The correct answer is D.

Perfect competitive firms are price-takers, operate in markets with many other competitors, manufacture homogenous products with perfect substitutives provided in the same market, and operate in markets with free entry and exit (no barriers). These features generate a perfectly elastic demand function, an hortizontal line for a certain price level, as the firm has to assume the existing price in the market.

Marginal cost and marginal revenue are compared in order to decide which is the optimal amount of production to maximize the firm's profits. This happens in the scenario in which marginal revenue equals marginal costs.

Marginal revenue (MR) is the amount earned for selling an extra unit, which in the perfect competition scenario equals the market price of the product. The marginal cost (MC) is the cost of producing on extra unit of output.

  • When MC>MR, of course producing one more unit is unprofitable and therefore, unoptimal.
  • When MC<MR the extra unit is profitable, then the firm should increase the production until reaching MC=MR, that is the point at which they should not move anymore.

Which institution that went out of use in the Zhou dynasty was reinstated by legalism?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

The Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE) was among the most culturally significant of the early Chinese dynasties and the longest lasting of any in China's history. It is divided into two periods: Western Zhou (1046-771 BCE) and Eastern Zhou (771-256 BCE). It followed the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BCE), whose cultural contributions it developed, and preceded the Qin Dynasty(221-206 BCE, pronounced “chin”) which gave China its name. Among the Shang concepts developed by the Zhou was the Mandate of Heaven – the belief in the monarch and ruling house as divinely appointed – which would inform Chinese politics for centuries afterwards and which the House of Zhou invoked to depose and replace the Shang.

The Western Zhou period saw the rise of decentralized state with a social hierarchy corresponding to European feudalism in which land was owned by a noble, honor-bound to the king who had granted it, and was worked by peasants. Western Zhou fell just before the era known as the Spring and Autumn Period (c. 772-476 BCE), named for the state chronicles of the time (the Spring and Autumn Annals) notable for its advances in music, poetry, and philosophy, especially the development of the Confucian, Taoist, Mohist, and Legalist schools of thought.
