Explanation:
Answer:
a. increase price in the short run but not in the long run.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market is one in which firms in an economy produce similar goods, and use resources that are limited in quantity.
An increase in demand will result in a corresponding increase in price, and results in firms making high profits. In the diagram below it results in a shift of demand from D1 to D2.
In the long run as firms have low barrier to entry more firms enter the market and supply shifts from S1 to S2. There is reduction in prices and profits start to fall. This is illustrated in the second diagram.
Phyllis' RATE (percentage) of return is 7 percent
<u>Explanation:</u>
Data provided in the question:
Purchase price for each share = $50
Dividend received = $1 per share
worth of shares at the end of year = $52.50
Thus, total return on the share = dividend received plus worth of sahres at the end of year minus purchase price
= $1 plus $52.50 minus $50 = $3.5
Therfore, rate of return = [ total return on the shares by purchase price ] into 100%
= [$3.5 by $50] inot 100 percent
= 7 percent
hence, the option with 7 percent will be the correct answer.
A and D are the correct answer
Answer:
Explanation:
I will split this answer into two options...
Fiber Optic communications work by sending data through beams of light through a series of fiber cables. This allows for data transfer at incredibly high speeds and with an almost non-existent probability of data loss. Since cables need to be connected from one end-point to another this form of communication becomes more expensive and the capability of reconfiguration becomes incredibly difficult. The likelihood of failure is also very low due to the nature of the technology.
Satellite communication sends data wirelessly by beaming the data to satellites and then back down to the destination. This allows for data to be transferred worldwide but runs into the risk of interference, data loss, signal loss etc. Costs are much cheaper than Fiber Optics due to the lack of wiring. Multipoint capabilities are high since endpoints can be placed anywhere with a clear line of sight to the sky, which also means that reconfiguration capabilities are high as well.
