3241004551 [841]

Answer: Option 'b' is correct.

Explanation:

The lowest point on a purely competitive firm's short run supply curve corresponds to the minimum point on its MC curve.

As we know the relation between ATC, AVC, AFC, MC.

1) when AC > MC then, MC rises,

2) When AC = MC, then AC reaches its minimum point.

3) When AC < MC , then MC falls.

And MC falls at higher rate than AC,

So, MC reaches its minimum point first and it is the lowest point for perfect competition.

Hence, Option 'b' is correct.

rewona [7]

Answer:

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500.

We need to find the net present value. The maximum initial investment will be the amount that makes the NPV cero.

NPV=∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

<u>For example:</u>

Year 1= 500/1.05= 476.19

Year 3= 500/1.05^3= 431.92

Year 5= 1,000/1.05^5= 783.53

NPV= 6,360.111

The maximum investment is $6,360.111
