Answer:

Since a perfectly competitive firm must accept the price for its output as determined by the product’s market demand and supply, it cannot choose the price it charges. Rather, the perfectly competitive firm can choose to sell any quantity of output at exactly the same price. This implies that the firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve for its product: buyers are willing to buy any number of units of output from the firm at the market price. When the perfectly competitive firm chooses what quantity to produce, then this quantity—along with the prices prevailing in the market for output and inputs—will determine the firm’s total revenue, total costs, and ultimately, level of profits.

U.S. sugar import quotas have existed for more than 50 years and preserve about half of the U.S. sugar market for domestic produ

docker41 [41]

Answer:

United States continue to have quotas because it increases the price of imported Sugar and thereby reducing the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

To start with, quotas is a restriction imposed by a government. Quotas limits the quantity of a good that can be imported into a country during a specific period of time. In this question, an import license specifies the quantity of Sugar that be brought into (imported) the USA.

United States continue to have these quotas because import quotas reduces the supply of imported goods (Sugar), thereby, preventing an uncontrolled importation of Sugar. This raises the price of imported Sugar against the price of locally produced Sugar which is lower in price. Intuitively, consumers will go for lower price (locally produced Sugar) which satisfies the law of demand for normal goods.

Therefore, it helps the domestic producers to stay in the competition.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

the correct answer is low inflation indicates steady growth

Explanation:

inflation can be explained as the increase in the general price level of a country over a specific period of time. this is an indicator of the rise in the price of the goods and services of a country and indirectly can show the standard of living, economic growth and the purchasing power of an economy.

Generally, the inflation is said to be in an healthier range when it is between 1% and 5%, it is regarded as good when it is below 10% and said to be unhealthy when it is over 10%.

when the inflation is low, the price levels rise systematically and gradually. this allows business and investors to predict the economy more accurately and preserves the purchasing power of the currency and money, which is good for both investments, national and international trade.

moreover, when the inflation is lower, the cost of capital financing remains low as well. and the real interest rates are higher too.
