Perfectly competitive firms will: increase output up to the point that the marginal revenue of an additional unit of output is e
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

increase output up to the point that the marginal revenue of an additional unit of output is equal to the marginal cost.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

Perfectly competitive firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P = MR = MC.

Where;

P is the profit.

MR is the marginal revenue.

MC is the marginal cost.

jonny [76]

Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning capital = $80,000

Net income = $35,000

Drawings = $18,000

Net income is added to opening capital and deduct drawings to arrive at capital balance at the end.

Capital at the end of the year = opening capital + net income - drawings

                                                 = 80,000 + 35,000 - 18,000

                                                 = $97,000

Why is cash flow important to government entities? How does an administrator plan for cash flow? What tools are available for th
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Cash flow is important to government entities because:

As with non-government entities, cash flow is important to government organizations because it is required for the operations of any organization regardless of whether they are government-owned or not, for-profit or not.

The measurable difference in the cash balance of any organization from one period to the next is referred to as Cashflow. No business or entity can continue operations if they keep taking out or spending more cash than they can make.

An administrator can plan for cash flow using a Cash Flow Planner.

This can take the form of a simple excel spread sheet  with one column showing on one side all the monies that one is expecting to come in (Account Receivables) and an adjacent column showing all the monies one is expecting to pay out (Account payables).

At the bottom of the excel, you can show the bank balance.

There are specialised apps that help perform this function. An example would be Quickbooks, Planware, Cash Flow Planner, etc.

Cheers!
