Answer: cease production immediately, because it is incurring a loss

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive industry is an industry whereby firms make similar products, and there are many firms and customers.

Since from the scenario, the market price is less than its average variable cost, it is advisable for the firm to stop producing. This is because the firm isn't covering its variable cost, therefore it's running at a loss.

Answer:

c. cease production immediately, because it is incurring a loss.

Explanation:

When a business engages in production it looks to make profit. That is for the production price to be higher than cost incurred in producing the good.

However when the price is lower than the average variable cost as is indicated in the scenario then the firm needs to shut down production in the short term.

Factors that will adversely affect a firm in the short term are price, average total cost, and average variable cost.

Once price is less than average total cost or average variable cost it is better to stop production.

As they are incurring an economic loss

nirvana33 [79]

Answer

$31,000

Explanation:

(c) $31,000

Explanation:

As per IRS for Earnings of Clergy, A licensed, commissioned, or ordained minister who performs ministerial services as an employee may be able to exclude from gross income the fair rental value of a home provided as part of compensation (a parsonage) or a housing allowance provided as compensation if it is used to rent or otherwise provide a home. In order to be able to exclude the housing allowance from income, the minister's employing organization must officially designate the housing allowance as such before paying it to the minister.The fair rental value of a parsonage or the housing allowance is excludable only for income tax purposes, and not for Self-employment tax purpose.

In the given case, the church did not designate any of Luke's salaries as a housing allowance. Hence it is not deductible from Gross Income for Income Tax Purposes and irrespective of designation or not, it is not deductible for self-employment tax.

Thus, Full salary of Luke i.e $31,000 must be included when figuring net income for self-employment tax.
