Opportunity cost is best described as below:

Giving up an opportunity to do something else when making an economic decision.

In simple words, when there are two or more options in front of a person while making a decision, and he takes one of them by keeping something in mind and leave the other ones, then he is losing the opportunity of having the other alternative. This losing cost is actually the Opportunity Cost. It is basically the loss of one option while choosing the other one.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: a. increased paperwork at every step of the shipping process.

Explanation:

There is no excerpt attached but this should be the answer.

Having five different factories in China means that Holden Outwear would have to transport things to and fro all five factories including raw materials, intermediate goods and finished goods.

This represents a lot of shipping and shipping comes with paperwork. It would therefore be no surprise if the Holden Outwear is having to go through the bane of increased paperwork for manufacturing at five different factories.

For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Number of Firms - many

Type of Product - differentiated

Market Model - monopolistic competition

Number of Firms - many  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - perfect competition

Number of Firms - few  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - oligopoly

Number of Firms - one

Type of Product - unique

Market Model - monopoly

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.   In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

  • price setting firms  
  • profit maximisation
  • high barriers to entry or exit of firms
  • downward sloping demand curve

Please help! :)
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Arbitration and mediation are two alternative ways of resolving legal conflicts, that is, they are alternatives to judicial litigation.

Thus, arbitration involves the selection of an impartial third party (similar to a judge), who will decide through an award who of the parties is right, basing his decision on law, morals, ethics or common sense.

For its part, mediation involves a negotiation between the parties, assisted by a third party, the mediator, who will seek to reach an agreement.

Both alternatives imply that a lawsuit is not initiated, which in itself entails a notable economic and time saving for the parties in conflict.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

Depreciation is charged to every asset based on the life and usage of such asset.

Straight line depreciation method charges equivalent depreciation each year of the useful life of the asset.

Here, as provided straight line depreciation = \frac{Cost\ of\ asset\ - Salvage\ value}{Life\ of\ asset}

Here, cost of asset = $48,000

Salvage value = $8,000

Thus, numerator in fraction = $48,000 - $8,000 = $40,000

Useful life of the asset = 4 years

Therefore, depreciation expense for each year = \frac{40,000}{4\ years} = 10,000

It will be same for each year, therefore, depreciation expense for year 2 = $10,000
