Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

In a competitive market, all firms produce identical goods and services. No firm or seller can influence the prevailing market price. To increase their revenue, firms must increase their outputs.

In this industry, firms make economic profit(revenue minus accounting cost minus implicit cost) in the short run but this economic profit reduces to zero in the long run because more firms that are attracted by the short run profit can enter the industry freely. Firms can also exit with little or no cost.

What is the difference between excluded services and services that are not reasonable and necessary?
Kitty [74]
Excluded services are those services which health insurance companies do not pay for. Those services may be needed or necessary but they are not covered by the health insurance plan and the person concerned will have to pay for the service himself. Services that are not reasonable or necessary refer to those services which are not deem necessary in the treatment of a patient.

Determine the market potential for a backpack that has 200,000 prospective buyers who purchase an average of 2 backpack per year
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

i.The total number of a company sell if it desires a 10% share of this market? is 40,000 units

ii. The % of the market supplies that should capture to break even is 5%

Explanation:

To calculate break even point in unit, use the formula;

Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin.

In this question, Fixed cost is the factory lease cost of one year for $400,000

Contribution margin is the difference betwen Selling Price and Variable Cost.

This will be $50-$30=$20

Therefore, Break even point in unit = $400,000 divided by $20

this will give 20,000 units.

20,000 units is 5% of the market size of (200,000X2) 400,000 units.

I.e. (20,000/400,000)X100=5%
