Answer:
Explanation: Both the marginal cost curve and the average variable cost curve are U-shaped. For many firms, this is true because their production exhibits increasing returns at low levels of output and decreasing returns at high levels of output. At the minimum of average cost, the marginal cost curve intersects the average cost curve. This is because when marginal cost is above average cost, average cost is decreasing and when marginal cost is below average cost, average cost is decreasing.

Answer:
Interest expense 18,284.17 debit
Premium on BP 1,965.83 debit
Cash 20,250 credit
Explanation:
procceds 461,795
face value 450,000
premium on bonds payable 11,795
As the cash received exceed the face value then, the bonds were isued at premium.
This will be amortized over the bonds life
3-year bonds with semiannual payment: 6 payment in total
amortization per payment:
11,795 / 6 = 1.965,83
The will post:
the cash disbursement in favor of the bondholder:

Answer:
keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.
A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run
Answer:
A: $127.2
B: $123.384, $3.816 per share and $3,816 per contract
C: 9.43%
Explanation:
A: Futures price
F° = S° (1 + rₙ) = $120 x 1.06
= $127.20
B: Change in Future Price and Investor Margin account:
New Spot = $120 (1 – 0.03)
= $120 x 0.97
= $116.40
New Futures = $116.40 (1.06)
= $123.384
The long investor loses = $127.20 - $123.384
= $3.816 per share
or $3.816 (1,000) = $3,816 per contract
C: Percentage return on the investor’s position:
Percentage return = $12,000 / $127,200
= 9.43%
