Answer:

b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market refers to market has many buyers and sellers will all the market selling the undifferentiated product without any difference.

Some of the others attributes of a perfectly competitive market are that buyers and sellers have perfect information about the price of a good,  no barriers to entry and exit, similar products are being sold, there are free entry and exit to the market, and all sellers are price takers.

All sellers are price takers implies that the price of good is determined or given by the market. Therefore, any attempt to increase the price beyond the price given by the market will result into a zero sale because the buyers will immediately switch to another seller selling at the market price which lower.

Based on the above explanation, AgCo will sell no bushels of corn because its prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn is higher than the current market price for a bushel of corn of $4.00.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": apply the assumption that people behave as if they act rationally with an aim to maximize utility.

According to this theory, people's behaviors are based on <em>rationality, all the information that they have available, </em>and <em>past experiences. </em>

Some of the rational expectations theory's premises are that <em>people hold expectations that will be met, variables values (price, output, and employment) are taken into account, </em>and <em>individuals are always trying to maximize their profits.</em>
