The most likely answer is option D
Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market has a large number of buyers and sellers. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by the market forces. Thus the monopoly firms face a horizontal demand curve. This horizontal line represents price, average revenue, and marginal revenue. The equilibrium is obtained where price, (average revenue and marginal revenue) is equal to marginal cost. There is no restriction on entry and exit of firms in the long run. That's why firms face a break-even in the long run.
While in a monopoly market there is a single firm. This firm fixes price higher than marginal cost. The demand curve of the monopoly is a downward sloping showing relatively elastic demand. A monopoly firm can earn profits in both the short run as well as the long run.
Answer:
11%
Explanation:
Compounding is the method used to determine the future worth of an amount today while discounting is the method used to determine the present value of a future amount.
Both are related by
Fv = Pv(1 + r)^n
where Fv is the future amount
Pv is the present value
r = rate
n = time
As such,
18.5 = 15 (1 + r)^2
1.2333 = (1 + r)^2
1 + r = 1.11
r = 0.11
the annual percent on returns is 11%
Answer: $651,000
Explanation:
From the above question, Apple's iPod carries a two-year warranty against manufacturer's defects.
warranty costs are expected to be approximately 3% of sales.
Total sales are $30.7 million, and actual warranty expenditures are $270,000.
Total warranty cost = $30.7 million x 3% = $921,000
During the 1st year only $270,000 of warranty expenses was made.
Therefore the company will carry as liability at the end of the year a total of $921,000 - $270,000 = $651,000
Answer:
The Producer surplus = 19.6.
consumer surplus = 12.25.
Aggregate supply = 31.85.
Explanation:
Normally, the demand equilibrium function equals to supply equilibrium function will get us the price which is $3 that is Qd = Qs. Hence, if we equate both function together like;
15 - 2P = 5P - 6.
15 +6 = 5P + 2P.
21 = 7P.
P = $3.
Thus, Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(3) = 15 - 6 = 9 units.
Qs = 5P - 6 = 5(3) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9.
Therefore, if the price is going to be Increased by $4, we will have that;
Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(4) = 15 - 8 = 7 units.
=> The Producer surplus = 1/2 × 14 (4 - 1.2) = 19.6.
=> consumer surplus = 1/2 × 7 (7.5 - 4) = 12.25.
Aggregate supply = Producer surplus + consumer surplus = 19.6 + 12.25 = 31.85.
