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

Consider 2 scenarios: Boom Economy and Normal Economy. The Boom economy has 30% chance of happening, while Normal economy has 70

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A) Expected Return of Stock ABC = Probability of Boom * Return of ABC in boom+Probability of Normal * Return of ABC in norma

ER = 30% * 25% + 70% * 4% = 10.30%

Expected Return of Stock XYZ = Probability of Boom * Return of XYZ in boom+Probability of Normal*Return of XYZ in norma

ER = 30% * 10% + 70% * 6.5% = 7.55%

Variance of Stock ABC = 30% * (25%-10.30%)^2 + 70% * (4%-10.30%)^2 = 0.9261%

Variance of Stock XYZ = 30% * (10%-7.55%)^2 + 70% * (6.5%-7.55%)^2 = 0.02573%

Standard Deviation of ABC =0.9261%^0.5 = 9.62%

Standard Deviation of XYZ =0.02573%^0.5 = 1.60%

B) Coefficient of Variation of ABC=Standard Deviation of ABC/Expected Return of ABC =9.62%/10.30%=0.93

Coefficient of Variation of XYZ=Standard Deviation of XYZ/Expected Return of XYZ =1.60%/7.55%=0.21

Stock with less Coefficient of variation to be chosen as lower Coefficient of variation show lower risk in relation to the return.

Hence stock XYZ is best for investment.

C) Expected Return of Market =30% *12% + 70% * 5% = 7.1%

Variance of Market =30% * (12% - 7.1%)^2 + 70% * (5%-7.1%)^2 = 0.1029%

Covariance of Stock ABC and Market = 30% * (12% - 7.1%) * (25% - 10.30%) + 70%*(5% - 7.1%) * (4% - 10.30% )= 0.0030870

Beta of ABC = Covariance of Stock ABC and Market / Variance of Market

Beta ABC = (0.0030870 / 0.1029%) = 3.00

Covariance of Stock XYZ and Market =30% * ( 12% - 7.1%) * (10% - 7.55%) + 70% * (5% - 7.1%) * (6.50% - 7.55%) = 0.000515

Beta of Stock XYZ = Covariance of Stock XYZ and Market /

Variance of MarkeT

Beta XYZ = (0.000515 / 0.1029%) = 0.5

Answer:

The correct answer is KISS Rule.

Explanation:

The KISS principle states that most systems work better if they remain simple than if they become complex; Therefore, simplicity should be maintained as a key design objective, and any unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

This principle is registered for the first time in the United States Navy in 1960, and is mainly attributed to Kelly Johnson, chief engineer at Lockheed Skunk Works.

According to FOLDOC, the online dictionary of the Imperial College Department of Computing, possibly has its origin in marketing and sales presentations, to be used later in the development of systems, especially to avoid that the successive developments in the designs are complicated.
