Answer:
<em>When firms exit a market, the short-run market supply curve shifts left, causing individual firms’ profits to increase.</em>
Explanation:
The process of <em>free entry and exit of firms</em> is in a sequence as explained under-
- If there is higher demand in the market of the product as compared to its supply, then each firm in the market will receive higher price for its product.
- This will increase the prices of the product, enabling higher profits for each firm. This will make the industry attractive, enabling the introduction of newer firms in the market.
- When the new firms enter the industry, the prices of the product in the market will drop due to higher competition, now present currently. This will lead to lowering of profits for the firms in the industry.
- This will make the industry non-attractive and thereby the less competitive and less effective firms will exit the market in the short run.
- This exit of firms from the industry, will lead to higher prices again due to less supply of product in the market as compared to its demand. Hence, the profits of the firms present in the industry will increase.
Thus, it can be concluded that <em>when firms exit a market, the short-run market supply curve shifts left, causing individual firms’ profits to increase.</em>
<span>Through specialization, both producers and consumers benefit. On the producer side, specialization allows producers to best use their resources in the most efficient manner possible by playing to their strengths, thus maximizing profit. On the consumer side, the fact that producers are specialized and thus efficient in their production ensures lower production costs than if products were made by less-specialized producers, translating into lower consumer-facing prices.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is: black market for apartments whereby higher rents are obtained through various other charges.
Explanation:
A price ceiling refers to an upper limit fixed for the price of a product or service. A rent ceiling means that rent cannot be charged higher than this limit.
This rent ceiling would create higher demand and a smaller supply of apartments. This is because of law of demand and law of supply.
Because of shortage of apartments in the market, a black market will be created where the apartment owners will be able to charge higher rents through other charges.

Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
