Answer:

<h2>Because firms in a perfectly competitive market does not have any price making ability or market power,they are not able to engage in any price discrimination.Hence,the correct answer is  the last option or True,because perfectly competitive firms have no market power.</h2>

Explanation:

In Microeconomics,perfectly competitive markets are characterized by many buyers and sellers in which the sellers and firms usually sell homogeneous or identical products.Now,as there are many firms in the market and no barriers to entry for new firms into the market,the market competition or rivalry is high and hence,no single firm has the ability to determine and manipulate the market price according to their own economic advantage because if any firm tries to do so,it will loose significant market share as most customers would move to other sellers/firms charging lower price or regular market price.Therefore,the market price is fixed in the perfectly competitive market as the firms do not have price making or market power.Consequently,they are not able to charge different prices to different customers according to their maximum willingness to pay or differences in price preferences.

SSSSS [86.1K]
You don't communicate to convey activities, or to integrate activities. We can, therefore, eliminate answers "a," "b," and "e." 

So is our purpose to discuss or organize an activity? Either answer fits. We discuss activities to gather the opinions of others regarding said activities. But discussing is, itself, a form of communicating, it is not an outcome. The other points listed are outcomes "we provide... influence... [through communication]." Therefore, the answer must be "c. organize".

Diminishing marginal product suggests that the marginal A. cost of an extra worker is unchanged. B. cost of an extra worker is l
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": product of an extra worker is less than the previous worker's marginal product.

Explanation:

The Law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity indicates that increasing one variable while holding others the same can initially increase output but eventually adding more of that variable results in lower return rates. This law helps explain that it is not always the best way to increase income by increasing production.

<em>Initially, companies recruiting additional workers would boost production until too few machines or not enough space is sufficient to accommodate everyone. Then, the production rate will decrease.</em>

ki77a [65]

Answer: variable input; fixed input

Explanation:

Based on the information given, in the short run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are the fixed inputs.

Fixed inputs are the inputs that can't be easily changed that's increased or reduced in the short run while variable inputs can be increased or reduced easily.

Since Rina cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run, they're fixed input. The workers are variable input.

At the beginning of the tax year, Barnaby's basis in the BBB Partnership was $118,800, including his $11,880 share of partnershi
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: $144,936

Explanation:

First start by removing the initial debt from the initial basis so as not to inflate the basis.

= 118,800 - 11,880

= $106,920

That is the Initial basis void of debt.

Then add anything that will increase the basis and remove anything that will reduce the basis. Income and debt generally increase the basis while dividends or cash Distributions reduce them.

The Ending basis is therefore,

= Pre debt Initial basis + Partnership Income + ending debt + Nontaxable income - Cash Distribution

= 106,920 + 47,520 + 17,820 + 2,376 - 29,700

= $144,936

Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year is $144,936.
