Answer:

Rivalry between Coca-Cola and PepsiCo is not a form of warfare: it is a competitive oligopoly. We might even say it’s a duopoly because the two firms control almost the entire market for soda-flavoured colas.

Answer:

$760

Explanation:

The tax credit for child and dependent care expenses allows working taxpayers to discount up to 35% of care expenses. The exact percentage that you are allowed to deduct depends on your income:

if you earn up to $15,000, you can discount 35% of dependent care expenses of up to $3,000 per child.
the percentage decreases for every $2,000 of income (1% decrease per every $2,000), until your income reaches $43,000 where it remains at 20%.

The Kent's earned $53,000 during the year, so they can claim up to 20% of their children's care expenses = $3,800 x 20% = $760

Two goods are considered to be related goods by many buyers: if the price of one increases, buyers buy more of the other. This i

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: False.

Explanation:

False.

This indicates that the two goods are substitute goods, not the complementary goods.

In case of complementary goods, the price of one good is inversely related with the demand for other related good. For example, car and petrol; if the price of petrol increases as a result demand for cars decreases.

In case of substitute goods, the price of one good is directly related with the demand for other related good. For example, tea and coffee; if the price of coffee increases as a result demand for tea increases. So, there is a positive relationship between the price of one good and demand for the other good.

Explanation:

Control

Entrepreneurs naturally have long-term vision and find focus on quarterly profits frustrating

As an owner of a privately held company, you have complete authority over operational decisions and don’t have to worry about shareholder expectations and interference. Shareholders in public companies are often focused on current earnings and they can exert tremendous pressure to increase earnings in the short term in order to increase the value of their stock.

Right of Non-Disclosure

Privately held companies are not required to disclose details about their operations that could potentially benefit competitors. The SEC has stringent disclosure requirements for public companies, including the details of investor conferences, research analyst meetings and shareholder discussions.

Confidentiality

Information such as executive compensation, legal settlements and other sensitive information cannot be kept confidential in public companies. Compliance with these SEC disclosure regulations can expose information that you would prefer to keep confidential.

The United States is considered the world's premier free-market economy. Its economic output is greater than any other country that has a free market. 1 The U.S. free market depends on capitalism to thrive. The law of demand and supply sets prices and distributes goods and services.
