Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Many small firms; making zero profits.

Explanation:

An oligopoly is when the market is controlled by a small group of two or more firms. Businesses in an oligopoly can agree in price collusion and create barriers to entry for new commerce. When they compete against each other they act like perfect competitors which generate a price dropdown and causing zero profits for the firms.

1. Sells identical goods with other firms in the industry.

2. Is a price taker . Prices are set by forces of demand and supply

3. Has many buyers and sellers

4. There are no barriers to entry or exist of firms.

When a monopolistic and competition firm are faced with the same unit cost, a monopolistic firm would aim to earn profit by increasing its price and reducing the quantity produced.

A monopolistic firm is able to charge a higher price for its products while a perfect competition isn't.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$965.075

Explanation:

Payroll taxes for the month of January is = FICA +FUTA +SUTA+

federal income taxes withheld+voluntary deductions for health insurance +contributes retirement plan.

= (0.0145*6350) +(0.006*6350)+(0.054*6350)+216+184+92

= 92.075+38.1+342.9+216+184+92

= 965.075

$965.075

Some money like Social Security is 6.2% of the first $118,500( not added because he's earnings are not up to $118500 and it's yearly stuff) and unemployment taxe is not added because his earnings is not up to $7000

Which of the following is a correct statement?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

In purely competitive firms, there are many buyers and sellers that no single buyer or seller can influence the price of goods. They accept the price set by the market conditions which depend on the market supply and demand. Firms in this market are price-takers.

In monopolistic firm, no one is competing against him. He is the only one in the industry. He is the only seller while buyers are many. In most cases, buyers do not have alternative than to buy the product. Because of this, the firm in monopoly sets its price. He is a price-maker.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Present value of zero coupon bond = $283

Explanation:

Provided that zero coupon bonds are to be issued.

In zero coupon bonds issue price is less than face value to meet the needs.

Interest rate = 13%

Duration = 10 years, Paid semiannually.

Thus periods = 20

Interest rate = 13 \times \frac{6}{12} = 6.5

Therefore, Present value factor @6.5% for 20 periods = 0.283

Therefore, Value of bond today = $1,000 \times 0.283 = $283
