A firm in a perfectly competitive industry in​ long-run equilibrium will earn normal returns and zero economic profit.
mina [271]

Answer:

This statement is true.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, there are a large number of firms in the market. There is no barriers to entry to exit in the market. The firms are producing homogenous products.

The firms in this market will earn positive profits in the short run as in short run, the firms can't enter the market.

In the long run, though the firms will be attracted to the positive profits earned by the existing firms to enter the market.

This will cause the supply in the market to increase, this increase in the supply will shift the supply curve to the left. This leftward shift in the supply curve will reduce the price of the product.

The market share and profits of the individual firms will decline. This will continue till the profits are reduced to zero.

for a company making advanced technology, with highly specialized components, a customer divisional structure would be more effe
rusak2 [61]

The modular structure would be more effective for a company making technology with specialized components (false option)

Business modular structure is a term that refers to a type of structure in which a company is subdivided into specialized small units in some particular aspect of the production process.

This type of structuring is the best option for a company that makes specialized technological objects because each subdivision of the company can focus on different processes with greater specificity.

On the other hand, this structure allows the company to constantly improve itself because a major restructuring is not required when a failure is detected but can be quickly amended in the subdivision that presents problems.

Additionally, customer divisional structure is not the best option for this company because it is not necessary to segment the target audience since its products are highly specialized and are already aimed at a specific market segment.
