Answer:
At one time, the centrally planned economy of China encouraged farmers to produce iron in their backyards, rather than have factories make iron. This proved unsuccessful, since most of the farmers' iron was of poor quality. Why do you think this approach was unsuccessful? How could this experiment become a success in a free market economy?
The reason why the approach whereby farmers make iron in their backyard could not work out is as a result of not being inclined in that market as they are only skilled in agriculture, also they do not understand the rhetorics of the business.
The experiment would be a success in a free market as anyone is allowed to sell such product, this gives room for competition and helps to price reduction which is good for the consumers, also it would help in improvement of such product's quality because of competition involved

Answer:
Decrease of $18,000
Explanation:
As there is a payment of dividend so it would reduce the stockholder equity by $50,000
And, there is an increase in account receivable for rendering the service that means the service revenue would increased so the stockholder equity would increased by $32,000
Now the net effect would be
= -$50,000 + $32,000
= -$18,000
Answer:
D. Earn short run economic profits
Explanation:
A cartel can be defined as a formal agreement reached (collusion) in an oligopolistic industry between two or more business firms that are saddled with the responsibility of producing goods and services in order to make price and output decisions such as price regulation, total level of output or supply, allocation of customers, market shares, territory allocation, division of profits, collusive bidding etc.
This ultimately implies that, when a group of independent firms in an oligopolistic industry collude by reaching a formal agreement to regulate supply, as well as manipulate or regulate prices, they do so to increase their profits and market dominance.
Hence, firms colluding earn short run economic profits.
Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
The total cost of estimating and preparing the bid would normally fall between 1% and 2% of the total price of the bid.
It would therefore be best to use an average rate of these:
= ( 1 + 2) / 2
= 1.5%
The estimate will therefore be:
= 1.5% * 10,000,000
= $150,000
