Answer: True, False

Explanation:

Perfectly competitive market is governed by the following characteristics,

a. Identical/homogeneous goods

b. Large number of buyers and sellers

c. Free entry and exit

d. Perfect information

Therefore, the above statement is <em>true</em> that in a perfectly competitive market, all producers sell identical goods or services. Additionally, there are many buyers and sellers. Because of these two characteristics, both buyers and sellers in perfectly competitive markets are <em>price takers</em>.

The market for digital cable does exhibit the two primary characteristics that define perfectly competitive markets. Firms in a digital cable market have to sell the same product (like the channels they offer), they need to set the same price. Thus, the statement is <em>false</em>.

<u>Because of these two characteristics (availability of buyer & seller and buying and selling of goods), both buyer and sellers in perfectly competitive market are price \fbox{takers}.</u>

<u>The market for digital cable does not exhibit the two primary characteristics that define perfectly competitive. The statement is true. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

Perfect Competition: The perfectly competitive markets are those markets where there are many sellers and buyers selling identical goods and services. There are barriers to entry and exit. The firm cannot influence the price. The firms are price takers.The characteristics of the perfect competition are:

• Many buyers and sellers

• No barriers to exit and entry

• Homogenous products

• Firms are a price taker

<u>Therefore, the perfectly competitive market is one in which all the producers sell the same product or services. There are many sellers and buyers; so no one can influence the price, and all the firms are price takers. </u>

The market for digital cable does not exhibit the two primary characteristics that define perfectly competitive because there are few sellers and many buyers. The pricing of the services offered is also different.

Why is inflation both good and bad how does the government try to control it?
Kaylis [27]
<span>Inflation is good because it keeps the economy growing as wages increase and demand for goods goes up, but if inflation gets high then the economy can become overheated when prices go up too fast and people can't afford goods. The Federal Reserve Bank, if you're in the USA, will then raise interest rates to make loans more expensive and rewarding people for not spending money, which slows down the economy back to a healthy state.</span>

Fed [463]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When consolidating parent and a wholly-owned subsidiary we aim to eliminate entries related to the inter company services. Since the subsidiary had recorded a debit to service expense when it was rendered, the adjusting entry would be a credit to the service expense amount by the same figure charged i.e. $600,000 in this case
