Answer:
1. True
2. False
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous 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.
An example of perfect competition is the market for farm produce.

1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the <u>value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year</u> using <u>this year's prices </u>by the <u>value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year </u>using <u>the base year's prices</u> and multiplying by 100.
This is why the formula for the GDP deflator is = GDP by year n prices/ GDP by base year prices.

Answer:
$760
Explanation:
The computation of the relevant cost is shown below:
= Discounted price per kilogram × number of kilograms - delivery cost
= $6.75 × 120 kilograms - $50
= $810 - $50
= $760
The delivery cost is already involved in the total cost. So, we have to deduct it to find out accurate relevant cost
. The other information which is given is not relevant. So, we ignored it
Answer: The cost of the equipment is $66,500.
Explanation: Under IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of an asset comprises:
- purchase price plus import duties and taxes
- any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management
- the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located
In the question, $60,000 was the purchase price, the transportation cost of $1,000 was necessary to bring the asset to the location intended by management, $3,000 was the sales tax and the installation cost of $2,500 was also necessary for the asset to function as intended by management. So all these costs would be capitalized as the cost of the equipment as $66,500.
