Answer:
B. Homogenous product
Explanation:
Monopolistic competitive market is a market structure in which there are many sellers selling differentiated product.
Differentiated product are product that vary in taste or style. They are goods that can be substituted.
Monopolistic competitive firms gain some degree of market power by differentiating their products from those of other firms in the industry. Monopolistic competition firms achieve price control by selling a product that is in some way(s) different from close substitutes product.
Features of Monopolistic competitive firms
1. Existence of many sellers
2. Heterogeneous goods are sold
3. Existence of close substitute
4. Absence of barrier to entry of new firms and free exit to existing firms.
5. Existence of competitors.
Answer:
<em>Suppose the economy is initially in equilibrium, when a decrease in</em><em> </em><u><em>Savings </em></u><em>decreases total leakages out of the economy. </em>
Savings are considered leakages in the economy because the represent money that is not spent but rather saved.
<em>Which of the following will occur as a result of this change?</em>
<em>GDP rises above planned spending.</em>
Savings reduces spending but as savings have reduced, there will be more spending which is unplanned and so this increase in unplanned spending will make GDP higher than planned spending.
Injections and leakages are equal to each other <u>when real GDP is equal to aggregate expenditure. </u>
Injections and leakages are equal when the output (GDP) and the Aggregate expenditure are the same.
Answer:
Consider the following calculations
Explanation:
Step 1. Given information.
Asset Cost Adjusted Basis
--------------------------------------------------
Skidder 230,000 40,000
Driller 120,000 60,000
Platform 620,000 0
-------------------------------------------------
Total 970,000 100,000
Step 2. Formulas needed to solve the exercise.
Allocation for each asset = value sold * (adjusted basis / total)
Gain on sale = Sales price - Adjusted basis amount
Step 3. Calculation and Step 4. Solution.
Sales price is allocated on the basis of adjusted value.
- Skidder = 300.000 * 40.000/100.000 = 120.000
- Driller = 300.000*60.000/100.000 = 180.000
- Platform = 300.000*0/100.000 = 0
Gain on sale = Sales price - Adjusted basis amount
= 300.000 - (40.000 + 60.000 + 0)
= 200.000
Answer:
The old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the the analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.
From the attached excel file, the following calculation are made:
Variable Manufacturing cost of Retain = Initial Variable Manufacturing cost * remaining useful life of old machine = $592,600 * 5 = $2,963,000
Variable Manufacturing cost of Replace = New Variable Manufacturing cost * Remaining useful life of new machine = $505,500 * 5 = $2,527,500
From the attached excel, it can be observed that the total cost of Retain is $32,200 higher than the total cost of Replace. This therefore implies that the old machine should be replaced.
