Answer:

They are all price takers. 

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.

Market price is set by the forces of demand and supply. Therefore, firms are price takers. Because all firms sell identical goods, no seller can set the price for her goods. If a seller attempts to sell above the market price, it would lose patronage. A seller would have no incentive to sell below market price because they would be earning losses.

Perfect competition produces at : price = marginal cost = marginal revenue.

I hope my answer helps you

<u>Calculation of Return on Equity:</u>


Return on Equity can be calculated using the following formula:


Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity


We can calculate net income using the following formula:

Net Income = Sales * Profit Margin = 3650*5% = $182.50


And we can calculate Equity using the following formula:

Equity = Total Assets * (1-Total Debt ratio) = 3350*(1-41%) = $1976.50


Now Finally,

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity = 182.50 / 1976.50 = 9.23%



Hence the return on equity is <u>9.23%</u>

How can social media endanger the safety of military service members and journalists?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

"GPS technology may accidentally leak confidential information about the location."

Explanation:

A good case in point was a watch tracking service that leaked classified GPS coordinates of our military servicemen and women's location. It jeopardized our ability to effectively operate in a foreign land without notice of occupied territory.

In this question, it places our military and journalists at risk because they know where they are at and so forth.
