pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(A). People may expect earnings to fall in the future, perhaps because the firm will be faced with increased competition.

Explanation:

Price Earnings ratio of a company represents market price per share of a company's stock in relation to it's earnings per share.

Price Earnings ratio(PER) is given by the following formula:

PER = \frac{Market\ Price\ Per\ Share}{Earnings\ Per\ Share}

A lower P/E Ratio indicates that a company's market price of a share is lower relative to it's earnings. This means the company's stock is undervalued.

It can also mean that the company's earnings have increased which in turn has increased it's earnings per share.  

Investors in general expect lower earnings in future for the stock of a company with low P/E Ratio.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<em>When firms exit a market, the short-run market supply curve shifts left, causing individual firms’ profits to increase.</em>

Explanation:

The process of <em>free entry and exit of firms</em> is in a sequence as explained under-

  1. If there is higher demand in the market of the product as compared to its supply, then each firm in the market will receive higher price for its product.
  2. This will increase the prices of the product, enabling higher profits for each firm. This will make the industry attractive, enabling the introduction of newer firms in the market.
  3. When the new firms enter the industry, the prices of the product in the market will drop due to higher competition, now present currently. This will lead to lowering of profits for the firms in the industry.
  4. This will make the industry non-attractive and thereby the less competitive and less effective firms will exit the market in the short run.
  5. This exit of firms from the industry, will lead to higher prices again due to less supply of product in the market as compared to its demand. Hence, the profits of the firms present in the industry will increase.

Thus, it can be concluded that <em>when firms exit a market, the short-run market supply curve shifts left, causing individual firms’ profits to increase.</em>

You are the manager of a firm that produces products X and Y at zero cost. You know that different types of consumers value your
arlik [135]

Answer and Explanation:

a)

If you charge $40 for X then everyone will buy as everyone is willing to pay atleast $40. this means all three groups buy that is 3*1000 buyers.So profit from X = 3000*40= $120,000

And since everyone is willing to willing to pay atleast $60 for Y again all three groups will buy so profit from Y =3000*60=$180,000

profits=$300,000

b)

If you charge $90 and $160 for X and Y respectively you will have only 1000 buyers for each product as others are unwilling to pay this much.

So profits = 1000*90 + 1000*160=$250,000

c)

for a bundle of X and Y buyers are willing to pay a total of $150, $210 and $200 across the three categories.

So everyone will buy a bundle of 1 X and 1 Y.

profits = 150*3000= $450,000

d)

If you charge $210 only the second will buy as they are willing to pay that much so profits =1000*210=$210,000

Also by selling X at $90 group 1 will buy X; profits=1000*90=$90,000

and by selling Y at $160 group 3 will buy Y; profits=1000*160=$160,000

total profits =$460,000
