Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market has large number of sellers producing homogenous products. As a result, no single firm is able to affect the price level. So all the firms have their individual demand curves as a horizontal line at the price level.
This demand curve also represents marginal revenue. The firm is able to maximize profit when the price and marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost.
Here, the revenue earned from the last unit of product is equal to the cot incurred in producing the last unit.
Answer:
Explanation:
Dividends through year 1 to 5:
D1 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^1 = 2.80
D2 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 = 3.63
D3 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^1 = 4.29
D4 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^2 = 8.58
D5 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^3 = 12.86
PV (D1) = 2.80
PV (D2) = 3.63 *PVIF = 3.63 * 0.87719 = 3.19
PV (D3) = 4.29 * 0.76947 = 3.30
PV (D4) = 8.58 * 0.67497 = 5.79
PV (D5) = 12.86 * 0.59208 = 7.62
Total of all PV's = 22.69
Answer:
Peter is maximizing his profit and is making an economic profit.
Explanation:
Peter's Pencils is a pencil producing firm in a perfectly competitive firm.
It produces 1,000 pencils an hour.
The total cost of producing 1,000 pencils is $500.
The market price of each pencil is $2.
The marginal cost of producing the last unit of a pencil at this point is $2.
An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a horizontal line demand curve which also represents the average revenue and marginal revenue.
This means that the marginal revenue earned from the 1,000th pencil is $2.
The marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost, this implies that the firm is maximizing profits.
The average total cost of the firm is
= 
= 
= $0.5
The average total cost is $0.5 which is lower than the price. This means that the firm is earning economic profits.
Actually I got mixed up, the answer i meant to write was B.
