The equilibrium point in a competitive market exists at the point of optimal market efficiency.

<h3>What is competitive market?</h3>

A competitive market exists a term in economics that guides to a marketplace where there exist a large number of buyers and sellers and no single buyer or seller can influence the market. Competitive markets have no obstacles to entry, lots of buyers and sellers, and homogeneous products.

In economics, especially general equilibrium theory, A perfect market also understood as an atomistic market, is determined by several idealizing requirements, collectively anointed perfect competition or atomistic competition.

No, the monopoly can never be additional efficient than the perfectly competitive market because the competitive market exists at the point of optimal market efficiency and the monopoly will deliver at the point where the MR and the MC stand equal. here the market has the excess capability and a dead weight loss.

During March, Patt, Inc. purchases and uses 8,800 pounds of materials costing $35,640 to make 4,000 tiles. Patt's standard mater

omeli [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total material cost variance

= (Standard quantity × standard price) - (actual quantity × actual price)

= (4,000 tiles × 2 pounds of material × $4) - (8,800 pounds × $35,640 ÷ 8,800 pounds)

= (8,000 pounds × $4) - ($8,800 pounds × $4.05)

= $3,640 unfavorable

For material price variance

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 8,800 × ($4 - $4.05)

= $440 unfavorable

For material quantity variance

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $4 × (8,000 pounds - 8,800 pounds)

= $3,200 unfavorable

The favorable variance is that in which the standard cost is more than the actual cost and the inverse goes to unfavorable variance

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$2.5 per share

Explanation:

Earning Per share is the amount of earning for the period that allocated to each share. Normally it is calculated using common shares. The earning used in this calculation is purely the earning that is associated with the shareholders of the company. We can have this earning after deducting all the expenses and preferred dividend as well.

Formula:

Earnings per share = Net Income / Numbers of common Shares

Earnings per share = $450,000 / 180,000

Earnings per share = $2.5 per share

Suppose the number of firms you compete with has recently increased. You estimated that as a result of the increased competition

marysya [2.9K]

Answer and Explanation:

An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.

3-2/2 X 100 = 50%

The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666

The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67
