Answer:

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Profit is maximised where marginal cost equals marginal revenue.

algol13

Answer:

13.01%

Explanation:

Gross Margin Ratio = $\frac{Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold}{Net Income}$

Gross Margin Ratio = $\frac{676,000 - 236,810}{33,750}$

Gross Margin Ratio = 13.01%

Gross Profit Margin is represented as (Percentage) %. Now, the Gross profit margin is really worth investigating. It not only helps when comparing Gross Profit Margin with competitors but is also helpful in investigating and comparing previous year's Gross Profit Margin. If the Gross Profit Margin fallen there could be number of reasons for this, one might be the cost of goods sold has gone up. On contrary, on the other hand the increase in Gross Profit Margin might be because of increase in selling prices.

If Katie accept to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2075 - $115 (contribution) = $1960

Today's share price for CCN is $16.67

Today's share price for CCN can be determined using the Gordon constant dividend growth model

The Gordon growth model is used to determine the value of the share of a firm using the value of its dividend with the assumption that the firm grows at a constant rate.

The formula of the Gordon constant dividend growth model :

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid = $0.50

r = cost of equity = 12%

g = growth rate = 9%

0.50 / (12% - 9%)

0.50 / 3%

0.50 / 0.03

= $16.67
