Answer:

<h2>The answer in this case would be option C. or Inferior.</h2>

Explanation:

  • A perfectly competitive market structure is characterized by numerous buyers/consumers and sellers/producers pertaining to the market for any particular good or service.The product or service sold in the perfectly competitive market is customarily similar or homogeneous.
  • There are no legal and administrative barriers to entry or exit for any individual firm or company in the perfectly competitive market structure eventually leading to higher level of market competition or rivalry.
  • High level or market competition or rivalry hinders the market power or price making ability of the firms or companies indicating that no single or individual firm or company in the market cannot determine the market price for the concerned good or service in the market and hence,they do not have any control over the market price.
  • In contrast,in relatively non-competitive markets such as monopolistic competition,characterized by differentiated or heterogeneous products or services generally experience relatively low market competition or rivalry providing respective firms or companies with relatively higher market power or control over the market price of the concerned product or service.Hence,in non-competitive markets with differentiated or heterogeneous products or services,the individual firms or companies can somehow determine the market price for the concerned product or service according to their profit maximizing intentions or behavior.
  • Therefore,overall profitability of the firms or companies in non-competitive firms is relatively higher compared to competitive firms or companies mainly due to product or service differentiation and difference in market competition or rivalry and price making ability or level of market power.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) Contribution margin= $6,4

b) break-even point:

in units=76562 cds

in dollars=$869058

c) Net profit= $5910000

d) Q=107813 cds

Explanation:

Variable costs:

CD package and disc $1.25/CD

Songwriters’ royalties $0.35/CD

Recording artists’ royalties $1.00/CD

<u>Total Variable costs= $2,6</u>

Fixed Costs:

Advertising and promotion $275,000

Studio Recordings$215,000

Total fixed costs= $490000

Price=$9

a) contribution margin= Price- variable costs= 9-2,6= $6,4

b) break-even point:

in units=fixed costs/contribution margin=490000/6,4= 76562 cds

in dollars= fixed costs/(contribution to sale ratio)

in dollars= fixed costs/(contribution margin/price)

in dollars= 490000/(6,4/9)= $869058

c) q=1000000

sales= 9000000           (1000000*9)

variable costs= -2600000      (1000000*2,6)

fixed costs= -490000

Net profit= $5910000

d)Profit= 200000  q=?

using the break-even formula

Q=(fixed cost+profit)/contribution margin

Q=690000/6.4=107813 cds

Stealth Fitness Center issues 7%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $200,000. The market interest rate for bonds of similar ri
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

market price of bonds = $219,597.35

Explanation:

Since the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds will be sold at a premium.

PV of face value = $200,000 / (1 + 3%)³⁰ = $82,397.35

PV of coupon payments = $7,000 x 19.600 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 30 periods) = $137,200

market price of bonds = $219,597.35

Delicious77 [7]

The scope of practice regulations for <u>Nurse Practitioners (NP)</u> should be reconsidered.

Across the states, there is substantial variation in the scope of practice permitted to NP’s. Some states allow NP’s to provide care independently without the need for physician collaboration or supervision, while other states do not allow NP’s to do so. Thus there is a great need to align the regulations set for NP’s.

pychu [463]

Answer:

The demands of an entrepreneur and a professional athlete are more comparative than one may expect.

An entrepreneur must work unusual hours, stay with their objectives, deal with themselves, arrange and keep up great associations with sellers and clients, and advance their organisation.
