Answer: Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.
In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.
There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.
This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.
At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.
Answer:
<em>We can invite at most 80 people without going over our budget.</em>
Explanation:
The available budget is $ 2,100.
As a fixed amount we must pay $ 95 for the cleaning service. After making this payment we would be available $ 2,100 - $ 95 = $ 2,005 to cover the food and drink expenses of the guests. Since for each guest they charge us $ 25, we can invite a maximum of 80 guests ($ 2,005 / $ 25 = 80.2). Considering that we will invite 80 people, the total cost of the event will be $ 95 + 80. $ 25 = $ 2,095, that is, we will finally have $ 5 left over.

Answer:
C. the Phillips curve is vertical
Explanation:
Philips Curve shows the inverse relationship between inflation rate & unemployment level. High inflation rate implies low unemployment rate; and low inflation rate implies high inflation rates. Economic growth (output rise) leads to inflation & reduces unemployment ; Economic slowdown (output fall) leads to deflation & increases unemployment.
However; In long run, real GDP (output level) returns to its potential level. So; output level defining the inverse relationship (trade off) between inflation rate & unemployment level, is stable. Hence, inflation rate & unemployment level have no inverse (trade off) relationship & they are unrelated. Therefore, the long run Phillips curve is vertical.
Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that time interest earned ratio = Income before interest and taxes / interest expense.
Sales = 546000
less: cost of goods sold = (<u>244410</u>)
Gross profit 301590
Less: <u>expenses</u>
Depreciation expense =( <u>61900 </u>)
Profit before interest and taxes 239690
Less: tax
(239690 * 23%) = (<u>55128</u>)
Profit 184562
Profit - Retained earning Addition = Interest
184562 - 74300 = 110262.
Interest earned ratio = 239690 / 110262 = 2.17 times
