Price is taken to be a given by an individual firm selling in a purely competitive market because each seller supplies a negligible fraction of total market.

Purely competitive market refers to a marketing situation in which there are a large number of sellers of a product which cannot be differentiated selling a standardized product and therefore, no single firm has a significant influence on the product price.

Retained Earning is an account where all the earnings of the company accumulate and dividend is also paid from this account because it represents the amount the earning associated with the stockholders of the company.

December 31, 2018 Balance of Retained Earning = December 31, 2017 Balance of Retained Earning + Income for the year - Dividend Paid / Declared during the year.

$1,164,000 = $1,440,000 + $1,000,000 - Dividend Paid / Declared during the year.

$1,164,000 = $2,440,000 - Dividend Paid / Declared during the year.

Dividend Paid / Declared during the year = $2,440,000 - $1,164,000

Dividend Paid / Declared during the year = $1,276,000

Stock Dividend Paid - $500,000 + $220,000 = $720,000

Cash Dividend Paid = $1,276,000 - $720,000 = $556,000

Marina86 [1]

Answer:the quantities of some factors of production are fixed; the quantities of all factors of production can be varied - D

Explanation:

In the short run, some factors of production are fixed, which is usually the capital. Therefore for a company to increase output, it would need employ more workers, but would not increase capital.

Therefore in the short run, we can get diminishing marginal returns, which may cause marginal costs to start increasing quickly.

Also, in the short run, prices and wages fall out of equilibrium because a sudden rise in demand may lead to higher prices, and companies may not have the the capacity to respond and increase supply.

Long run

In the long run, usually greater than 6 months, all main factors of production are variable. The company has time to build a bigger one making it respond to changes in demand which means that a sudden rise in demand, would have a complimentary increase in supply to meet the demands and prices can be adjusted.
