Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": perfectly elastic.

Explanation:

Perfect Competition is a theoretical market system where competition is at its highest level as possible. Perfectly competitive markets are characterized by:

  • <em>All companies offer an equivalent product.</em>
  • <em>All companies are price takers.</em>
  • <em>All companies have a fairly small market share.</em>
  • <em>Buyers have full quality and pricing knowledge.</em>
  • <em>The company has low barriers or no barriers to entering and leaving an industry .</em>

<em>Plotted in a graph, perfectly competitive goods have a horizontal curve. This is because at any given price any quantity can be demanded. Thus, the curve of perfectly competitive firms is </em><u><em>perfectly elastic</em></u><em>.</em>

Using variable​ costing, what is the contribution margin for last​ year?

<em>Contribution Margin = $362,900</em>

Explanation:

Computation of expenditure margin by differential costing;

<em>Sales </em><em>Minus </em><em>variable cost </em>

  • Variable cost of Manufacturing(190,000 units *$1.84)

= $349,600

— variable sales and administrative costs(190,000 units *$4.45)

= $845,500

= contribution margin = $362,900

<em>Keep in mind that; </em><em>Set or Fixed expenses and overhead costs are not taken into account when trying to calculate the contribution margin.</em>

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

economic rent of $65,000

Explanation:

Economic rent is the amount of money paid in excess to a factor of production in excess of what is socially optimum

Economic rent = $150,000 - $85,000 = $65,000

Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost

Total revenue =price x quantity sold  

Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials

Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost

Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives

Without the regulation, economic profit would be driven to zero.
