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.

Last year, Cayman Corporation had sales of $7,000,000, total variable costs of $3,000,000, and total fixed costs of $1,500,000.
UNO [17]

Answer:

b. 13.9%

Explanation:

sales                   7,000,000

variable cost   <u>  (3,000,000)  </u>

contribution       4,000,000

fixed cost           (1,500,000)

interest              <u>   (480,000)  </u>

EBT                     2,020,000

tax expense          (707,000)

net income           1,313,000

contribution margin 4,000,000 / 7,000,000 = 4/7

if sales increase by 7%:

7,000,000 x 0.07 x 4/7 x (1- 0.35) = 182,000

income after increase in sales: 1,313,000 + 182,000 = 1,495,000

increase in earnings: 1,495,000 / 1,313,000 - 1 = 0.138613861 = 13.9%

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

$7.38

Explanation:

The average cost method recalculates a new cost per unit with each and every purchase made. This new costs would then be used to calculate the costs of goods sold and inventory value.

Average cost per unit = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale

                                    = (200 x  $7 + 800 x $7 + 600  x $8) ÷ 1,600

                                    = $7.375 or $7.38

The average cost per unit for May is $7.38
