Answer:

The correct answer is: enter the market; exit the market.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, there is no restriction on entry and exit of firms. So profits will attract other potential firms to join the market. And when the existing firm incurs losses it will cause them to stop operating and exit the market.  

Because of this, the firms in competitive settings are motivated to produce at a low cost and they come up with new ideas to please customers so that they earn a profit.

creativ13 [48]

Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000

Explanation:

The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:

= 79,000 - 69,000

= $10,000

The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:

= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead

= 243,000 + 10,000

= $253,000

The shape of a production possibility curve is downward-sloping because ____________________. Select the correct answer below: y
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

you can get more of one good only by giving up some of another good

Explanation:

A production possibilities frontier shows the opportunity cost of producing one good instead of another. This way, as you follow the curve, the combination of goods will vary, increasing the production of one good but deceasing the production of the other.

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Since resources are scarce, you must always give something up in order to obtain another thing, e.g. you give up your leisure time in order to study.
