Answer:

price-taking assumption.

free entry assumption.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is one in which different firms compete for consumers of their products. The characteristics of the perfectly competitive market are:

- products are nearly identical

- all the firms are price takers. That is they are not able to determine price independently

- buyer knowledge of information about products is perfect and available to all

- free entry and exit to the market

- resources are perfectly mobile

In the given scenario above two of these rules are not obeyed.

Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world.

So they determine the price ( they are not price takers)

Also since they own nearly all the aluminium reserves there is no free entry for new firms

Harman [31]

Answer:

is the addition to total output due to the addition of the last unit of an input, holding all other inputs constant.

Explanation:

The marginal product of an input is the change in total output as a result of the change in output by 1 unit

For example, the table below is the total product of labour

amount of labour output

1                                 10

2                                20

3                                40

the marginal product of the 3rd worker = (40 - 20) / (3 - 2) = 20

marginal product of the second worker = (20 - 10) / (2 -1 ) = 10

Average output = total output / labour

Art, Inc., has 2,500 shares of 5%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 20,000 shares of $1 par value common stock out
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The amount of dividend received by common stockholders in 2017 = $7500

Explanation:

The preference shares are cumulative which means the 2015 dividend on cumulative preference shares will be paid in the next year when dividend is declatred.

The total dividend on preference shjares is = 2500 * 100 * 0.05 = $12500

In 2016 dividend of 22500 is declared and paid.

Out of this 22500, 12500 relates to prefernece dividend for 2015.

The remaining 10000 relates to 2016 preference dividend. Thus, 2500 of 2016 preference dividned is outstanding and will be paid in 2017.

In 2017 out of 22500, 15000 (12500 + 2500) dividendd is paid to preference share holders.

The amount of dividend received by common stockholders in 2017 = 22500 - 15000 = $7500
