Answer:

C) stay the same; stay the same; increase

Explanation:

A monpolistically competitive market is a market where there are many buyers and sellers. It has both the features of a monopoly and perfect competition.

If in the short run, the fixed cost of a monpolistically competitive firm falls, the firm would not be able to make any adjustment to production because in the short run, some factors of production are fixed. So, price and output remains the same while economic profit increases due to a reduction in cost.

Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost

TwitterMe, Inc., is a new company and currently has negative earnings. The company’s sales are $1,500,000 and there are 135,000
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

(a) $61.11

(b) $54.44

Explanation:

1)

Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales

                          =  5.5 × 1,500,000

                         = $8,250,000

Thus,

Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding

                       = 8,250,000 ÷ 135,000

                       = $61.11

Thus, I would pay $61.11 for the stock.

2)

Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales

                          =  4.9 × 1,500,000

                         = $7,350,000

Thus,

Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding

                       = $7,350,000 ÷ 135,000

                       = $54.44

Thus, I would pay $54.44 for the stock.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

On October 01, 2017

The amount actually borrowed that is $ 701,000 will be recorded as liability/note payable on october 01, 2017. The following accounting entry will be passed

Debit Cash Asset           $ 701,000

Credit Note payable       $ 701,000

Interest recognized from October 1 to December 31, 2017

The premium amount paid on redemption will be recorded as interest over the period of time. The interest amount is

Interest = 721,000 -701,000 = $ 20,000

So this above calculated expense will be recognized as an expense over loan period.

What are five foundations of economics? increasing trade between two countries makes everyone in those countries better off.
geniusboy [140]

The five foundations of trade are:

  • incentives
  • tradeoffs
  • opportunity cost
  • marginal thinking,
  • principle that trade creates value.

<h3>Why do we engage in trade?</h3>

There are five main foundations of trade that are the reason why people engage in trade. One of them is the profit incentive to make money from trade. Another is the tradeoffs that people are forced to make to survive.

Opportunity cost also leads to trade because people give up one thing for another and so may have to sell the thing they gave up to receive the thing they want. There is also the principle which posits that when we trade, value is created. Finally, there is marginal thinking which is thinking along the lines of the benefit of one additional unit.
