g The perfectly competitive firm's supply curve: Group of answer choices coincides with its perfectly elastic demand curve. is t

natulia [17]

Answer:

is the firm's marginal cost curve above the minimum point on the AVC curve.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

An aggregate supply curve gives the relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output supplied in an economy at a specific period of time.

Aggregate supply (AS) refers to the total quantity of output (goods and services) that firms are willing to produce and sell at a given price in an economy at a particular period of time.

Hence, a perfectly competitive firm's supply curve is the firm's marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point on the average variable cost (AVC) curve.

A homebuyer wishes to finance the purchase with a $95,000 mortgage with a 20-year term. What is the maximum interest rate the bu

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.811% per month is the amximum rate it can affor

or 9.732% annual rate with monhly compounding.

Explanation:

We have to solve for the rate at which the monthly payment equals 900 dollars.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 900.00

time 240

rate r

PV $95,000.0000

$900 \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-240} }{r} = 95,000\\$

Given the complexity of the formula we solve using excel or a financial calcualtor

we write on a1 =PV(A2;240;95000)

on a2 we write any number between 0 and 1

then we use goal seek tool adn define that we want A1 to be 95,000 by changing A2 (which is the argument for rate)

the value of A2 after this is our answer:

$900 \times \frac{1-(1+0.00811)^{-240} }{0.00811} = PV\\$

PV $95,000.0000

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The expected return on her portfolio is B) 11.8%

Explanation:

Hi, the expected return of a portfolio can be found by multiplying the weight of each of the assets times each of its expected return, that is:

$E(portfolio)=E(Tbills)*Weight(Tbills)+E(other)*Weight(other)$

So everything should look like this

$E(portfolio)=0.04*0.70+0.3*0.3=0.118$

The expected return of the portfolio is 11.8%, that is option B)

Best of luck.
