<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.

Answer:
0.1333
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price = $5
Variable cost = $3
Annual sales = $20,000
Total sales = $60,000
Contribution margin:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= $5 - $3
= $2
Number of units sold:
= Annual sales ÷ Selling price
= $20,000 ÷ $5
= 4,000 units
Total contribution sales:
= Number of units sold × Contribution margin per unit
= 4,000 units × $2
= $8,000
Weighted contribution:
= Total contribution sales ÷ Total sales
= $8,000 ÷ $60,000
= 0.1333
Answer:
Premium, value
Explanation:
Premium Pricing Strategy: this a strategy used by companies to drive up the prices for their products. This strategy is used when customers can be convinced that a company will offer a higher value than its competitors.
For example, looking at the prices of a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Toyota, one costs $450,000 and the other costs $25,000, both will take you from your office to your house, but some customers will prefer to buy the Rolls Royce, this is because of the value the Rolls Royce offers.
Value: this is the worth or usefulness of something. Therefore, if a company can offer value for money, customers will be willing to pay.
