Answer:

a. oligopoly.

b. an economic profit.

c. economic profits will fall.

Explanation:

An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.

Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.

The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;

I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.

II. Market control by many small firms.

III. Difficult entry to new firms.

Hence, a firm operating in the United States of America with only two other competitors in the industry is likely to be an industry that would be characterized as oligopoly.

Additionally, business firms operating in this industry (oligopolistic market) will likely earn an economic profit. Also, if foreign business firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall because the industry is now being competitive and controlled by other business firms.

Assume that the reserve ratio is 20% and banks in the system are loaning out all their excess reserve. If people collectively ca
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C. decreased by $40 billion

Explanation:

For computing the lending ability, first we have to determine the money multiplier which is shown below:

We know that

Money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve ratio

                            = 1 ÷ 20%

                            = 5

So, the total cash would be

= $10 billion × $5

= $50 million

Now the lending ability would be

=$50 billion × (1 - 20%)

= $50 billion × 0.80

= $40 billion

On January 1, 2017, MM Co. borrows $350,000 cash from a bank and in return signs an 4% installment note for five annual payments
frez [133]

Answer:

a. Journal entry to record the issue of notes

Date           Account Title & Explanation   Debit $        Credit $

Jan 1          Cash                                           350,000

                 Notes Payable                                                350,000

                  (To record the issue of notes payable)

b. Calculation of Interest Expenses

                      Particulars                           Amount $

Beginning balance of loan payment         350,000

Annual interest rate                                          4%

Interest expenses                                         14,000

Hence the interest expenses = $14,000

Principal amount is calculated as the difference between the annual payment and the interest expenses as seen below

                   Particulars                           Amount $

Annual payment                                      96,590

Less: Interest expenses                          14,000

Principal Payment                                  82,590

Hence, the principal payment =$82,590
