Answer:

Option A,4 months

Explanation:

Closing fees =1.5% of the mortgage

mortgage amount is $150,000

closing fees =$150,000*1.5%=$2250

The mortgage monthly payment can be computed using the pmt formula in excel as follows:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the rate per month which is 3.5%/12=0.002916667

nper is 30 years multiplied by 12 =360

pv is the amount of mortgage which is $150,000

fv is the sum of the interest on mortgage and mortgage amount which is unknown

=pmt(0.002916667 ,360,-150000,0)= 673.57  

the final answer=closing fees/monthly payment=$2250 /$673.57  = 3.34  months

The closest option is 4 months

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.

Explanation:

Firms competing in perfectly competitive markets are price takers, meaning that they cannot set the price of their products or services, but monopolists can actually set the price of their products or services because their market power is high enough to do so. Also, a monopolist can choose to lower or increase its output depending on the resulting profits.

This excessive market power is the reason why natural monopolies are usually regulated by the governments and many monopolistic firms are forced to split into smaller firms that compete against each other.
