Answer:

a. downward sloping

b. decrease

c. decrease

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a type of imperfect competition:

 Companies do not have the monopoly market power but they do have some market power.

Behavior :

As in the other models already analyzed, these companies seek to maximize their profit, which will lead them to set their level of activity at the cut-off point of the marginal revenue and marginal cost curve.

Once this level of activity has been determined, the price will be determined by the demand curve.

Therefore, in a monopolistic competition market, the company produces in the descending section of its average total cost curve, while in competitive markets it produces at the minimum point of its average total cost curve.

Monopolistically competitive companies produce below the efficient scale. This lower activity means that, unlike the perfectly competitive market, the total profit is not maximized.

Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": The decisions you make are constantly changing with imperfect information available.

Explanation:

Decision-making is complicated to be made through programmed systems because there are several variables to be considered in the process. The most important is that businesses are subject to <em>changes in the market that can happen suddenly</em>, meaning what could work today might not tomorrow.  

Besides, the information entered in the system must be perfect to obtain an accurate outcome. However, decision-making is based on data that can be precise like the information portrayed in the financial books of the firm but<em> if there is a mistake committed, even if minimal, the programmed decision could fail.</em>

The sticky-price theory helps explain what feature of the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The stick price theory helps to explain the upward sloping shape of the aggregate supply curve.

Explanation:

The price tends to be sticky for a number of reasons.  

  1. Firms will need to incur menu costs if they constantly change prices
  2. Frequent change in prices may annoy the customers
  3. The wage rates remain the same even after change in price because the  wages are based on contracts

The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping because of the stickiness of price, there is a positive and direct relationship between output and price. Due to the high expected price level in the short run, the firms will expect the input prices to rise along with an increase in the product price.  

To counter the increase in inputs price, the product price is kept high. The higher price provides motivation to produce more. That's why the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.

mestny [16]

Answer:

$ 686

Explanation:

Given:

Amount paid = $ 1000

Discount offered = 2/10 = 2%

Value of returned merchandise = $ 300

Cash received = $ 1000 - $ 300 = $ 700

now 2 % deduction for the return within the given return period

thus,

net cash received = $ 700 - ( 2% of $ 700 )

or

net cash received = $ 700 - $ 14

hence,

net cash received = $ 686
