Answer:

The price will be higher and output lower in absence of competition.

Explanation:

When the market does not have enough competition, it provides a certain degree of market power to the existing producers. They are able to regulate prices and output.

It is likely that the suppliers will provide a fewer quantities of goods at a higher price, in order to maximize their profits. The socially optimal level of output will not be produced in the market.

The resources will not be efficiently allocated and deadweight loss will exist.

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit) $585,000 $585,000

Variable expenses 409,500 351,000

Contribution margin 175,500 234,000

Fixed expenses 180,000 252,000

Net operating loss $(4,500) $( 18,000)

New Cm ratio= Contribution Margin/ Sales Revenue

= $ 234,000 $ 585,000 = 0.4

Break-even point in dollars= Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Cost/ Sales)

= 252,000/ 1- (351,000/ 585,000)

= 252,000/ 1-0.6

= 252,000/0.4= $ 630,000

The resulting $ 630,000 is the break even point at which neither a loss nor a profit is incurred.This can be checked as follows.

Sales $ 630,000

Variable Costs ( 60 % $ 630,000) $ 378,000

Contribution Margin $ 252,000

Less Fixed Expense <u>$ 252,000</u>

Profit <u> 0 </u>

Break even point in units = Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin in units

= $ 252,000/ (30-18)

=$ 252,000/ $ 12= 21,000 units

Sales (26,000 units at $30 per unit) $780,000 $780,000

Variable expenses 546,000 468,000

Contribution margin 234,000 312,000

Fixed expenses 180,000 252,000

Net operating Profit $ 54,000 $ 60,000

Working:

Variable Costs per unit = $ 409500/19500= $ 21

After reduction variable costs = $ 21- $3= $ 18

Twenty years ago, you began investing $250 a month. because your investments earned an average of 8 percent a year, your investm

DaniilM [7]

You invest $250/mo. over 12 months that equals $3,000 invested per year.
$250*12=$3,000/per year invested
$3,000 per year for 20 years equals $60,000 invested.
$3,000*20=$60,000 invested
8% of $60,000 is $4,800/per year.
0.08*$60,000=$4,800
$4,800 per year for 20 years equals $96,000 dollars earned on investments over 20 years.
