Answer:

The correct answer is: declines; higher economic; will incur losses.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm has 1,000 firms that are operating in the long-run equilibrium.  

Out of these firms, 100 firms have adopted a new technology that has caused their average cost of production to decline.  

These firms will be able to produce more output at the same cost. As a result, their supply will increase, this will cause the price to decline.  

The firms with new technology that are facing a lower average cost of production will earn positive economic profits as they have lower costs.  

The firms with old technology that have higher production costs will incur economic losses as they have higher costs.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a) Product G should be produced and sold

b) Net financial advantage      $80

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

                                                                                            $

Revenue after split-off point  

($9×  40 litres)                                                                 360

Revenue at the slit of point  

($4 ×   40)                                                                        <u> (160)</u>

Additional income from further processing                  200

Further processing cost ($3× 40)                                  <u>(120)</u>

Incremental income from further processing                <u> 80</u>

Incremental income from further processing = $80

a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.

b) Net advantage                                               $80

Answer: Bond holders                                          

                 

Explanation: In simple words, bondholders refers to the creditors of the organisation. The holders of the bond are not the owners as they are paid fixed interest and are not able to participate in the decision making of the company.

In the event of liquidation, bondholders are paid first because it is assumed that the decision makers should be punished for the liquidation and hence they should be paid at last.
