Answer:
false
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
While the market for lettuce sells identical items, there are many buyers and sellers
Answer:
True
Explanation:
the country with the lower opportunity cost in producing a good is more efficient in production and should specialise in production of that good. While the country with the higher opportunity cost is inefficient in the production of the good and should import from the country with the lower opportunity cost.
Let's illustrate with an example
Scenario A
Country X's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 12 units of B
Country Y's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 2 units of B
Country Y is more efficient and should specialise in the production of good A
Scenario B
Country X's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 12 units of B
Country Y's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 12 units of B
Both countries have the same opportunity cost, so, we can't decide which country should specialise
Answer:
Ending inventory = 300 units
Explanation:
The formula for calculating ending inventory is given as follows:
Ending inventory = (Beginning inventory + units started into process) - (completed units)
Ending inventory = (1,600 + 10,000) - (11,300)
Ending inventory = 11,600 - 11,300
Ending inventory = 300 units

<span>Mike will earn $2,400,000 for the year. Social security withholds 6.2% which equals $148,800, though Social security has a maximum base amount of $118,500. So the total amount withheld for Social Security will be $118,500. Medicare withholds 1.45% which equals $34,800. So the total amount withheld for Medicare will be $34,800. The total withheld from both Social Security and Medicare would be $153,300.</span>
Correct Question
You are given the following probability distribution of returns for stock IN A probability of 0.2 that the return will be 12 a probability of 0.35 that the return will be 18 a probability of 0.3 that the return will be 10 and a probability of 0.15 that the return will be 10 What is the expected return of this stock
Answer:
expected return of this stock = 13.2%
Explanation:
<em>The expected rate of return is the weighted average of all the possible returns associated with an investment decision. The returns are weighted using the probability associated with their outcomes.</em>
Expected return = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn
W- weight of the outcome, R - return of the outcome
=(0.2× 12%) + (0.35× 18%) + (0.30×10%) + (0.15 × 10%)
= 13.2%
