Answer:
The correct answer is: declines; higher economic; will incur losses.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive firm has 1,000 firms that are operating in the long-run equilibrium.
Out of these firms, 100 firms have adopted a new technology that has caused their average cost of production to decline.
These firms will be able to produce more output at the same cost. As a result, their supply will increase, this will cause the price to decline.
The firms with new technology that are facing a lower average cost of production will earn positive economic profits as they have lower costs.
The firms with old technology that have higher production costs will incur economic losses as they have higher costs.

Answer:
Substitute Effect
Explanation:
When a product's price increases, it becomes relatively expensive compared to its alternatives. The high price will encourage consumers to choose other goods that are relatively cheaper. Consequently, the price increase reduces the demand for the product while increases the demand for its substitutes.
The substitution effect describes how consumption is affected by an increase or a decrease in a product's price.
Answer: $57
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
Opportunity cost of going to the theater:
Earning at work = $9 per hour × 3 hours
= $27
Theater ticket cost = $30
Therefore, total opportunity cost of going to the theater is as follows;
= Earning at work + Theater ticket cost
= $27 + $30
= $57
Answer:
Equal to
Explanation:
Financial theory assumes that financial markets are efficient and that there is no information failure in conducting financial transactions. However, this is an assumption and there could, in some instances, be asymmetric information in the form of adverse selection and moral hazards. For example, if managers of a corporation know how well or how poorly their business is doing than stockholders (as organizational performance determines the price of a security), then there would be an information failure or informational inefficency. Also, a potential investor who cannot distinguish between a firm whose security has a high potential for profit and low risks compared to that with a low potential for profit and high risk will be willing to pay a price that lies between the value of stock from bad firms and the value of stock from good firms. This will not augur well for good firms as their stock is underpriced and they will be reluctant to sell.
When the financial market is efficient, investors of stock would be able to earn supernormal returns on their investments. It is therefore neccessary that the price of a corporation's common stock should be equal to the present value estimate of the firm's expected cash flows discounted by it appropriate rate of return.
