A perfectly competitive firm and a monopolistic firm in the long-run equilibrium face exactly the same demand and cost curves, then they will also <u>earn zero </u><u>economic profits</u><u>, and attain the lowest possible unit costs (D).</u>

<u />

Economic profit is the total revenue minus the total cost of a product produced by a firm. Cost in this term include the measurement of oppotunity cost.

Perfectly competitive firm is a firm in a market with many buyers and sellers and the price of products represents the equililbrium point between supply and demand. A firm in this market has almost no power to affect the product price.

In the long-run, a perfectly competitive firm will earn 0 (zero) economic profit, while earn accounting profits. This condition happens because entry and exit barriers for firms in perfect competitive market is low. Many firms can easily enter and exit the market.

Monopolistic firm is a firm in a market where many firms are producing similar but differentiated products. The entry barriers for thiis market is relatively low and the decisions of any firm do not dirrectly affecting its competitor within the market.

In the long-run, monopolistic firm will earn zero economic profits because the low entry barriers easily allows new competitors to join the market and reduce an old-player firm's demand. This condition push a firm to make its demand curve to be more elastic. Any change in the demand curve will also affecting a firm's marginal revenue curve as well. This situation then leads a firm to no-longer make an economic profit condition.

However, to ensure their sustainability in their respective markets, both firms will attain the lowes possible unit costs to earn accounting profits.

Elis [28]

Based on my knowledge of inflation and its redistribution of purchasing power, I would advise my older parents to embark on Plan B by <u>purchasing a business</u>.

<h3>How does inflation redistribute purchasing power?</h3>

Inflation redistributes purchasing power by giving less value to lenders and savers than to borrowers and investors.

The purchasing power of a fixed money plan decreases.  On the other hand, the purchasing power from variable investment changes with inflation.

A business would also increase its value over time more than a fixed investment.

Thus, based on my knowledge of inflation and its redistribution of purchasing power, I would advise my older parents to embark on Plan B by <u>purchasing a business</u>.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

OCF $20,562

Explanation:

Computation of Pompeii, Inc., operating cash flow

Using this formula

OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

Where:

EBIT 24,000

Depreciation Expense 2,100

Taxes 5,538

Let plug in the formula

OCF = $24,000 + 2,100 - 5,538

OCF = $20,562

Therefore the Operating Cash flow is $20,562

Calculation for EBIT

Sales $48,500 - Costs $22,400 -Depreciation expense $2,100 = 24,000

Calculation for taxes

EBIT -Interest

24,000-1,850

=22,150

25%×22,150

=5,538
