Answer:

The three scenarios describe a competitive market.

Explanation:

1) In the competitive market buyers and sellers are price takers, this means that there are many producers and consumers and none of them are able to intervene in price and market. Price is given, ie price is determined by interaction in the market. 2) The products are identical. That is, no company will make a profit due to differentiated products.

This means that factors can migrate from one sector to another without incurring costs, meaning there are no barriers to entry and exit from any sector.

Thus, from items 1 and 2, consumers and buyers are price takers, that is, they cannot influence the price determined by the market. Item 3 is about achieving zero profit or normal long-term profit.

The law states that, any contract enter into with a minor is null and void according to law.because, as at the time of entering into the contract such a minor is not capable of entering into the contract. Therefore, Riley will not be able to enforce the contract because he is a minor.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

600 units

Explanation:

The equation to calculate target profit is:

S = sales price
Q = Quantity of units
V = Variable expenses
F = Fixed expenses
T = Target profit

$134Q = $67Q + $32,300 + $7,900

$134Q - $67Q = $40,200
