What is the condition for profit maximization for a pure competitive firm?

1 answer:

4 0

I believe this needs to come from a non monetary source. Pure competition allows for no price change between firms. So profit maximization needs to come from market share. I believe the answer would have to be in service levels or ease of business improvements. If you are forced to have the same price levels the levers to pull are few but the exist only customer service, ease of transacting, other value add initiatives. Just my thoughts

Zero coupon bond is the bond which does not offer any interest payment. It is issued on deep discount price and Traded in the market on discounted price.

YTM = 5.9%

Value of zero coupon bond = Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^n

pshichka [43]

Answer: they will report an interest expense of $150000 in December 2020

Explanation:

firstly we calculate how much interest will be accumulated for the whole year so we are given a $5 million Dollar purchase which is the amount that will accumulate interest over time, then we have been told the company ha issued a 1 year installment note therefore we have a time frame.

so now we will calculate the yearly interest of $5 million :

$5 000000x12% = $600000 so the company will accumulate this interest yearly then we divide this amount by 12 to get the monthly interest.

$600000/12 = $ 50000 per month interest thereafter we will multiply the monthly interest of $50000 by 3 months which is months from October to December.

therefore the interest expense to be reported on the December 2020 income statement is $50000 x 3= $150000
