Do you think it is easier to increase or decrease government spending

1 answer:

4 0

It is much easier to increase government spending, because it gives a temporary boost, whereas decreasing it would take away the benefits you had before, and might mess up other "things" that relied on that part you just removed to decrease government spending.

. In the short run, a firm operating in a competitive industry will shut down if price is a. less than average total cost. b. gr

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The answer is: D) less than average variable cost.

Explanation:

If a company shuts down its production temporarily (not permanently), it will stop receiving revenue from the goods it used to produce but at the same time it will not be spending any money on variable costs. The company will suffer losses equivalent to its fixed costs (e.g. depreciation costs, rent, etc.).

A company decides to shut down its production when the revenue it receives from selling its products doesn't even cover their variable costs. That means it is losing money by producing its goods.

All of the following are assumptions of the perfectly competitive model except: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard naviga

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Perfectly competitive market consists of a large number of firms, and each firm is small relative to the entire market. This makes firms unable to set the prices for their goods.

It is the monopoly and oligopoly market structure that is characterised by high entry and exit into the market

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $13 per unit and whose variable expense is $1

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price = $13 per unit

Variable expense = $11 per unit

Fixed expense = $4,600

Computation:

Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed expense / [Selling price - Variable expense]

Break-even point in unit sales = 4,600 [13-11]

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Contribution margin = [(13-11)] / 13 = 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed expense / Contribution margin

Break-even point in dollar sales = $4,600 / 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = [4,600+600][13-11]

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales = Fixed expense / Contribution margin

New break-even point in dollar sales = $5,200 / 15.38%

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)
