In the long run, each firm in a competitive industry earns

Business

madam [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In a competitive industry there is no restriction on entry or exit of firms in the market. So, when in the short run the firms are enjoying super normal profits or positive economic profits, this would attract potential firms to join the industry in the long run.

As a result the industry supply will increase in the long run. The increase in supply would cause the price to fall. This would further contribute in reducing revenue and profit.

This process will continue till the profit is reduced to zero. If profit falls below zero, then firms incurring loss will exit the industry. Then again zero profits will be restored by reduction in supply and increase in price.

So, we can say that perfectly competitive firms will have zero economic profits or only normal profits in the long run.

The Water Sports Company soon will be producing and marketing a new model line of motor boats. The production manager, Michael J
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

X - number of units sold

Total cost for production = 1,500,000 + 1600X

Total cost for purchasing = 2000X

a.  For 4000 units sold

Total cost for production = 1,500,000 + 1600 * 4000 = $7,900,000

Total cost for purchasing = 2000* 4000 =  $8,000,000

In this case producing is cheaper. Therefore, it is better to produce

b. Y - break-even point

Then :  1,500,000 + 1600 * Y = 2000* Y

So 1,500,000 = 400 Y

Y = 3750

At №of units less than 3750 purchasing will be the better option

And above 3750 producing will be the better option

Jimmer’s nominal income will go up by 10 percent next year. Inflation is expected to be – 2 percent next year. By approximately
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Nominal interest rate (n) = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate (i) = -2% = -0.02  

Real interest rate (r) = ?  

Application of Fisher's Equation                                                      

(I + n) =   (1 + r)(1 + i)

(1 + 0.10)  = (1 + r)(1 + -0.02)

1.10 = (1 + r)(0.98)

<u>1.10</u> = 1 + r

0.98

1.1224 = 1 + r

1.1224 - 1 = r      

r = 0.1224 = 12.24%

Jimmer's real income will change by 12.24% next year.                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Explanation:

In the determination of the rate of change in real income, there is need          to apply Fisher's equation. The nominal rate and inflation rate have been given, thus, we will make the real rate the subject of the formula.
