Answer:

C. increase in the short-run but fall to zero in the long-run

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive industry is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.

There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms. Firms are price takers. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.

As a result of increase in demand, more quantities of the vitamins would be bought and producers profit would increase in the short run. Because, there are no barriers to entry or exit of firms, new firms would enter into the industry in the long run, driving economic profits to zero.

Due to no barriers to entry or exit of firms, in the long run, firms in a perfect competition earn zero economic profit.

I hope my answer helps you

Assume France and Italy decide to specialize and trade according to their comparative advantages, and 20 bushels of grapes are e
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: Yes, it's beneficial

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the ability of a nation to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost when compared to its trading partners. A comparative advantage allows a firm sell its product at a lower price and make more sales.

In comparative advantage, the nation might not necessarily be the best at producing a particular good but it has a low opportunity cost in the production of the good for other nations to import. Comparative advantage leads to specialisation and enhances economic growth.

For example, if France can produce cheap grapes and Italy can produce cheap tomatoes, France should stop producing tomatoes and Italy should stop producing grapes. France should focus on the production of grapes while Italy should focus on tomato production. This will lead to more income for both economies since there is productive efficiency.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Both of them

Explanation:

The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.

Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.

As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.

Which one of the following is a way to improve the S/Q rating of branded pairs produced at a particular production facility? Avo
Tomtit [17]

Answer: Avoiding use of green/environmentally-friendly materials (which are of lower quality than superior materials)

Explanation:

The International Footwear Federation is a consumer group that issues s/q ratings for footware makers around the world.

The S/Q ratings range from 0 - 10 stars and measure everything between the quality and appearance of the footware apparel.

Footware with high quality materials that are durable rank high in the S/Q matrix and as such it is imperative that companies aiming to move higher up the S/Q scale, use high quality materials.

Avoiding the use of green/environmentally-friendly materials (which are of lower quality than superior materials) and instead using Superior materials, whilst not entirely good for the Environment, will make a shoe stronger which would increase the S/Q rating.

Henderson Co. has fixed costs of $36,000 and a contribution margin ratio of 24%. If expected sales are $200,000, what is the mar
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

the margin of safety is the percent of sales which the company is above the break even point.

We solve for the break even point:

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

\frac{36,000}{0.24} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

BEP  = 150,000

We solve for the margin of safety:

$ 200,000 - $ 150,000 = $ 50,000

Now we compare against our sales:

$ 50,000 / $ 200,000 = 0.25
