Answer:

c. No, you would not raise the price

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market form is the one which is characterized by following features:

  1. Large number of buyers and sellers: The number of buyers and sellers is so large that output by an individual seller forms insignificant portion of the industry output, and thus an individual firm cannot exert perceptible influence on the prices or output.
  2. Homogeneous Products: Firms in such a market produce same and exactly similar products in terms of color, size, weight, etc.
  3. Freedom of entry and exit: There exist no entry barriers while loss making firms can leave the industry as well.
  4. Price taker: Price in such a market form is determined by interaction of market forces of demand and supply and each firm accepts such price. Thus firms are price takers.

In the given case, since all seller firms are producing exactly same products, if one raises the price, the buyers will switch to products of other sellers, providing same product at a lower price. Thus, all sales would be lost in such a scenario.

So, one cannot raise price even by a cent in a perfectly competitive market form.

Ginger's working on creating her first Google Search Ad. She wants to create an inviting and relevant ad, so potential customers
pav-90 [236]

has a larger font size

includes a current promotion

is listed after search results

includes at least two different colors

has a relevant headline

Answer:

has a relevant headline

includes a current promotion

Explanation:

A google search ad is a paid advertisement that is created to promote a product or service using the google ads platform and they appear in the search results on Google. To create a relevant ad that will earn user clicks, Ginger should focus on creating an ad that has a relevant headline that is related to the product or service so that it will attract the potential customers that are looking what she is offering. Also, the ad should include a current promotion that will increase potential customer's interest and call them to action.

The other options are not right because having a large font size, being listed after search results  and including at least two different colors  won't get customers interest and lead them to act by clicking on the ad.

Suppose you deposit ​$1 comma 700 cash into your checking account. By how much will the total money supply increase as a result
puteri [66]

Answer:

$17,000

Explanation:

Amount Deposited into checking account = $1,700 cash

Required reserve ratio = 0.10

Money multiplier = 1 ÷ Required reserve ratio

                            = 1 ÷ 0.10

                            = 10

Change in money supply = Amount deposited × Money multiplier

                                          = $1,700 × 10

                                          = $17,000

Therefore, the increase in total money supply would be $17,000.
