Answer:
The firm’s cash flow (CF) due to financing activities in the second year is - $450 million
Explanation:
As we know that,
Net increase in cash = Operating activity - investing activity - financing activity
where,
Net increase in cash = Ending balance of second year - ending balance of first year
= $280 million - $200 million
= $80 million
The other items values would remain the same
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
$80 million = $1,170 million - $640 million + financing activity
$80 million = $530 + financing activity
So, financing activity = $80 million - $530 million
= - $450 million
Answer:
The correct answer is option B.
Explanation:
In a competitive industry there is no restriction on entry or exit of firms in the market. So, when in the short run the firms are enjoying super normal profits or positive economic profits, this would attract potential firms to join the industry in the long run.
As a result the industry supply will increase in the long run. The increase in supply would cause the price to fall. This would further contribute in reducing revenue and profit.
This process will continue till the profit is reduced to zero. If profit falls below zero, then firms incurring loss will exit the industry. Then again zero profits will be restored by reduction in supply and increase in price.
So, we can say that perfectly competitive firms will have zero economic profits or only normal profits in the long run.
