Compare and contrast the potential for a perfectly competitive firm and a monopolistically competitive firm to earn positive eco

Kazeer [188]

Explanation:

There are no deficits or surpluses in terms of output, no obstacles to the entry or exit of businesses on the market, and the number of customers is so high that it is only the economic demand that decides the value of the products in the market. Thus, the reality is that the market is completely open. All producers earn normal profit and both manufacturers and consumers accept the commodity price.

In comparison, a monopoly market competition can be defined as a business environment where one entity or group of companies dominates the supply market and thus controls output factors. In this case, the monopolist decides the price of the goods on the market, as the competition is always strong. Free entry or departure from companies is not allowed in a monopolistic competitive market.

The short-term and long-term production or profitability are the same in the case of a fully competitive market. Since the production factors are often under control and fully meet the demand and supply of the market. In the shorter term and that in the long run, a perfect competition business will see stable and strong economic growth. In the case of a business or corporation which is fully competitive, there is no distinction between the competitors ' profit margins and all companies have the same rate of profit.

Since air pollution creates a negative externality,

Inessa [10]

A.

If you recall, negative externalities arise when there is a divergence between marginal private cost and marginal social cost, the difference being the marginal external cost as shown from the poorly drawn diagram. If we got rid of the marginal external cost by producing less, then the externality would dissipate.

However, the question is weird as there are no options for compensation. What would rather happen is that whoever has the property rights will be compensated the size of the MEC and there would be social welfare, whereas the question only tackles removing the externality through stopping production.

Southwest 2020 = $975 / $21,775 = 4.48%

Southwest 2021 = $1,125 / $25,775 = 4.36%

Midwest 2019 = $1,025 / $6,475 = 15.83%

Midwest 2020 = $1,375 / $6,775 = 20.3%

Midwest 2021 = $1,325 / $6,975 = 19%

Southeast 2019 = $775 / $12,175 = 6.37%

Southeast 2020 = $975 / $12,775 = 7.63%

Southeast 2021 = $1,375 / $13,075 = 10.52%

asset turnover = net sales / average total assets

Southwest 2019 = $14,675 / $13,775 = 1.07

Southwest 2020 = $21,775 / $13,975 = 1.56

Southwest 2021 = $25,775 / $16,575 = 1.56

Midwest 2019 = $6,475 / $4,475 = 1.45

Midwest 2020 = $6,775 / $3,975 = 1.7

Midwest 2021 = $6,975 / $3,975 = 1.75

Southeast 2019 = $12,175 / $5,075 = 2.4

Southeast 2020 = $12,775 / $5,375 = 2.38

Southeast 2021 = $13,075 / $5,375 = 2.43

return on investment = net income / cost of investment

Southwest 2019 = $875 / $13,775 = 6.35%

Southwest 2020 = $975 / $13,975 = 6.98%

Southwest 2021 = $1,125 / $16,575 = 6.79%

Midwest 2019 = $1,025 / $4,475 = 22.9%

Midwest 2020 = $1,375 / $3,975 = 34.59%

Midwest 2021 = $1,325 / $3,975 = 33.33%

Southeast 2019 = $775 / $5,075 = 15.27%

Southeast 2020 = $975 / $5,375 = 18.14%

Southeast 2021 = $1,375 / $5,375 = 25.58%
