Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms.

A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.

Answer:

1) GDP using product Approach ; Market value of all goods and services produced

= Coconut + Restaurant meal

= 10 million*$2 + ($30 million - $6 million*$2) as 6 million coconuts are sold to restaurant as raw materials so to avoid double counting.

= $20 million + $30 million - $12 million

= $38 million

2) Expenditure Approach : Consumption + Investment + Government Expenditure + Net Exports  

= $4 million * $2 + $30 million + $5.5 million

= $8 million + $30 million + $5.5 million

= $43.5 million

3) Income Approach : Wages + Rent + Interest + Profit

= $5 million + $0.5 million + $1.5 million +$3 million + $4 million + $1 million

= $15 million

Answer:

5500 units per month must be sold to earn the required profit

Explanation:

The target profit is the amount of profit that a business wants to earn. To calculate the target profit, we can use the break even analysis and include the factor for target profit under its formula and calculate the units and the dollar sales needed to earn the target profit.

In this case, the target profit is $50000 per month.

The break even in units = Fixed cost / contribution margin per unit

Contribution margin per unit = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

To calculate units required for target profit, we will add the target profit to the fixed cost and divide by the contribution margin per unit

Target profit units = (fixed cost + target profit) / Contribution margin per unit

So,

Contribution margin per unit = 20 - 10 = $10 per unit

Target profit units = (5000 + 50000) / 10

Target profit units = 5500 units per month

Which of the following is NOT a basic assumption of perfect​ competition? A. Production is characterized by significant economie
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: Production is characterized by significant economies of scale is not an assumption of perfect competition (A)

Explanation:

A perfect competition is a form of market structure that has many buyers and may sellers. In a perfect competition, there is a free entry and exit for producers as there is no barrier.

Also, firms are price takers as no producer can influence the price of the goods in the market unlike in an imperfect competition which is a price maker as producers can influence price. Firms also sell identical products that are the same in quality, size etc.

In a perfect competition, production is not characterized by significant economies of scale. That is an assumption that can be found in monopoly.

Therefore, option A is the right answer.
