Answer; c. $14,000
Explanation
On December 1, rent had been paid for 3 months. At a rate of $7,000 a month this will come to;
= 7,000 * 3
= $21,000
The Prepaid rent account will reduce every month by the rent due for that month. The balance on the Prepaid account as at December 31 will therefore have reduced by one month from December 1.
= 21,000 - 7,000
= $14,000
Potential competition exists
The assumption in perfect competition that there is an easy entry and exit from the market implies that firms will make a zero economic profit in the long run.
<h3>Why do firms make a zero economic profit?</h3>
In a pure competition, companies are allowed to freely enter and leave.
They take advantage of this to enter a market when prices are high and economic profit is being made.
As more firms enter, the economic profit keeps decreasing as prices decrease until this profit gets to zero and then turns to economic losses.
At this point, some firms will leave the market to stop making losses. When they do, the supply will decrease which leads to prices rising once more.
The cycle will then repeat itself and keep the companies at a zero economic profit in the long run.

Answer:
Simple rate of return = 17.7%
Explanation:
Simple rate of return = incremental operating income ÷ initial investment
Depreciation = $468,000 ÷ 6years = $78,000
incremental operating income = $161,000-$78,000 =$83,000
Simple rate of return = $83,000÷$468,000=17.7%
