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.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The answer is: b

Explanation:

At equilibrium the quantity of oil supplied is equal to the quantity of oil demanded at the equilibrium price. In summer, two events will occur which will trigger a move from equilibrium.

  • A decrease in the supply of oil

Holding all else constant, a leftward shift in the supply curve leads to higher oil prices and lower quantities of oil.

  • An increase in the demand for oil

Holding all else constant, a rightward shift in the demand curve leads to higher oil prices and higher quantities of oil.

In both scenarios, the shifts will result in higher oil prices but the change in quantity is ambiguous.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

c. $229

Explanation:

To compute the total absorption cost per unit we do the following,

Absorption of fixed costs = Fixed costs / units produced

Absorption cost = 200,000 / 4000 = $50/unit

Total cost of each individual unit = 99 + 55 + 25 + 50 = $229

This includes direct material, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and the fixed absorption cost.

With absorption costing we take all the goods produced in a period as denominator for the Fixed costs.

Hope that helps.

If a bank has $500 million of checkable deposits, a required reserve ratio of 15%, and it holds $126 million reserves, then the
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: $51 million

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the required reserve which will be:

= $500 × 15%

= $500 million × 0.15

= $75 million

Then, the excess reserve will be:

= $126 million - $75 million

= $51 million

Therefore, the maximum deposit outflow it can sustain without running into reserve deficiency is $51 million.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The long run is best defined as a time period

  • during which all inputs can be varied.

One thing that distinguishes the short run and the long run is

  • the existence of at least one fixed input.

Explanation:

On the long run, all productive inputs can be changed and/or altered. that includes fixed costs like equipment and machinery, building facilities, processes, wages, etc.

On the short run, at least one of the inputs used to produce our goods or services cannot be changed, e.g. wages tend to be sticky, fixed costs (depreciation of equipment and machinery, buildings, etc.)
