The economic profits are the profits in which the firm could be earned by the market power
As we know that in the perfect competition there is a freedom for entry and exit to the markets and also in this no market power due to which its profits are zero
Therefore it should be possible for the pure monopoly, not the pure competitor
Hence, option b is correct
Which example below best describes a longitudinal design in a descriptive research project? A. A panel that consists of households that provide purchasing information at specified intervals over an extended period. B. Surveys involving 600 mall intercepts in six major cities to determine the likes and dislikes of health food. C. A variety of promotional offers would be displayed in stores, with each group of customers seeing only one offer and the resulting brand sales determined. D. None of the above
Answer:
A. A panel that consists of households that provide purchasing information at specified intervals over an extended period
Explanation:
Longitudinal design in research is a method that involves repeated examination of the same variables over a short or long term to see if there is any changes that occur.
A fixed sample is measured repeatedly to gain information.
A panel that consists of households that provide purchasing information at specified intervals over an extended period, is an example of longitudinal design.
The fixed sample is the panel of households, and they repeatedly provide purchasing information.
So the same sample is measured continuously over a period of time
a chord of a circle of radius 5cm subtains an angle of 70°at the centre.calculate the length of an arc
Answer:
[tex]Length = 6.11\ cm[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]\theta = 70\°[/tex]
[tex]Radius, r = 5cm[/tex]
Required
Determine the length of the subtended arc
Length of an arc is calculated by;
[tex]Length = \frac{\theta}{360} * 2\pi r[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\theta = 70\°[/tex] and [tex]r = 5cm[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{70}{360} * 2\pi *5[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{70* 2\pi *5}{360}[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{700 \pi}{360}[/tex]
Take π as 22/7
[tex]Length = \frac{700}{360} * \frac{22}{7}[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{700 * 22}{360 * 7}[/tex]
[tex]Length = \frac{15400}{2520}[/tex]
[tex]Length = 6.11\ cm[/tex]
Hence, the length of the arc is approximately 6.11 cm
Regulation SHO:________. I. requires every sell order to be marked either ""long sale"" or ""short sale"" II. requires every buy order to be marked either ""long purchase"" or ""short purchase"" III. places limits on ""naked"" short sales of equity securities IV. places limits on ""covered"" short sales of equity securities"
Answer:
I and III.
Explanation:
Regulation SHO is a securities and exchange commission (SEC) rule that is used to regulate "short sale" trading strategies. The main purpose of the "regulation sho" is to prevent unethical and fraudulent behaviors among brokers, investors and traders.
Regulation SHO;
1. Requires every sell order to be marked either "long sale" or "short sale" because it involves the application of a standard uniform rule to all equity securities short sales whether traded over the counter (OTC) or exchange listed.
2. Places limits on "naked" short sales of equity securities such as selling short and not delivering the sales to a short seller on settlement.
Hence, if a sales is short, it is assumed that it can be borrowed and delivered to a short seller by settlement on a specified date.
Additionally, short selling can be defined as an act of borrowing and sales of securities with the expectation that it will decrease in value and then returned to the lender.

Sanchez Inc. reported the following on the company's cash flow statement for 20Y7: Net cash flow from operating activities $500,000 Net cash flow used for investing activities (200,000) Net cash flow used for financing activities 150,000 Thirty percent of the cash flow used for investing activities was used to purchase property, plant, and equipment. What is the free cash flow for 20Y7?
Answer: $440,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the net cash flow from operating activities is $500,000, the net cash flow used for investing activities is (200,000) and that the net cash flow used for financing activities 150,000. We are further told that thirty percent of the cash flow used for investing activities was used to purchase property, plant, and equipment.
The free cash flow for 20Y7 will be:
= $500,000 - ($200,000 × 30%)
= $500,000 - ($200,000 × 0.3)
= $500,000 - $60,000
= $440,000
Assume that divisional income from operations amounts to $215,000 and top management has established 15% as the minimum rate of return on divisional assets totaling $1,000,000. The residual income for the division is
Answer:
$65,000
Explanation:
The computation of the residual income is shown below;
Residual income = Operating income - target income
where,
Operating income is given in the question
And, the target income could be calculated by
= Average invested assets × required rate of return
= $1000,000 × 15%
= $150,000
So, the residual income is
= $215,000 - $150,000
= $65,000
For years, the world had used the country of Votnam as a place to assemble goods because of the country's availability of cheap labor. To shift its manufacturing base from simple assembly to full-fledged manufacture of components and finished goods, Votnam introduced a policy that 35 percent of the value of a product must be produced locally. This is an example of a(n) Group of answer choices
Answer:
Local content requirement.
Explanation:
In this scenario, for years, the world had used the country of Votnam as a place to assemble goods because of the country's availability of cheap labor. To shift its manufacturing base from simple assembly to full-fledged manufacture of components and finished goods, Votnam introduced a policy that 35 percent of the value of a product must be produced locally. This is an example of a local content requirement.
A local content requirement can be defined as a measure or strategic policy put in a place by a government to ensure that there's a balance in the level of production through the use of domestically sourced raw materials. It is focused on promoting sustainable economic development in a particular country through the application of various raw materials acquired locally or within the country.
Generally, local content requirement helps to promote and enhance export rather than importation.

Find the total amount Suzanne has in a college savings account if $5000 was invested and earned 3% compounded quarterly for six years. Write the answer rounded to the nearest cent. (Three Points)
Answer:
[tex]A = 598207\ cents[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]Principal, P = \$5000[/tex]
[tex]Rate, r = 3\%[/tex]
[tex]Time, t = 6\ years[/tex]
[tex]n = Quarterly =4[/tex]
Required
Determine the total amount
This can be calculated by using:
[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Substitute [tex]P = \$5000[/tex] [tex]r = 3\%[/tex] [tex]t = 6\ years[/tex] [tex]n =4[/tex]
So;
[tex]A = 5000 * (1 + \frac{3\%}{4})^{4* 6}[/tex]
Convert percentage to decimal
[tex]A = 5000 * (1 + \frac{0.03}{4})^{4* 6}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * (1 + 0.0075)^{4* 6}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * (1.0075)^{4* 6}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * (1.0075)^{24}[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000 * 1.19641352939[/tex]
[tex]A = 5982.06764695[/tex]
Since 1 dollar is equivalent to cents, then the above in cents is;
[tex]A = 5982.06764695 * 100[/tex]
[tex]A = 598206.764695[/tex]
[tex]A = 598207\ cents[/tex] --- Approximated
If the Central Bank of Macroland puts an additional 1,000 dollars of currency into the economy, the public deposits all currency into the banking system, and banks have a desired reserve/deposit ratio of 0.10, then the banks will eventually make new loans totaling ______ and the money supply will increase by _______.
a. 9,000; 10,000
b. 9,000; 9,000
c. 10,000; 9,000
d. 10,000; 10,000
Answer:
a. 9,000; 10,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The money multiplier is
= 1 ÷ 0.10
= 10
Now If $1,000 are deposited in banks and the expected reserve ratio is 0.10 ration so the lending amount is $900.
And now if we considered the money multiplier, so it would be increased by
= $900 × $10
= $9,000
And, the increase in money supply is
= $9,000 + $1,000
= $10,000
Hence, the correct option is a.
Phillippe invested $1,000 ten years ago and expected to have $1,800 today. He has not added or withdrawn any money from this account since his initial investment. All interest was reinvested in the account. As it turns out, he only has $1,680 in his account today. Which one of the following must be true?a) He earned simple interest rather than compound interest.b) He did not earn any interest on interest as he expected.c) He ignored the Rule of 72 which caused his account to decrease in value.d) He earned a lower interest rate than he expected.e) The future value interest factor turned out to be higher than he expected.
Answer:
d) He earned a lower interest rate than he expected
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Invested amount ten years ago = $1,000
Expected amount = $1,800
Today amount = $1,680
Based on the above information,
Since the bond is based on the floating rate not the fixed rate that results in the value of the investment to $1,800
And, the today amount is $1,680 i.e. less than the expected amount so the internet rate should be less as compared with the expected rate
hence, correct option is d.

Janine is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $5,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65.
Janine estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year).
How much will Janine's IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
Answer:
$108,622.60
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount Janine's IRA will worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires
Based on the information given we were told that She has the amount of $5,000 in an IRA, which is a vital part of her retirement nest egg in which She has well believes that her IRA will increase at an annual rate of 8%.
Secondly we were told that she is 25 age and plan to retire at the age of 65 which means that the number of years until her retirement will be 40 years(65 years-25 years)
Now let calculate how much she will be worth using this formula
Amount worth= Present value in IRA*(Annual rate increase)^ Numbers of years until retirement
Let plug in the formula
Amount worth=5,000 *(1 + 0.08)^40 =
Amount worth=5,000*(1.08)^40
Amount worth =5,000*21.72452
Amount worth= $108,622.60
Therefore Janine's IRA will be worth $108,622.60 when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires.

In one year, Hitech Microdevices will pay a common stock dividend of $4.35. You predict that you will be able to sell your Hitech stock for $57 per share after 1 year. If you require a rate of return of 16 percent on Hitech stock, how much would you be willing to pay now for a share of the stock?
Answer:
Price to be paid now = $52.89
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
The stock would be held for just a period, hence we would use the single period return model. This is given as follows:
Price now = D/(1+r) + P×(1+r)
Dividend , r - rate of return, P -year-end price of stock
Dividend = 4.35, r-16%, P- 57
Price = 4.35/(1.16) + 57/(1.16)= $52.89
Price to be paid now = $52.89
The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for gasoline in the long run has been estimated to be 1.5. If an extended war in the Middle East caused the price of oil (from which gasoline is made) to increase and remain high for a decade, how would that affect total expenditures on gasoline in the long run, all other things equal? (Hint: Consider the change in gasoline prices.)
Answer:
The demand for gasoline is elastic
As a result of the extended war which raises the price of oil, the price of gasoline would rise as a result. the rise in price would lead to a greater change in the quantity demanded. In the long run, consumers would have enough time to search for suitable substitutes so total expenditures on gasoline would fall more in the long run
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Jack and Jill are the only two residents in a neighborhood, and they would like to hire a security guard. The value of a security guard is $50 per month to Jack and $90 per month to Jill. Irrespective of who pays the guard, the guard will protect the entire neighborhood and charge $120 per month for the service.Suppose Jack earns $4,000 per month and Jill earns $8,000 per month. a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, how much would Jack and Jill pay, and would it be enough to pay for the security guard?
Answer:
Yes their combined contribution of $120 is sufficient to pay the security guard
Explanation:
This is a form of non-rival service that does not get reduced by consumption by one of the parties. The security guard protects the entire neighbourhood.
Also it is a non-excludable service. If one party does not pay he will still enjoy the service.
Based on their income information and the fact that they are taxed 1%
Jack will pay 0.01 * 4,000 = $40
Jill will pay 0.01 * 8,000 = $80
The total sum is 40 + 80 = $120
As the security guard requires $120 to do the job, their contribution is sufficient.
However the value to Jack is $50 and he pays $40 so he has an excess value of $10
Jill gets a value of $90 but pays $80, so she gets an excess value of $10

A. always ask for more resources during difficult times. B. ask for a different team to work with. C. offer creative solutions to problems during team discussions. D. post derogatory messages about the company on social media.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The correct option would be to be offering creative solutions to problems during team discussions.
Offering creative solutions to problems will raise the general performance of the marketing team which will eventually rub off on the career of Lewis himself. The higher the performance of the marketing team, the more growth the career of Lewis would experience.
Asking for more resources or different teams to work with might not solve any problem and worse still, might not be sustainable. Posting derogatory messages about the company on social media is definitely a good way to go down career-wise.
