Answer: Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.
In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.
There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.
This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.
At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is given below:
a)
Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours
= ($22.50 - $23) × 8,450 hours
= -$4,225.00 Favorable
Direct labor time variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard rate
= (8,450 hours - 8,400 hours) × $23
= $ 1,150.00 Unfavorable
Total direct labor cost variance is
= Direct labor rate variance + Direct labor time variance
= $4,225 Favorable + $1,150 Unfavorable
= -$3,075.00 Favorable
b. In the case when the employees are not much experienced or they are poorly trained so the less experience cause to less performance due to which the actual time needed should be more than the standard one
Answer:
Current account balance. = -$600
Explanation:
Given:
GNP = $10,000
Consumption (C) = $8,200
Investment (I) = $1,200
Government Purchases (G) = $1,200
Find:
Current account balance.
Computation:
GNP = Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Purchases (G) + Current account balance.
$10,000 = $8,200 + $1,200 + $1,200 + Current account balance.
Current account balance. = $10,000 - $10,600
Current account balance. = -$600
