A price floor reduces the amount of a product that consumers buy because it keeps the price above the competitive market equilib
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is  D. does not increase the amount of the product that consumers buy because it creates a shortage.

Explanation:

If a market is defined by the following demand and supply functions. The balance or price that reflects the coincidence in valuation of the good of consumers and producers, would occur at the intersection between both functions.

When the State intends to supplant market activity in the allocation of goods and services, it can do so through a policy of maximum and minimum prices.

If it is considered appropriate that a given price is less accessible than what would take place in the market, it will establish a maximum price, above which no company can sell. When this occurs, we can graphically appreciate how at that price the quantity demanded is greater than that offered, thus generating an excess of demand that leads to the shortage of the good. In this context, some mechanism will be developed that allows rationing the offer (long lines, different criteria such as age, economic level, etc.) This being, land paid for the appearance of the “black market”.

Another type of price control is the establishment of a minimum price. This system has been used frequently in agricultural markets, when the State has sought to prevent farmers' income from drastically reducing.

When a minimum price is established higher than what would take place in the market, the quantity offered exceeds the defendant, thus producing an excess supply. This excess supply will lead to an accumulation of production that will generate great inefficiency.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Shut down

$1650

$1500

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

in the shut run, a perfect competition should shut down if average variable cost is greater than price. this is the case for this firm $10 is greater than $8.

total fixed cost = average fixed cost x quantity produced = $11 x 150 = $1650

Total variable cost = average variable cost x quantity produced = $10 x 150 = $1500

Why do credit card companies typically require small minimum payment amounts on their customers' monthly credit card statements.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

C) Credit card companies want to increase profits by promoting slower repayment, and actual customer repayments will be anchored by the smaller payment options

Explanation:

It is always a bad idea to only pay the minimum monthly payment on a credit card debt, since the APR charged is much higher than other personal loans. If someone only makes the minimum payment and continues to purchase goods or pay services, their balance will continue to grow.
