Answer:
PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line
Explanation:
PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.
Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.
∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained
If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line
Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]
0 20 _
10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)
20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)
So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.
However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.
Answer:
$11,510
Explanation:
Calculation for the gross margin amount from the four transactions
First is to find the Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold = ($13,900 - $3,400) × (100%-2%)
Cost of goods sold=$10,500*0.98
Cost of goods sold=$10,290
Last step is to find the gross margin amount using this formula
Gross margin amount=Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Gross margin amount=$21,800-$10,290
Gross margin amount=$11,510
Therefore the gross margin amount from the four transactions will be $11,510
Answer:
The three scenarios describe a competitive market.
Explanation:
1) In the competitive market buyers and sellers are price takers, this means that there are many producers and consumers and none of them are able to intervene in price and market. Price is given, ie price is determined by interaction in the market. 2) The products are identical. That is, no company will make a profit due to differentiated products. In perfect competition, companies produce identical products, and the consumer is indifferent to the product characteristics of each company. 3) There is free entry and exit of companies and factors of production, ie there is no cost to enter and exit any sector. This means that factors can migrate from one sector to another without incurring costs, meaning there are no barriers to entry and exit from any sector.
Thus, from items 1 and 2, consumers and buyers are price takers, that is, they cannot influence the price determined by the market. Item 3 is about achieving zero profit or normal long-term profit. This is because the free entry and exit of companies avoids extraordinary profits by encouraging companies to migrate to sectors that earn higher profits in the short term. Thus, in perfect competition, compa
Answer:
We have to discount these payments to find the present value
500,000
500,000/1.1
500,000/1.1^2
500,000/1.1^3
We keep on doing this until we reach 500,000/1.1^19
After that we add all the payments and get the value. A less time consuming way of doing it is using a financial calculator
Pv=?
N=19
FV=0
PMT=500,000
=4,182,460.05 we add 500,000 to this because the first payment was not discounted=4,682,460.05= Present Value.
