Answer: reduce output.

Explanation:

In a competitive market, firms do not have control over the price that they sell their goods in the market but they do have control over their costs. It is recommended to produce/ sell goods at a quantity where Marginal Revenue will equal Marginal cost (MR = MC).

In a Competitive Market, Price is the same as Marginal revenue which means that Marginal revenue here is $25 and the Marginal Cost is $26. At this quantity of output, the Marginal Cost is larger than the Marginal revenue.

Company should therefore reduce output to a quantity where Marginal Cost will equal Marginal revenue.

Last year Rocco Corporation's sales were $225 million. If sales grow at 6% per year, how large (in millions) will they be 5 year
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

b. $301.10

Explanation:

Current Sales = P = $225,000,000

Growth rate = g = 6%

Number of year = 5 years

Using simple growth formula we will find the Sales value after 5 years.

Future Sales = Current Sale ( 1 + growth rate )^Number of years

A = P ( 1 + g )^n

A = 225,000,000 x ( 1 + 0.06 )^5

A = 225,000,000 x 1.33823

A = 301,101,750 = 301.10175 Million

So, the correct option is b. $301.10.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Specialization means a company or country concentrating on producing few commodities. In practice, a state or company will focus on the products it can produce more efficiently. It means focusing on goods they can manufacture at a lower cost compared to other countries.  

The USA can specialize in the goods and services it can produce at a lower cost than other nations. It can then export these products to other countries at competitive prices. For products that are costly to manufacture in the USA, it is prudent to import them from countries that can produce them at lower costs.  

Some products manufactured in other countries at a lower cost may be sold in the USA at fair prices than when produced in the USA.
