Answer:
The price of trucking services would fall until equilibrium prices are reached. Only normal profit would be earned in the long run
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous 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.

Answer:
Break-even point in total units= 951.7units
Explanation:
<em>Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss</em>.
It is calculated using this formula:
<em>Break-even point (in units) = Fixed cost/ average contribution per unit</em>
<em> Blue Plaid</em>
Contribution per unit 43-30 = 13 52-45 = 7
<em>Average contribution per unit </em>
= ( (13× 4) + (7×5) )/9
= $ 9.66 per unit
<em>Break-even point in total units</em>
= $9200/$ 9.66
= 951.7units
Break-even point in total units= 951.7units
Answer:
Caveat emptor is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Answer:
2.64%
Explanation:
A = P(1 + r)^n
A = $12,000
P = $10,000
n = 7 years
12,000 = 10,000(1 + r)^7
(1 + r)^7 = 12,000/10,000 = 1.2
(1 + r)^7 = 1.2
1 + r = (1.2)^1/7
I + r = 1.0264
r = 1.0264 - 1 = 0.0264
r = 0.0264 × 100 = 2.64%
