Answer:

A) making zero economic profit

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive industry is where there are many firms producing homogenous goods and services. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms. Prices are set by market forces. Buyers and sellers are price takers.

In the short run, if firms in a perfectly competitive market are earning economic profits, in the long run, new firms enter into the industry and economic profit falls to zero.

Information for Nighttime Company's direct labor cost for February is as follows: Actual direct labor hours 70,000 Total direct
podryga [215]

Answer:

71,100

Explanation:

The calculation of standard direct labor hours is shown below:-

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours worked

$35,000 = ($497,000 ÷ 70,000 - Standard rate) × 70,000

(7.1 - Standard rate) = $0.5

= $6.6 per hour

= Labor variance efficiency = (70,000 - Standard hour) × $6.6 per hour

= -$7,260 = (70,000 - Standard hour) × $6.6 per hour

Standard hours = $70,000 + 1,100

= 71,100
