Answer:
keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run
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.
A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.
A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run
Answer:
c. Purchase cost of existing machine
Explanation:
Relevant costs are the incremental costs that can be avoided by avoiding the functional activity with which the costs are associated.
Maintenance costs are relevant as they are directly linked to the use of machinery and as such are incremental with the use. The same is the case with the maintenance costs of the existing machine as they are avoidable if the new machine is purchased.
Expected cost savings would be incremental with the improved new machine. These cost savings thus are relevant.
Resale value of existing machine are also relevant as these would contribute towards the purchase of new machine.
The purchase price of existing machine is irrelevant as the machine cost has already been paid and regardless of purchasing the new machine or not, this cost is not a part of any calculations.
Hope that helps.
Proportional tax is what we call the tax that is set
to be fixed, regardless of what an individual’s taxable base amount is. An example
of such a tax is sales tax, which remains the same for all income levels.
I believe its called a Systematic Investment Plan?
Answer:
$1.5
Explanation:
Interest is compounded monthly.
The applicable formula for amounts after one month is
A = P + (1 + r)^n
P = principal amount $575
r is interest rate 3.1% per year or 3.1/12 per month =0.26% or 0.0026
n= 1 month
A = $575 +( 1+0.0026)^1
A =$575x 1.0026
A= $576.495
A= $576.5
Interest earned in the month
= $576.5 -$575
=$1.5
