If monopolistic competitors must expect a process of entry and exit like perfectly competitive firms, they will be unable to earn higher-than-normal profits in the long run.
<h3>What is a monopolistic competition?</h3>
A monopolistic competition is an industry characterised by many sellers of differentiated goods and services. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. A monopolistic competition sets the price for its goods and services. A monopolistic competition makes economic profit in the long run. An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A perfect competition is an industry characterized by many buyers and sellers of identical goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit due to no barriers to the entry and exit of firms.
Here are the options:
A. they will be unable to earn higher-than-normal profits in the short run. O B. they will wish to cooperate to make decisions about what price to charge.

Answer:
Unamortized discount is $43,700
Explanation:
Unamortized bond discount=original bond discount-amortization to date
original bond discount is $46,000
Amortization =interest payable-interest expense
interest payable=$400,000*10%*6/12
=$20,000
Interest expense=$354,000*10%*6/12
=$17,700
amortization of discount=$20,000-$17,700
=$2300
unamorized bond discount=$46000-$2300
=$43,700
The unamorized bond discount at the end of the first six months is $43,700

Explanation:
Answer:
The answer is: A) 0.6
Explanation:
First we will calculate the midpoint for units:
- change in units = 40 - 60 = -20
- average units = (40 + 60) / 2 = 50
- midpoint for units = 20 / 50 = 0.4 (we only use positive numbers)
Now we will calculate the midpoint for price:
- change in price = 40 - 20 = 20
- average price = (40 + 20) / 2 = 30
- midpoint for units = 20 / 30 = 0.67
Finally we divide 0.4 / 0.67 = 0.6
Answer:
(i) 900 CDs
(ii) Greater than; $1,650
Explanation:
(1) Break-event point will be when the contribution margin from total sales is equal to fixed costs,
Contribution Margin = Selling price - variable cost
= $(21.5 - 9.5)
= $12
Contribution Margin *Number of CDs sold = $10,800
Break-even point for Studio A = 10,800 ÷ 12
= 900 CDs
(2) Studio A would be more profitable when the extra profit earned from per unit sale of CD exceeds the extra fixed cost given in Studio A.
Extra Contribution margin in Studio A = $(12-10)
= $2
Extra Fixed cost in Studio A = $(10,800 - 7,500)
= $3,300
Studio A should be chosen if sales is greater than (3300/2) = $1,650.
