Answer:

a. increase price in the short run but not in the long run.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is one in which firms in an economy produce similar goods, and use resources that are limited in quantity.

An increase in demand will result in a corresponding increase in price, and results in firms making high profits. In the diagram below it results in a shift of demand from D1 to D2.

In the long run as firms have low barrier to entry more firms enter the market and supply shifts from S1 to S2. There is reduction in prices and profits start to fall. This is illustrated in the second diagram.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The company's degree of operating leverage is closest to $840000

Explanation:

Selling price per unit = Sales revenue / No. of bags sold

= $1560000/200000 bags = $7.8 per bag

Variable cost per unit=Total variable expenses/No. of units

= $840000/200000 units = $4.2 per bag

Company’s unit contribution margin = Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit

= $7.8 per unit-$4.2 per unit = $3.6 per unit

Company's degree of operating leverage = Variables manufacturing expense + Variable selling and administrative expense

=$660000+$180000 = $840000
