Ksju [112]

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

A perfect or pure competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

spayn [35]

Answer:

$3,860 will be needed to put into a tax-deferred retirement account every year if you plan on retiring in 40 years

Explanation:

Use Following formula to calculate the monthly payment required.

FV = P x [ ( ( 1 + r )^n ) - 1 ) / r ]

FV = Future Value = $1,000,000

R = RATE OF RETURN = 8%

N = NUMBER OF YEARS = 40 YEARS

P = Monthly Payment

$1,000,000 = P x [ ( ( 1 + 0.08 )^40 ) - 1 ) / 0.08 ]

$1,000,000 = P x [ ( ( 1.08 )^40 ) - 1 ) / 0.08 ]

$1,000,000 = P x 259.06

P = $1,000,000 / 259.06

P = $3,860.16
