<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
(a). Firm in perfect competition produces at minimum efficient scale, MEC where average cost AC is minimum. The price is determined by the market supply and demand.
(b) Note that q1 is at the minimum of AC while Q* is to the left of q1. Similarly, P1 is equal to MC while P* is higher than MC. This shows that firms in perfect competition produce more and charge less than the firms in monopolistically competitive market.
(c) All firms in monopolistically competitive market as well as perfectly competitive market earn zero economic profit in the long run. This is because there is a free entry and exit
(d) Demand is steeper for firms in monopolistically competitive market so that demand is elastic. Demand is horizontal for any quantity which means it is perfectly elastic for a firm in competitive market.

<span>Assuming no other transaction happened during the year, the long term investments in the balance sheet will increase. The answer is letter A.This is because Joan already purchased 10,000 shares of Smith Metals Inc. for $34,000 in exchange for cash and at the same time, she holds 3.2% of the voting stock of Smith Metals Inc. Also, Joan's company, Steel Inc. wanted o hold the stocks for two years.</span>
Company B will more than likely offer 33,000 because they are willing to go above 5000 dollars in negotiations. The other company is only willing to negotiate up to 1000.
