Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The net income is the difference between the sales and total cost which comprises of the variable cost and fixed cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.
Let
u = number of units
s = selling price per unit
v = variable cost per unit
F = Fixed cost
I = Net income
I = su - F - vu
but vu = 0.3su
Hence
I = su - 0.3su - F = 0.7su - F
Given that the proposal will increase sales by $12,000,
New sales = su + 12000 ( in $)
and total fixed costs by $8,400
New fixed cost = F + 8400
New variable cost = 0.3( su + 12000) = 0.3su + 3600
New net income = su + 12000 - 0.3su - 3600 - F - 8400
= 0.7su - F
New net income is same as the old net income hence no increase.
Answer:

Explanation:
The assumption in perfect competition that there is an easy entry and exit from the market implies that firms will make a zero economic profit in the long run.
<h3>Why do firms make a zero economic profit?</h3>
In a pure competition, companies are allowed to freely enter and leave.
They take advantage of this to enter a market when prices are high and economic profit is being made.
As more firms enter, the economic profit keeps decreasing as prices decrease until this profit gets to zero and then turns to economic losses.
At this point, some firms will leave the market to stop making losses. When they do, the supply will decrease which leads to prices rising once more.
The cycle will then repeat itself and keep the companies at a zero economic profit in the long run.
