What’s the question u need help with?
Answer: The answers are given below
Explanation:
a. What is its percentage rate of return?
From the question, we are told that the firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders. The percentage of return will now be:
= $5.50/$50 × 100%
= 0.11 × 100%
= 11%
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? If so, how large?
The economic profit will be the difference that exists between the percentage of return which is 11% and the normal rate of profit which is 5%. This will be:
= 11% - 5%
= 6%
The firm is earning economic profit of 6%.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit?
There will be entry into the industry. This is because the percentage of return which is 11% is greater than the normal rate of profit which is 5%.
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?
The rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium will be 5% which is the normal rate of profit in the economy.
The answer is C) 5 years
Most companies start as small start-ups with little in funding. In the early years of a business, the founders would be most involved in only 2 things, either selling or manufacturing/development.
The early years of a business is linked to survival and growth. It is natural for the founders to not be able to focus on operational excellence.
However, as the company starts to make a profit, the founders are able to work on developing new processes to streamline everything and make it more manageable.
It can take up to 5 years before a company can reach organizational excellence.
