Answer:

Given that the market for fertilizer is perfectly competitive. Since the firms in the market are making economic losses the price of the fertilizer must be less than the average total cost.

Thus, the correct answer is:

  • The price of fertilizer must be less than average total cost)

Given graph shows the cost curves faced by a typical firm, demand for fertilizer and possible price and supply curve.

If the firms in the market are producing output but are making economic losses then point PS illustrates the situation for a typical firm in the market, and S2 indicates the corresponding supply curve.

This is because at point P2 the price is greater than the average variable cost, less than the average total cost and equal to marginal cost.

Assuming that there is no change in demand or firm's cost curves the following will happen in the long run:

Thus the correct answer is:

  • The price of fertilizer will increase.  
  • Average total cost will decrease.

noname [10]

Answer:

The forecast inflation rate is implied by these interest rates is 1.13%

Explanation:

when dealing with inflation, we have that:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) * (1 + inflation rate)

                                         = 1.13%

Therefore, The forecast inflation rate is implied by these interest rates is 1.13%

raketka [301]

Answer:

Production = 31000 Units

Explanation:

To calculate the production requirement for the month of August to meet the required sales and desired ending inventory, we will use the following formula,

Sales = Opening Inventory + Production - Closing Inventory

Plugging in the values we have for sales, opening inventory and closing inventory, we calculate the production to be,

30000 = 11500 + Production - 12500

30000 + 12500 - 11500 = Production

Production = 31000 Units
