Answer
Before I answer this question, you must note that the equilibrium price is created by both the amount supplied of a certain product as well as how much "customers" there are (or the amount that is bought in all). This however, is usually not taking account any potential competitors.
For example, let say that the price in creating the product (or buying) is $15. This means that right now, the company loses $15 for one of the products. To make a profit, the selling price must be >$15. However, (unless they are a monopoly, such as, for example, electrical companies) there are competitors that they must fight with to get customers. Of course, there are other things that can affect the price, depending on the demographic and area.
So how does supply and demand affect the equilibrium price? The limits of the supply & the amount of demand would help determine the price by the amount of people buying and the supply of the product.

Answer:
125,200
Explanation:
Adjust inventory to base year prices:
= Cost of ending inventory ÷ cost index for the year
= $136400 ÷ 1.1
= $124,000
Current year LIFO layer:
= Adjust inventory to base year prices - Cost of beginning inventory
= $124,000 - $112,000
= $12,000
Inventory to be shown:
= Add the new LIFO layer at end of period prices to prior year LIFO inventory
= (112,000 × 1) + (12,000 × 1.1)
= 112,000 + 13,200
= 125,200

Answer:
<u>Monopolist competition</u>.
Explanation:
The market structure of monopolistic competition occurs when there are several companies offering similar products, which even though substitute products cannot be considered perfect substitutes. Monopolistic competition is characterized when in the market there are many sellers competing for a higher market position of some product or sector. This type of monopolistic competition is characterized by free entry to other companies, which makes it increasingly competitive in the pursuit of customer preference.
