Answer:

In a perfectly competitive industry the market price is also the marginal revenue of a firm and in order to maximize profit a firm has to produce a output at which marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. In this case the firm's marginal revenue is fixed at 12 so they need to bring their marginal cost down to 12 in order to maximize profits. What they should do is decrease their output to a quantity so that their marginal cost is also 12, when they do this their marginal cost and marginal revenue will be equal and they will be maximizing profits.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

B) We can say that the firm is maximizing profit in the short run

Explanation:

A rational producer is at profit maximising equilibrium where : Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost.

When MR > MC, profit is increasing & it is beneficial for firm to expand output. When MR < MC, it is loss making & it is beneficial for firm to decrease output.

If at 500 units of output : MR = MC, firm is maximising profit in short run.

Verslas is a firm operating in a monopolistically competitive market. It is currently maximizing profit with an output of 1,200
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

If Verslas is producing at a profit maximising point, it means that marginal revenue equal marginal revenue and the firm is earning a normal profit

At December 31, 2020, Sandra’s Boutique had 1850 gift certificates outstanding, which had been sold to customers during 2020 for
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: $129,500

Explanation:

According to the Accrual Basis in Accounting, revenue and expenses should only be recognised when goods have been delivered.

On the December 31, 2020 Sandra's Boutique had 1,850 gift certificates outstanding but these had been sold already to people during the year for $70.

This means that they have been paid for a service that they have not given (they provide the service when the GIFT certificate is renewed).

They cannot therefore recognize the revenue as Revenue yet and have to defer it.

The amount to be Deferred will therefore be,

= 1,850 * $70

= $129,500
