Answer:

1

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.  

In a perfect monopoly, there is only one firm operating in the industry

In a  monopolistic competition, differentiated products are sold

In an oligopoly, there are few large firms

If the total assets of a business are $107,000 and its liabilities are $75,000, which of the following statements is correct?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

a. liabilities are $32,000

Explanation:

Note: In question part $75,000 shall represent equity, as there are only 3 parts of balance sheet assets, equity and liabilities, if assets are given liabilities is what we need to calculate the missing is equity.

Thus, $75,000 is treated as equity.

In that case we have,

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

$107,000 = $75,000 + Liabilities

Assets - Equity = Liabilities

$107,000 - $75,000 = Liabilities

$32,000 = Liabilities

Therefore, correct option is

a. liabilities are $32,000

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

Trout farming is a perfectly competitive industry and all trout farms have the same cost curves.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units

(ii)  The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down

(iii)  The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)

Explanation:

(i)According to given data,  When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.

(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.

(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is competitive intelligence.

Explanation:

Competitive intelligence is the systematic collection of open information, which once combined and analyzed provides a better understanding of the structure, culture, behavior, capabilities, and weaknesses of a competitor's firm.  

It is a very important activity because it helps companies to better understand how the business works. This way you can learn to be better than your competitors.

Companies use competitive intelligence to compare themselves with others, allowing them to make informed decisions. Most firms today realize the importance of knowing what their competitors are doing, and the information collected allows organizations to find out about their strengths and weaknesses.
