Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

In a monopolistically competitive industry, there are many firms which are selling similar products but products are not perfect substitutes. They generally have no control over the market price of the commodity.

Monopolistic competitive firms facing a downward sloping demand curve. Each of firm in this market condition is having a normal profit in the long run and no firm can earn economic profit.

These firms operate with a excess capacity because of the occurrence of zero profit tangency equilibrium. That's why the firms in this market are generally having the capability to produce larger amount of output at a lower average cost than the firm's current production level.

d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP

The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure

Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP

The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export

Today only, a table is being sold for $217 . this is 62% of its regular price. what was the price yesterday?

Troyanec [42]

If yesterday's price was the regular price then the equation $217=62%x can be used to solve for x. so x = $217/0.62=$350. To check the answer, multiply $350 by 0.62 = $217. In other words, x is the unknown regular price so 0.62 times x = $217 and then cross multiplying means dividing $217 by 0.62, to get the answer.

Trusper Company was organized on January 1, Year 1 and has had 1,000 shares of $200 par value, 10% cumulative preferred stock ou

Masja [62]

Answer:

Trusper Company

The total amount of dividends that will be paid to common stockholders during Year 2 is:

$40,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

10% cumulative preferred stock = $200,000 ($200 * 1,000)

Common stock = $3,000 (3,000 * $1)

Dividends in Year 1 for cumulative preferred stockholders = $20,000 ($200,000 * 10%)

Dividends outstanding after Year 1 for cumulative preferred stockholders = $15,000 ($20,000 - $5,000)

Dividends for Year 2 for cumulative preferred stockholders = $35,000 ($20,000 + $15,000).

Total dividend paid to common stockholders during Year 2 = $40,000 ($75,000 - $35,000)

b) The unpaid cumulative preferred stock dividend of $15,000 for Year 1 will be added to the dividend of the Year 2. The common stockholders are not paid any dividends in Year 1. But in Year 2, they will get $40,000 after the cumulative preferred stock dividends are paid.
