Consider a perfectly competitive market that is currently in a short-run equilibrium, and where each firm in the market is making strictly positive profits. Each firm in the market is using a technology called the type A technology. Suppose that the type A technology is available in some finite number. Passed some threshold, new firms that would enter the market would have to use the type B technology, a different (and inferior) technology. The type B technology results in a higher long run average total cost curve than the type A technology. Given that the market exhibits positive profits in this short run equilibrium, new firms are going to enter the market. Claim: In the long run equilibrium, all firms in the market will be making zero economic profits. prove whether the claim that long run profits are 0 is true or false in this case. The use of graphs, whenever appropriate, is encouraged.

Answer

???

Please also explain No. 1 Salaries expense related to design for a trademark with an indefinite estimated life & No. 6 Cost of equipment (purchased January 2019) that will have alternative uses over 6 years &No. 7 Salaries expense related to updates to an existing product in details because I'm not sure whether these three should be calculated in R & D expense or not. Thanks.

A basic electrical circuit consists of a battery, a light bulb, a switch and wires connecting them. As soon as the switch is closed, even the light bulb is one mile away, the light bulb will be on IMMEDIATELY.  This means that the electrical current (made of moving electrons) starts to run everywhere in the wire as soon as the switch is closed . Explain what happen and the source(s) of these free moving electrons.

• The firm’s plowback ratio (this ratio is also called the retention ratio and the reinvestment rate) is 60%
• The firm’s tax rate is 40%
• The required return on the company’s stock is 10%
1. Construct the firm’s income statements and balance sheets for 2009 and 2010.
2. Calculate the firm’s cash flows (OCF, NCS, change in NWC, CFC, CFS, and FCF) for 2010. Assume all values are year-end values.
3. Calculate the company’s internal growth rate (IGR) and sustainable growth rate (SGR).
4. Use the SGR to forecast three years of financial statements. List all assumptions made to create the forecasts. Use long-term debt as the plug.
5. Use the internal growth rate (IGR) as a permanent growth rate in dividends and estimate the stock price using the single-stage dividend growth model. Use the financial data to find the current dividend per share. There are 3 million shares outstanding. What does the dividend growth model predict the stock price to be? How does the required return break down into its income (DY) and price (CGY) components?
6. If the actual stock price is $50, which of the following might be a valid reason for the large discrepancy between the predicted stock price from above and the actual stock price of $35?
a. The market expects the company to grow at a faster rate than the internal growth rate.
b. The market expects the company to grow at a slower rate than the internal growth rate.
c. The market requires a higher return than the 10% you used to find the stock price?
d. The company is doing very poorly.
e. The company is doing very well.

Think of a technology that, in your opinion, clearly affects the workplace. Try to think of a technology that is not so common. (You might also think about the technology you wish to look into for the research paper.)
Create a dialogue / conversation between two people of approximately 100 lines - about two pages. In it, one person must “act” as if the technology has little or no impact on the workplace. The other (you, perhaps) must convince the first of its impact. That last person needs to provide examples of the unanticipated and anticipated consequences of the technology. Provide an
