Answer:
No, because silence under these circumstances will not constitute acceptance.
Answer:
The correct answer is: enter the market; exit the market.
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive market, there is no restriction on entry and exit of firms. So profits will attract other potential firms to join the market. And when the existing firm incurs losses it will cause them to stop operating and exit the market.
Because of this, the firms in competitive settings are motivated to produce at a low cost and they come up with new ideas to please customers so that they earn a profit.
To find the fixed cost, we need add all costs that do not change with the number of haircuts. These are the salaries of the barbers and the manager bonus, the advertisement fees, rent and the magazines. We also have the standard part of the utility payment, the 170$. Those add up to:
6*1310+520+280+980+20+170=9830$. We also have regarding the variable costs:
The utilities variable part are included since they depend on haircuts, barber supplies and the base rate of each barber per haircut. Hence those are:
(5.90+0.38+0.27 per haircut)=6.55$ per haircut
