The four important characteristics that define a perfectly competitive market are: Multiple Choice standardized good, full infor
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

standardized good, full information, no transactions costs, participants are price takers.

Explanation:

Perfectly competitive markets are theoretical, because even commodities' markets (e.g. corn, oil, etc.) do not comply 100% with all the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market, but are close enough to consider them as such.

The 5 characteristics of perfectly competitive markets are:

  1. Many participants (many buyers and sellers)
  2. Standardized goods or services
  3. Zero transaction costs
  4. No barriers to entry
  5. All participants can access perfect information

As I said before, no market complies 100% with these requirements, but some commodities' markets get close enough, but even there:

  • commodity traders charge a transaction fee
  • capital is a great barrier to entry that cannot be eliminated, e.g. it costs millions to drill and sell oil
  • not all participants will be able to access perfect information

Assume that the real rate of interest is 5 percent and a lender charges a nominal interest rate of 15 percent. If a borrower exp
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and inflation. The lender charged nominal interest rate of 15% expecting inflation to be 10% in the following year. However, inflation was 12%. So, nominal rate becomes 17% (12% + 5%).

The lender should have charged a nominal interest rate of 17% instead of 15%. Now, he has to bear the loss of 2%. Borrower on the other hand benefited as he is paying lower interest rate than what is prevailing in the market.

The journal entry to record the prior year’s deferred Inflows: property taxes (those expected to be collected more than 60 days
ratelena [41]

Answer:

b. A debit to Deferred Inflows: Property Taxes; and a credit to Revenues Control.

Explanation:

In accrual accounting revenues and expenses are not recognised till they are earned or incurred.

Deferred revenue is the income for goods that have not been delivered yet. For example if a business made sales of books worth $500 but have not delivered the goods to the buyer, the income realised is credited to deferred income. When the books have been delivered the income can now be recognised and moved to revenue account.

So in the scenario given the property taxes have not been collected yet and Soni's recorded as Deferred inflow from the previous year. When the taxes are collected we debit Deferred Inflow- Property taxes and credit Revenue Control.
