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).

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

-$5,500

Explanation:

The computation of the overall effect on the company net operating income is as follows:

New Variable cost per unit is

= $44 + $11

= $55

Now the new contribution margin per unit is

= $220 - $55

= $165

New unit Monthly sales is

= 7,000 units + 500 units

= 7,500

Now

New total contribution margin :

= 7,500 units × $165

= $1,237,500

And, the Current total contribution margin is

= 7,000 units × $176

= $1,232,000

So, the change would be

= $1,232,000 - $1,237,500

= -$5,500

The loan amount (principal) is $50,000 and the annual interest paid is $5,500. What is the annual interest rate
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The interest rate is 11%

Explanation:

The loan amount = $50000

Interest amount = $5500

Let the interest rate = x

Principal × interest rate = Interest amount

$50000 × r = $5500

r  = $5500 / $50000

r = 0.11 or 11%

The interest rate is 11%
