Answer: reduce output.
Explanation:
In a competitive market, firms do not have control over the price that they sell their goods in the market but they do have control over their costs. It is recommended to produce/ sell goods at a quantity where Marginal Revenue will equal Marginal cost (MR = MC).
In a Competitive Market, Price is the same as Marginal revenue which means that Marginal revenue here is $25 and the Marginal Cost is $26. At this quantity of output, the Marginal Cost is larger than the Marginal revenue.
Company should therefore reduce output to a quantity where Marginal Cost will equal Marginal revenue.
Answer:
Explanation:
Sunk, or past, costs are monies already spent or money that is already contracted to be spent. A decision on whether or not a new endeavor is started will have no effect on this cash flow, so sunk costs cannot be relevant.
For example, money that has been spent on market research for a new product or planning a new factory is already spent and isn’t coming back to the company, irrespective of whether the product is approved for manufacture or the factory is built.
Committed costs are costs that would be incurred in the future but they cannot be avoided because the company has already committed to them through another decision which has been made.
Brand repositioning is when a company changes their status in the marketplace. Like changes to the marketing mix including product, price, location, and promotion. Repositioning happens to fulfill consumer wants and needs

Answer:
a. Briefly discuss what is meant by audit risk, inherent risk and control risk.
Audit risk is the risk that the auditor expresses an inappropriate audit opinion when the financial statements are materially misstated.
Audit Risk = Inherent Risk x Control Risk x Detection Risk
Auditors will want their overall audit risk to be at an acceptable level. Inappropriate opinion will result in damages / costs
Inherent risk is the susceptibility of an assertion to a misstatement that could be material individually or when aggregated with other misstatements, assuming there were no related internal controls.
Control risk is the risk that a material misstatement, that could occur in an assertion and that could be material will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis by the entity's internal control.
b. What level of detection risk is implicit in this problem?
Detection risk is the risk that the procedures performed by the auditor to reduce audit risk to an acceptably low level will not detect a misstatement
In this case the detection risk given is 0.41.
Answer:
Social clock
Explanation:
The social clock refers to expectations set by society on preferred timings of accomplishing life milestones such as finishing school, getting married, having children etc. For example, because many students graduate from college by the age of 22, Manuel will feel pressured because he will complete college past the average completion age in society. This situation illustrates the social clock.
