Answer:

Option A and B is applicable for a market to be perfectly​ competitive, A. firms must be price​ takers, firms must produce a homogeneous​ product, and firms must be able to easily enter and exit the market. B. firms must have market​ power, firms must produce a differentiated​ product, and firms must be able to easily enter and exit the market.  

Explanation:

Perfect competition refers to the situation prevailing in a market in which buyers and sellers are in abundance and well informed that all elements of monopoly are non existent and the market price of a commodity is beyond the control of individual buyers and sellers.

For firm to attain perfect competition, certain conditions must be met. Here is a few to begin with.

  • There are many buyers and sellers in the market.
  • Each company makes a similar product.
  • Buyers and sellers have access to perfect information about price.
  • There are no transaction costs.
  • There are no barriers to entry into or exit from the market.

From the foregoing, option A and B are satisfactory assumptions for perfect competition.

Answer: A

Firms must be price​ takers, firms must produce a homogeneous​ product, and firms must be able to easily enter and exit the market

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is a market in there are many sellers of a single homogeneous goods, many buyers, abundance of information about product, free entry and exit at any point and no transaction cost. None of the (selling) firms is big enough to determine the market price. A perfectly competitive market totally follows the law of demand and supply.

Total revenue for a firm in a perfectly competitive market is the function of product price and quantity (TR = P * Q).

mario62 [17]

Answer: $126,613

Explanation:

Net Present value of Project A is:

= Present value of $50,000 annuity + Present value of residual value - Initial investment

Present value of $50,000 annuity:

= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate

= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 12%) ⁻⁸) / 12%

= $248,382

Present value of residual value:

= 8,000 / ( 1 + 12%)⁸

= $3,231

Net present value

= 248,382 + 3,231 - 125,000

= $126,613

Your car dealer is willing to lease you a new car for $309 a month for 72 months. Payments are due on the first day of each mont
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

PV $19,242.04

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of an annuity using our cost of capital

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C      309

time 72

rate           0.004083333 (A)

309 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0040833)^{-72} }{0.0040833} = PV\\

PV $19,242.04

This will be the present value of the lease at our capital rate.

<em>Notes</em>

(A)The payment are on a monthly basis, so the interest rate must be monthly to. For that we divide the 4.9 percent which is annual by 12

That way the time and rate are on the same metric.
