Answer:

Price will fall , demand curve shift downward , some firms exit

Explanation:

This is a case of perfectly competitive firms - who have same products, same prices, no supernormal profits or abnormal losses.

From a long run equilibrium of normal profits, if there is decrease in industry demand : The firms' identical demand would also decrease, downward sloping demand curve would shift leftwards / downwards. Decreased demand would reduce the over all price in the industry. So, firms will start incurring losses. Hence, many firms will exit the industry. Firms exit would decrease market supply.

Decreased supply would increase market price. Profit would increase at higher price & short run loss (due to demand decrease) would disappear, industry would resume again long run normal profit equilibrium.

Offer. Ball writes to Sullivan and inquires how much Sullivan is asking for a specific forty-acre tract of land Sullivan owns. B
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Ball can certainly hold Sullivan to a contract for sale of the land.  Sullivan in his reply to Ball's enquiry offered to sell the forty-acre tract of land at $60,000 and nothing less.  Ball accepted this offer by Sullivan by stating his acceptance.

These exchanges of offer and acceptance meet the terms of a valid contract.  Therefore, Ball can always hold Sullivan for contract enforcement.

Explanation:

In making a valid contract, offer and acceptance are key ingredients, with specific consideration.  Since the two parties, Ball and Sullivan are agreed on the consideration and have exchanged offer and acceptance, the validity of the contract is enhanced thereupon.

Nataliya [291]
The expected return will be given by:
E(R)=Total sum of the expected return
E(R)=-0.1*0.3+0.1*0.4+0.3*0.3
E(R)=-0.03+0.04+0.09
E(R)=0.1=10%

We therefore conclude that the expected return is 10%
