A firm in a purely competitive industry is currently producing 1,200 units per day at a total cost of $700. If the firm produced

1,000 units per day, its total cost would be $450, and if it produced 700 units per day, its total cost would be $425.
Instructions: In parts a and c, round your answers to 2 decimal places. In part d, round your answer to 1 decimal place.

a. What are the firm's ATC at these three levels of production?

At 1,200 units per day, ATC = $.

Answer:(a) $0.58, $0.45, $0.60 (b ) No the industry is not in long run competitive equilibrium (c) The highest possible price is $0.60 (d) The firm did not earn a profit in terms of accounting profit but loss of ($5)

Explanation:

To calculate the ATC

ATC = TC/ Quantity

At 1,200 unit per day

= 700/1,200

= $0.58

At 1,000 unit per day

= 450/1,000

= $0.45

At 700 unit per day

= 425/700

= $0.60

(b) No the industry is not in the long run competitive equilibrium because the cost is not stable it moves from $700 to $450 and then to $$425

(c) The highest possible price that could exist is $0.60

(d) since profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost

Total Revenue = price × Quantity, since the ATC is $0.60 and Total Cost = $425,Quantity = 700

$0.60 × 700 = 420

Therefore $420 - $425 = -$5

Therefore, in Accounting there is no profit but loss of ($5)

A seller listed a home for $200,000 and agreed to pay a commission rate of 5%. The MLS stated that the commission would be share
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The selling sales associate received $2,700

Explanation:

The final number was 180 thousand dollars. Then the MLS chared 5% of the total sale. Thus, 9 thousand dollars is the commission. Now, the commission was divided again and the sales associate received 50% of the listing office's commission. So those 9000 are divided in 2 and we get 4500 which then are divided and the selling sales associate receives the 60% of that amount or 2700 dollars.

Explain why a relative price is an opportunity cost. The money price of a pound of bananas is $0. 90 and the money price of a tu
dimaraw [331]

The opportunity cost is stated in relative pricing, that is, the price of one option in comparison to another.

When there are numerous vendors in a market but no one is significant enough to control the price of a product. Because both items must be produced, the relative price must match the opportunity cost. If the opportunity cost of one good is lower in the home country than so will be the relative price.

As bananas cost $0.90 per kg, so, if  a toothpaste is  for $2.25, we are forgoing 2.25 kgs banana (2.25/0.9). Thus, the opportunity cost is 2.5 kg bananas which is equal to the relative price of bananas.

Therefore, relative price is an opportunity cost.

Tech distractions do not include answer your phone while driving changing the radio station while driving fiddling with air-cond
Inessa [10]
<h2>The given statement is false. </h2>

Explanation:

If the driver has set the phone to "do not disturb" then definitely the notification that he gets through various apps will be kept silent, calls will reach voice mail and we will be notified with missed calls and our screen will be blank when the call is received. But this do not disturb mode does not control the air-conditioning of the car or blocking the driver from changing the radio station.

It is found from a survey that the road accidents are more when the mobile usage of the driver is more. Many drivers though they know about the consequences, they still use mobile phones while driving.
