Sam's Club can sell identical items at a lower price than Macy's because of Sam's Club's: O government assistance. O lower average fixed costs. O higher variable costs. higher rent costs.
I need help in these questions. Please I have 30 minutes only, Answer the questions correctly and do not make any mistake.
Perfect competition an efficient outcome because O A. achieves; total surplus is maximized O B. achieves; marginal benefit equals marginal cost OC. does not achieve; firms do not get to choose their price O D. does not achieve; firms produce goods with perfect substitutes O E. Both A and B are correct.
A firm will operate so long as the price O A. exceeds average variable cost. OB. equals the opportunity cost. O C. exceeds average fixed cost. O D. exceeds average total cost.
Which describes the firms supply curve for the short run with perfect competition? O The section of MC that is above AVC O The section of MC that is above ATC There is no supply curve since it depends on the slope of demand O The section of ATC to the right of its intersection with MC Which describes the long run equilibrium situation for a firm in perfect competition? O Demand is sloping downward and tangent to ATC Demand is horizontal and tangent to the bottom of ATC O Demand is tangent to AVC O There are positive economic profits to motivate firms to keep producing
What are the three conditions for a market to be perfectly competitive? For a market to be perfectly competitive, there must be O A. many buyers and a small number of firms that compete, selling identical products, and barriers to new firms entering the market. O B. many buyers and one seller, with the firm producing a product that has no close substitutes, and barriers to new firms entering the market. OC. many buyers and a few sellers, with all firms selling identical products, and no barriers to new firms entering the market. O D. many buyers and sellers, with all firms selling identical products, and no barriers to new firms entering the market. O E. many buyers and sellers, with firms selling similar but not identical products, with low barriers new firms entering the market.
