Answer:
the supply will decrease causing an increase in pricing on mattresses.
Explanation:
Monopolism occurs when only one supplier produces a product with no other competitors. They control the supply and price of commodities.
Since other mattresse sellers have closed shop, the final seller will have monopoly of the mattresse market.
In order to maximise revenue he will reduce supply and increase prices so that customers will have no choice but to buy the scarce mattresse at higher price.

The amount they need to save is the down payment for the house:
= 800,000 * 15%
= $120,000
They are saving a total of:
= 1,050 + 490

You should get 70.5 months.
In years this is:
= 70.5/12

Answer:
Shut down
$1650
$1500
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
in the shut run, a perfect competition should shut down if average variable cost is greater than price. this is the case for this firm $10 is greater than $8.
total fixed cost = average fixed cost x quantity produced = $11 x 150 = $1650
Total variable cost = average variable cost x quantity produced = $10 x 150 = $1500

So, these are treated as 'product costs' and 'expenses' when the goods are sold. They are not period costs as per Option A and option C. Option B which says that it is product costs when incurred, which is also incorrect.
Examples of indirect costs can be accounting and legal expenses, rent, telephone expenses, salaries of administrative.
Direct costs includes the costs of direct 'labor', materials and commissions.
