Answer: $3,600

Explanation:

For gautamala government to reduce imports to 60 tons of maize, the government must set a tariff that which would raise the price of maize to the point where the domestic quantity demanded exceeds Guatamala domestic quantity supplied by exactly 60 tons of maize.

A $60-per-ton tariff on maize would raise the domestic price of maize to ($330 per ton). This would be $60 per ton higher than the world price per ton which stands at $270.

When the price is $330 per ton, the domestic quantity demanded would increase to 240 tons, and the domestic quantity supplied would be 160 tons of maize.

A tariff set at this level would raise revenue for the Guatamala government.

$60-per-ton tariff on maize would cause Guatamala to import 60 tons of maize.

This sums up to $60per ton × 60ton

= $3600

The tariff would raise $3600 revenue for the Guatamala government.

In competitive markets, a surplus or shortage will select one:
Andrej [43]

Answer: c.  

In a  competitive market, there are many producers competing to provide consumers the products they needed and thus they cannot dictate prices.

If a surplus occurs, there is an excess of quantity supplied and since producers won't be able to sell all their products, they tend or are forced to lower their price.

The reverse happens when there is a shortage. When there is less supply in the market, price increases.

Surplus and shortage in a competitive market, therefore, will cause shifts in the demand and supply curves that tend to eliminate the surplus or shortage.

If price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in t
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

produce at an economic loss.

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.

In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.

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

Hence, if price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in the short run, a perfectly competitive firm will produce at an economic loss.

Additionally, Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.

Stells [14]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A lottery ticket states that you will receive $250 every year for the next ten years.

A)  i=0.06      ordinary annuity

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payment

FV= {250*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= $3,295.20

PV= 3,295.20/1.06^10=1,840.02

B) i=0.06 annuity due (beginning of the year)

FV= 3,295.20 + [(250*1.06^10)-1]= $3492.91

PV= 3492.91/1.06^10= $1,950.42

C) The interest gets compounded for one more period in an annuity due.
