Suppose that initially the price is $50 in a perfectly competitive market. Firms are making zero economic profits. Then the mark
et demand shrinks permanently, some firms leave the industry, and the industry returns to a long-run equilibrium. What will be the new equilibrium price, assuming cost conditions in the industry remain constant? a. $50.
b. $45.
c. Lower than $50 but exact value cannot be known without more information.
d. Larger than $45 but exact value cannot be known without more information.
Since the cost conditions remain the same and the market in question is a perfectly competitive one, when the market returns to a long-run equilibrium, the equilibrium price gravitates towards the previous equilibrium price in which economic profit was zero, which is $50, regardless of some firms leaving the industry or not. Note that this behavior is only observed because this is a perfectly competitive market.
The standalone selling price is the price at which the company would sell warranty separately to its customer. In this case we need to find the stand alone price of the discount option.
We first find the difference between regular price and the discount option:
$25 - $20 = $5
Then we multiply by the possibility of the discount sale happening (60%) and the total number of goods sold with the discount option.
Usually, the landlord is required to notify the tenant if he/she plans to sell the property, but regardless of who owns the property (the original landlord or a new landlord), the contract terms are valid and must be honored by both the current landlord and the tenant.
The new owner immediately became the new landlord and he/she assumed all the responsibilities stated in the lease contract. Since the lease contract stated that the "lessor (landlord) agreed to maintain all structures on the property in good repair", the new landlord must pay for any necessary repairs.
