This type of agreement is a violation of the Sherman Act.

A piece of antitrust law from the United States, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, established the idea of unlimited competition between companies. It was authorized by Congress, and its main author is Senator John Sherman. The Sherman Act forbids "any contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade," as well as "every monopolization, attempted monopolization, conspiracy, or combination to monopolize." In order to avoid monopolistic alliances that impede trade and erode economic competition, the Sherman Antitrust Act was created in 1890. It prohibits both formal cartels and attempts to monopolize any sector of American commerce.

Suppose consumers only hold checkable deposits. The demand for money for transactions by consumers is equal to Y*(0.3 - i), wher
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: 17.5%

Explanation:

The equilibrium will occur where the money demanded equals to the money supplied i.e Ms = Md

From the question, the supply of currency by the Central Bank = 40

Money Supply (Ms) = m × B

where m = Money multiplier = 2.5

Note that the money multiplier can also be equal to 1/rr in situations wherebt the consumers do not hold any currency.

rr = reserve ratio, = 0.4

B = monetary base = 40

Note that the monetary base here is 40.

Since reserve ratio = 0.4, therefore

m = 1/0.4 = 2.5

Therefore, Ms = m × B

= 2.5 × 40

= 100

Thus Money supply Ms = 100.

Money demand(Md) = Y(0.3 - i),

Y = income = 800

i = interest rate

Since (Md) = Y(0.3 - i),

Md = 800(0.3 - i)

Equate the equation for the money demand and money supply together.

Ms = Md

100 = 800(0.3 - i)

100 = 240 - 800i

800i = 240 - 100

800i = 140

i = 140/800

i= 0.175

= 17.5%

Therefore, the interest rate is 17.5%

Describe some strategic differences between these firms. What type of trade-off decisions have these firms made
Yuri [45]

Please find full question attached

Answer and Explanation:

I will use Apple and HP in this comparison.Here I would compare Apple's laptop to that of Hewlet Packard as this is where they meet in the industry. Apple employs a strategy of differentiation and standing out in competition through their products. They aim to create products that are quite different and unique/innovative from other products in the market, and yet what the customer wants. In doing this, Apple has a trade-off for cost as they charge alot higher for their products than their competitors. HP on the other hand focus on making the best possible products that get the job done/meet the needs of customers while also being affordable. HP is more focused on affordable devices for their market and therefore have a different market segment for laptops from that of Apple. There is a trade-off for cost and market segment in this comparison

GaryK [48]

Answer:

E. Yes: The MIRR is 9.13 percent.

Explanation:

<em>The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 4.  </em>

Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 5 - n)

                                 = $107,500 x (1.134) ^ 3 + $196,100 x (1.134) ^ 2 + $104,500 x (1.134) ^ 1 + -$92,700 x (1.134) ^ 0  

                                 = $156,764.47 + $252,175,97 + $118,503 - $92,700  

                                 = $434,743.44

<em>The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator : </em>

- $287,500 CFj

0           CFj

0          CFj

0            CFj

$434,743.44   CFj

Shift IRR/Yr 9.13%

Therefore, the MIRR is 9.13% .

umka21 [38]

The journey of a manufactured goods from its raw materials to a consumer’s hands is its marketing channel.

Market research is a complicated industry, but with the correct implements and direction, you can make a high-demand good that essentially sells itself.
