If all firms only earn a normal profit in the long run, firms will develop new products or lower-cost production methods because they can innovate and possibly earn an economic profit in the short run.
Explanation:
Competition involves constant efforts by companies and executives to do more than the loss (normal gains) of new goods or by improving ways to manufacture current products at lower prices. Therefore, if businesses can invent, they will achieve short-term economic advantage.
Economic benefit encourages entry, economic losses lead to exit and firms in a highly profitable market earn little economic income in a long-term equilibrium. In an industry where inflation does not change the costs of materials (a market with a constant cost), the long-term supply curve is a horizontal line.
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour
The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.
<u>To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 7,802/1,660= $4.7
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.1 - 4.7)*1,660
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
Answer:
Price
The price in the short-run will decrease because with less marginal costs, producers would produce more goods and services which would shift the supply curve to the right. The new intersection with the demand curve will be at a lower price.
Quantity
As said above, producers would produce more goods and services which means that the quantity supplied will increase.
Profit
This is a competitive market. Each firm will earn zero profits because the drop in price will match the drop in marginal costs to ensure that firms are not making anything extra.

Not necessarily. Sure, there are some things where it is very clear what is right and wrong but there are so many situations where it is hard to differentiate between what is right and what isn't.
