<span>The characteristic that describes privatization of Social Security is option C) enables Americans to invest their Social Security Contributions in the stock market. This is the most accurate option but still not wholly accurate. There are different proposals for privatizing. Most would have the existing funds used to buy into the market and then the individual person would have different options for how their own funds were then handled within the market. For instance they could take over control of their fund and buy/sell their various shares. Or they could move their shares to be handled by an investment company, or even just leave them in the original shares that were bought by the government during the transition to privatization. Bottom line, the individuals would have some control of there shares in the stock market.</span>

Perfectly competitive firms will: increase output up to the point that the marginal revenue of an additional unit of output is e
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

increase output up to the point that the marginal revenue of an additional unit of output is equal to the marginal cost.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

Perfectly competitive firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P = MR = MC.

Where;

P is the profit.

MR is the marginal revenue.

MC is the marginal cost.

Locus Company has total fixed costs of $118,000. Its product sells for $55 per unit and variable costs amount to $39 per unit. N
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

8,850 units

Explanation:

We know that

Net income = Unit sales × (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) - Fixed cost

$23,600 = Unit sales × ($55 - $39) - $118,000

$23,600 = Unit sales × $16 - $118,000

$23,600 +$118,000 = $16 unit sales

So, unit sales = 8,850 units

The net income is computed below:

= Given percentage × Total fixed cost

= 20% × $118,000

= $23,600
