Answer:
Each firm sets it price equal to its average total cost.
Explanation:
In economic theory, perfect competition is a market with a large number of sellers and buyers, producing similar products and having a small market share that does not affect prices. Let's explain the characteristics of the perfect competition :
1) manufacturers of identical products. . .
Products in the perfect competitive market are completely substitute. In other words, products and services offered by vendors do not differ from one another in terms of quality or character.. . .
2) the firm has a small market share that will not affect prices. . .
No vendor in this market has the ability to influence prices by increasing or decreasing production. Also, no buyer can reduce the supply of goods and lead to lower prices
3)Market where there are many buyers and sellers. . .
The above feature is directly related to this. Thus, if there is a seller or buyer in the market (such as monopoly or monopsony), it can easily affect the market price. However, in perfect competition, every seller and buyer must act based on market prices.
4)There is no obstacle to entering and leaving the market. . .
That is, access to the market is extremely easy and at the same time neither the state nor the old market participants have a barrier for the new participant.
5)Perfect information. . .
Every market participant knows the prices, quality and production methods.
6) Zero transaction costs...
Buyers and sellers do not bear any transaction costs (contract costs, etc.) during the purchase of goods and services. . .
7) Maximizing profits. . .
In a highly competitive market, the main purpose of firms is to maximize their profits, without any serious obstacles. In a fully competitive market, maximum profits are earned when marginal costs are equal to marginal revenue.
As you see there is information above about the easy entry and exit, the identical products and maximizing profits but nothing about the equal prices to average costs.
Class Cashier that directs a cashier how to cash goods and give change to customers based on cashier operations is given below.
Explanation:
Use the following class, TestCashier, as the basis for the test class.
class TestCashier
{
public static void main(String[] arg)
{
Cashier c = new Cashier();
String name = GetData.getWord(“Enter name of item”);
double price = GetData.getDouble(“Enter price of item”);
c.add(name, price);
name = GetData.getWord(“Enter name of item”);
price = GetData.getDouble(“Enter price of item”);
c.add(name, price);
// Add a two more entries of your own
// Now average the price of the items
c.average();
// Make payment
double amount = GetData.getDouble(“Enter amount of money for payment”);
c.tendered(amount); // For example twenty dollars were tendered
c.makeChange();
generateReceipt(c);
}
static void generateReceipt(Cahier c)
{
// Write the necessary code that will generate a customer’s receipt.
// The output must be displayed in a scrollable pane
}
}
Description of the output:
The output should be displayed in a scrollable pane, and have the following features:
• The first line displays the name of the establishment.
• Second line reads something like this: Welcome – thanks for stopping, followed by the current date
• The list of items displayed, one item per line – That is, the name of the product and price,
• The sum of all the items
• The number of items purchased
• The average price for each item
• The amount of money tendered
• The amount of change in $ and cents
• The change given in coin denominations
Here is an example of the form of how the output should be ( except that this output must be displayed in a scrollable pane).

If the collection of gap values contains 1, ShellSort will correctly sort an array using that collection. the InsertionSort method The normal insertion sort is identical to interleaved with a gap of 1.
An expanded variant of the insertion sort algorithm is shell sort. In order to lessen the distance between the components to be sorted, it first sorts those that are far apart from one another. Based on the chosen sequence, the space between the pieces is compressed.
We start by selecting a gap size, which establishes the distance between the values in a subsequence. In the case of a starting gap size of 6, for instance, the first subsequence would contain values at positions 1, 7, 13, 19, and so forth, whereas the second subsequence would contain values at positions 2, 8, 14, 20, and so forth.

B)Each worker is paid a wage equal to the highest value of the marginal product of labor(i.e., $40).
C)Each worker is paid $15.
D)We need to know the product price before we can figure out the wage rate.
Answer: A. In equilibrium, each worker is paid is or her value of marginal product of labour.
Explanation:
Marginal productivity of income distribution refers to the additional revenue derived from the marginal unit of product produced and that wages should be equal to the marginal revenue derived from the production of additional or marginal product and this is achieved at equilibrium.
The theory also implies that workers should not be paid below or above the marginal revenue derivable from marginal product which implies they cannot be paid $15 or $40, moreover the product price is not a determinant of wages rate.
In equilibrium, each worker is paid his or her value of the marginal product of labor.
According to the marginal productivity theory of income distribution, wages are determined by the marginal product of labor. Therefore, the correct answer to your question is option A: In equilibrium, each worker is paid his or her value of the marginal product of labor. In the context of your question, this means Noe is paid $40, Barbara $35, Calvin $27, and Diana $15, reflecting each's respective marginal productivity.

Answer: 1.15
Explanation:
Premium = 39%
Thor's share price = $42
The compensation to shareholders will be:
= $42 + ($42 × 0.39)
= $42 + $16.38
= $58.38
Loki's share price = $51
We then calculate the exchange ratio which will be:
= $58.38 / $51
= 1.15
Loki will need to offer an exchange rate of 1.15.
Answer:
2.64%
Explanation:
A = P(1 + r)^n
A = $12,000
P = $10,000
n = 7 years
12,000 = 10,000(1 + r)^7
(1 + r)^7 = 12,000/10,000 = 1.2
(1 + r)^7 = 1.2
1 + r = (1.2)^1/7
I + r = 1.0264
r = 1.0264 - 1 = 0.0264
r = 0.0264 × 100 = 2.64%
Answer:
(a) What is the yield to maturity (annual compounding) on the bond?
Yield to maturity (YTM) = (face value / market price)¹/ⁿ - 1
YTM = ($1,000 / $800)⁰°² - 1 = 0.0456 or 4.56%
(b) Assume the yield to maturity on comparable zeros increases to 7% immediately after purchasing the bond and remains there. Calculate your annual return (holding period yield) if you sell the bond after one year.
holding period yield = (end of period value - initial value) / initial value
initial value = $800
end of period value = ?
to determine the end of period value we must solve:
7% = ($1,000 / ?)⁰°²⁵ - 1
1.07 = ($1,000 / ?)⁰°²⁵
1.07⁴ = $1,000 / ?
? = $1,000 / 1.3108 = $762.90
holding period yield = ($762.90 - $800) / $800 = -4.64%
(c) Assume yields to maturity on comparable bonds remain at 7%, calculate your annual return if you sell the bond after two years.
1.07³ = $1,000 / ?
? = $1,000 / 1.225 = $816.30
holding period yield = ($816.30 - $800) / $800 = 2.04%
annualized return = (1 + total return)¹/ⁿ - 1 = (1 + 0.0204)¹/² - 1 = 1.01%
(d) Suppose after 3 years, the yield to maturity on similar zeros declines to 3%. Calculate the annual return if you sell the bond at that time.
1.03² = $1,000 / ?
? = $1,000 / 1.0609 = $942.60
holding period yield = ($942.60 - $800) / $800 = 17.83%
annualized return = (1 + total return)¹/ⁿ - 1 = (1 + 0.1783)¹/³ - 1 = 5.62%
This business related question deals with the calculation and understanding of yield to maturity and holding period yield related to a zero-coupon Treasury bond. The yield to maturity is the estimated total return if a bond is held until it matures. The holding period yield is dependent on the current market conditions and may alter if the bond is sold before it reaches its maturity.
To answer these questions, you first need to understand key concepts related to bonds. A zero-coupon bond is a bond that doesn't give regular interest payments to the investor. Instead, the investor purchases the bond for a price lower than its face value, then receives the face value when the bond reaches maturity. The difference represents the investor's profit.
Let's handle each sub-question in the context of a five-year zero-coupon Treasury bond that you bought for $800 but has a face value of $1000:
a) The yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return anticipated on a bond if it is held until it matures. Yield to maturity is expressed annually as a percentage. In this case, the equation to solve for yield to maturity is: $1,000 = $800*(1+YTM)^5. Normally, it's impossible to directly solve this equation for YTM (without using calculators or software with financial functions), making it a more complex business topic.
b & c) The holding period yield is different than the yield to maturity and takes into account the current market conditions. In this scenario, if interest rates were to rise to 7%, the bond's value would decrease, impacting your returns if you decided to sell before maturity.
d) The same concept applies if yield to maturity changes after 3 years or at any other time before maturity. An alteration in the market interest rates would affect the price at which you could sell your bond, hence influencing your annual return.
