Answer:

No, you wouldn't raise the price, not even by a cent.

Explanation:

The <em>equilibrium price</em> in a perfectly competitive market means that, when goods are sold at that price, there is no excess or shortage of the goods. The demand and the supply are equal.

If you were to rise your price above the equilibrium price, then the consumers will prefer to buy their goods from the rest of the firms that are selling at the equilibrium price. Your supply wouldn't sell. You would eventually be forced to accept selling your goods at the equilibrium price.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$146,105.22.

Explanation:

First, find the monthly interest rate from an effective rate of 6%

Rate = (1.06) ^ (1/12) - 1 = 0.00486755

Present value = 1692 [1 - (1.00486755) ^ - (180-100)] / 0.00486755 = 111,894.78  

At closing = 258,000 - 111,894.78 = $146,105.22
