Answer:

produce at an economic loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P=MR=MC and P=AC.

Hence, if price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in the short run, a perfectly competitive firm will produce at an economic loss.

Additionally, Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.

<u>Return on Investment</u> is the compensation companies receive for purchasing capital assets.

Capital assets are significant pieces of property like houses, automobiles, rental properties, stocks, bonds, and even antiques or works of art. A capital asset for businesses is an asset with a useful life of more than a year that is not intended for sale during normal company operations.

Your investments in the business are the time and money you devote to strengthening your company. The profit you receive from your investments is the return. The ratio of net profit to the entire cost of the investment is how ROI is often defined.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A disadvantage of feedback is that: Group of answer choices it makes the control process inefficient. most people are too sensit
julsineya [31]

Answer: It always comes after the fact.

Explanation:

Feedback is very important for a company. It helps them know where they need to improve on so that they can offer better services ti customers. It also fosters good relations with customers as they will feel their input is taken into account.

Unfortunately though the whole premise of Feedback is that it's based on information of an event that has already happened and SOMETIMES CANNOT BE CHANGED. This is a very huge drawback but one that is implicit in the process itself.
