Explanation:
Answer:
$6.25 per ton of coal
Explanation:
the depletion base = purchase cost + restoration costs
- purchase cost = $20 million
- restoration costs = $6 million
depletion base = $26,000,000
depletion rate per ton of coal = (depletion base - salvage value) / estimated reserves = ($26,000,000 - $1,000,000) / 4,000,000 = $6.25 per ton of coal
The depletion rate follows the same concepts as depreciation of fixed assets, but instead of using a fixed asset, you are extracting materials and decreasing the value of the deposits.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The market demand curve in perfect competition slopes downward.
Price is determined by the intersection of market demand and supply; under perfect competition, the individual firms don't have any influence on the market price.
Individual firms become price takers when the market price is determined by market supply and demand forces. Individual firms are forced to charge the equilibrium price of the market or the consumers would purchase the product from the many other firms in the market who are charging a lower price. The demand curve for an individual firm is, therefore, the same as the equilibrium price in the market
All individual firms are price takers in a perfectly competitive market. The price is determined by the intersection of market supply and demand curves.
The demand curve for an individual firm is not the same as the market demand curve. The market demand curve slopes downward, whereas the firm's demand curve is a horizontal line.
The firm's horizontal demand curve indicates a price elasticity of demand that is perfectly elastic
The horizontal demand curve of an individual firm indicates that the elasticity of demand for the good is perfectly elastic. This means that if any individual firm charged a price somewhat above market price, it would not sell any products.
Offering a firm's product at a lower price than the competitors is a strategy usually used to enhance market share. In a perfectly competitive market, firms cannot reduce their product price without experiencing a negative profit. Thus, assuming that each firm is a profit-maximizer, it will sell its output at the market price.
