In a competitive market conditions, there are large number of buyers and sellers. All the firms in this market condition are selling identical products or we can say that all the goods are perfect substitutes.
Suppose if the firms earning negative economic profit then they continue to operate until the price of their goods is greater than the average variable cost and they shut down their production if the price of their goods is lower than the average variable cost.
A firm can experience normal profit, loss or supernormal in the short run.

Explanation: Higher interest rates tend to attract foreign investment, increasing the demand for and value of the home country's currency. Foreign investment involves capital flows from one country to another, granting extensive ownership stakes in domestic companies and assets. Foreign investment denotes that foreigners have an active role in management as a part of their investment. One major spur of this inflow and outflow is the existing interest rate a country offers. Higher interest rates increases inflow of capital. The opposite is true for countries with lower interest rates, as there is an outflow of capital to countries having higher interest rates.
Answer: Employers should offer employees enough opportunity to keep each of their drives in balance.
Explanation:
The Four-Drive Theory is a way of improving Employee motivation through more ways than just financial incentives. It is believed that all four factors are very integral in the motivation of employees and so managers would do well to implement them to get the best out of their employees.
The Four drives are, <em>Acquire and Achieve</em>, <em>Bond and Belong</em>, <em>Create and Challenge</em> and <em>Define and Defend</em>.
A key recommendation by the proponents of this theory is that Managers should not give their employees too little or too much opportunity to follow each drive but rather give them enough opportunity that they keep each drive balanced with the others.
