g The perfectly competitive firm's supply curve: Group of answer choices coincides with its perfectly elastic demand curve. is t

natulia [17]

Answer:

is the firm's marginal cost curve above the minimum point on the AVC curve.

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.

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

An aggregate supply curve gives the relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output supplied in an economy at a specific period of time.

Aggregate supply (AS) refers to the total quantity of output (goods and services) that firms are willing to produce and sell at a given price in an economy at a particular period of time.

Hence, a perfectly competitive firm's supply curve is the firm's marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point on the average variable cost (AVC) curve.

Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $74,000 and $3,900, r

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The 9,300 should Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement

Explanation:

The non-collectible accounts expenses on its Year 2 income statement is shown below:

= Ending balance + write off balance - opening balance

= $6,000 + $7,200 - $3,900

=$9,300

The accounts receivable is not to be considered because we have to find out the uncollectible accounts expense, so the account receivable balance should not be taken in the computation part.

Hence, the 9,300 should Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement
