Answer:

either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases

Explanation:

The firm's income statement:

total sales revenue =            $120,000

minus total variable costs = ($72,000)

<u>minus total fixed costs =       ($15,000)  </u>

net profit =                             $33,000

The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price =  average total cost.

In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit

Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:

  1. selling price will decrease
  2. output will decrease

Stock Y has a beta of 1.40 and an expected return of 14.8 percent. Stock Z has a beta of .85 and an expected return of 11.3 perc
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

For Stock Y

= 4.85% + 1.40 × 7.35%

= 4.85% + 10.29%

= 15.14%

For Stock Z

= 4.85% + 0.85 × 7.35%

= 4.85% + 6.2475%

= 11.0975%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium and the same is applied in the answer

As we see the expected return of both the stock So, Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued

Assume the XYZ Corporation is producing 20 units of output. It is selling this output in a purely competitive market at $10 per
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Economic profit will be $40

So option (d) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given number of units produced = 20 units

Price of per unit = $10 per unit

So revenue = 20×$10 = $200

Revenue :20 units * $10 = 200

Fixed cost is given $100

Variable cost: 20 units ×$3 = 60

So total cost= Fixed cost + Variable cost = 100 + 60 =$160

So economic profit = Revenue - Total cost = 200 - 160 = $40

So option (d) will be correct answer
