Answer:

C) There was no price control on gasoline at the time.

Explanation:

During the 1970s the US government established a price ceiling on gasoline, but as all price ceilings set below the equilibrium price, it results in both a deadweight loss and a supply shortage.

Since the price is "too cheap", then the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied. Rising costs in gasoline production made things worst, since suppliers were constantly reducing their supply of gasoline, while consumer demand was constantly increasing.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: d) None of the above

Explanation:

The profit on the sale is not a referral fee as Joanna did not facilitate a transaction between her clients and the people she bought the products for.

It is not a commission either because it is not a percentage of the products price earned as an incentive or extra fee for selling the products.

Her selling these products is allowed.

The answer is therefore None of the Above.

In the long run equilibrium, a monopolistic competitor will produce to the point at which A) actual average total costs are at t
Artemon [7]

Monopolistic competition is the economic market model with many sellers selling similar, but not identical, products. The demand curve of monopolistic competition is elastic because although the firms are selling differentiated products, many are still close substitutes, so if one firm raises its price too high, many of its customers will switch to products made by other firms. This elasticity of demand makes it similar to pure competition where elasticity is perfect. Demand is not perfectly elastic because a monopolistic competitor has fewer rivals then would be the case for perfect competition, and because the products are differentiated to some degree, so they are not perfect substitutes.

Monopolistic competition has a downward sloping demand curve. Thus, just as for a pure monopoly, its marginal revenue will always be less than the market price, because it can only increase demand by lowering prices, but by doing so, it must lower the prices of all units of its product. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms maximize profits or minimize losses by producing that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, both over the short run and the long run.

Winter Company earned revenues of​ $150,000 in cash and​ $200,000 on account during 2018. Of the​ $200,000 on​ account, $63,000
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$235,000

Explanation:

Under the accrual accounting system, expenses are recognized in the period incurred and not necessarily in the period cash is paid.

Revenue is also recognized in the period earned and not necessarily when cash is collected.

Total revenue in 2018 = $200,000 + $150,000

= $350,000

Net income is the difference between the revenue and expense

Net income in 2018 = $350,000 - $115,000

= $235,000
