Answer:
None of the options is correct.
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive market a company will shut down in the short run if its product's price is less than the variable cost (total revenue is less than total variable costs).
Since all the companies are price takers in a perfectly competitive market, then the company cannot increase their prices, so they will temporarily shut down until the equilibrium price increases above its variable cost.
Answer:
- An increase in the family's car payment means the family will be unable to afford a vacation.
- A newer model offers better protection and functions but is more expensive than an older model.
Explanation:
A trade off is synonymous to opportunity cost. It occurs when one forgoes a best alternative when they chose another. In this case, if this family chooses to buy a new car, you answer the question by looking at the next best thing they are giving up. That could be a vacation; they may not afford it since they would spend the money to buy the car. Additionally, a new car has new parts and is safer than an old car but it costs more; that's also a trade-off.
