Monopolistically competitive firms are unable to produce enough output to reach the average total cost because of the presence of other monopolistically competitive firms in the industry.

Monopolistic competition arises when several businesses provide rival goods or services that are comparable but imperfect replacements.

Entry barriers are low in monopolistic competitive industries, and actions made by one business do not immediately impact those of its rivals. Pricing and marketing choices are how the rival firms set themselves apart.

Businesses engaged in monopolistic rivalry distinguish their goods through price and marketing tactics.

The expenses or other impediments that prohibit new rivals from joining a market are minimal in monopolistic competition.

Between perfect and monopolistic competition, known as monopolistic competition, there is monopolistic competition, which incorporates aspects of both and entails businesses with comparable but distinct product offers.

How can optimism help you as an entrepreneur?

bulgar [2K]

Being an entrepreneur can be very stressful and sometimes seem like you may not reach your goal. Optimism can calm you down to make the decision that is better over time rather than rushing into a bad decision that seems good.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

resources that are valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and non-substitutable

Explanation:

If competitors can copy or match the products and services the firm offers, it will be difficult to develop a sustainable competitive advantage through product excellence. A firm can, however, develop an advantage through product excellence with resources that are valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and non-substitutable

Apart from product excellence, Intangible assets that have no physical presence like Brand reputation, trademarks and intellectual property are all intangible assets unlike physical resources, cannot buy from the market by other competitors. They are developed within a company and constitute the source of sustainable competitive advantage.

In particular, the resources that generate competitive advantage are those that possess the VRIO characteristics,which implies that they are

Valuable, hence there will be no competitive disadvantage

Rare, hence there will be no competitive parity

Imitate, - are costly and difficult to imitate hence they cannot be copied

Organised to Capture Value - which means they are non-substitutable.

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

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

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.052787474

$5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\$

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 100.00

time 60.00

rate 0.052787474

$\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV$

PV 4.57

Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

Ronald, Ross, and Carol opened a partnership firm. Ronald has a capital of $77,000; Ross has a capital of $119,000; and Carol

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A. Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500

Explanation:

The question says to determine amount to be included in the journal entry to record Ronald's withdrawal from the partnership

Assumption: Equal Profit- loss sharing is the agreement between the existing partners.

First premise: Ronald's Capital in the Partnership = $77,000

However, Ronald received a payment of $86,000 meaning that there is an excess of $86,000-$77,000= $9,000

Since the agreement is equal profit and loss sharing, it means each of Ross and Carol will contribute 1/2 of the $9,000.

The journal entry to record this transaction is as follows:

Particulars Debit Credit

Carol Capital Account $4,500

Ross Capital Account $4,500

Ronald Capital Account $9,000

Being the equal contribution of excess amount paid to Ronald on exit from the partnership by Carol and Ross.

Based on the multiple choices, the correct answer is Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500
