Answer:

C. Products of individual firms are different.

Explanation:

The monopolistic competition market has many competing sellers and manufacturers (businesses). In this type of market, firms compete by producing substitute (differentiated) goods that can replace each other, while not competing homogeneous goods. The production of differentiated goods gives this market both a competitive and monopolistic feature, but prices cannot be determined by a small number of companies due to the large number of sellers in the market. The important thing in the monopolistic competition market is that the goods are interesting, preferred and indispensable.

Monopolistic competition features:

1) There are many sellers.

2) Differentiated products, products are not exactly the same as in the competitive market.

3) Firms are not determining the price.

4) Each firm has a decreasing demand curve.

5) Companies can enter and leave the market without restrictions. This traffic continues until the profit of the companies becomes worthless.

Perfect competition market; In a market, it is the market where no seller has the power to influence the price of the product he sells. There are very strict conditions for a market to be in perfect competition, and therefore it is difficult to find a full competition market in the real world. In full competition, P = MR = D and parallel to the quantity axis

By saying the Conditions of Perfect Competition Market-perfect competition market is based on four assumptions:

1) There are many buyers and sellers in the market.

2) Homogeneity Condition: Each firm produces and sells the same and homogeneous type product.

3) Mobility Condition: Firms can easily enter and exit the market.

4) Clarity Condition: Buyers and sellers have all the information about the market.

Suppose that you invest $100 today in a risk-free investment and let the 6 percent annual interest rate compound. What will be t

Kipish [7]

Solution :

It is given that :

Amount of investment or the principle amount , P = $ 100

Time of investment , t = 6 years

Rate of interest compounded annually r = 6 %

Therefore the future amount of this investment in a 6 year time is given by,

$$FV=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t$

$$FV=100(1+\frac{6}{100})^6$

$$FV=100(1+0.06)^6$

$FV= 100 (1.4185)$

$FV=141$

Therefore, after 6 years the investment of $ 100 will give an amount of $ 141.

($40,000/5 years)

a2. Computation of the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.

First step is to calculate the First year Book value

First year Book value=$40,000/5 years

First year Book value=$8,000

Second step is to calculate the Second year Book value

Second year Book value=($40,000+$40,000)/5 years

Second year Book value=$80,000/5 years

Second year Book value=$16,000

Now let compute the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.

Book value at the end of the second year=$8,000+$16,000

Book value at the end of the second year=$24,000

Therefore the Book value at the end of the second year will be $24,000
