their land for 3 years but finally lost. The Romans burned the city and many people died. This is why there is no evidence or any writings of Carthage.

Explanation:

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
