Answer:

The correct answer is: oligopoly.

Explanation:

A market structure where there are only a few firms is called an oligopoly market. These firms can be producing either identical products or differentiated products.  

Because of few firms, there is a high degree of competition in the market. The firms are price makers and face a downward sloping curve.  

There is interdependence in the market such that the economic decisions of a firm affects the price, profits and output level of its rivals. So the firms have to consider the reaction of its rivals before making an economic decision.

DerKrebs [107]

Solution :

13. Net income = total assets x ROA

                   = $ 1,000,000 x 12%

                  = $ 120,000

Net Income for company is $120,000.

Net Profit margin = 4.25%

Total sales = net income / net profit margin

                  = $ 120,000 / 4.25%

                  = $ 2,823,529

Total sales for company is $ 2,823,529

14. Debt ratio = 72%

   So weight of debt = 72%

   Weight of equity = 1 - 72%

                                = 28%

   Debt equity ratio  $=\frac{72 \%}{28 \%}$  

                                 =  2.57

   Debt equity ratio is 2.57

15. Debt ratio = 42.50%

So, weight of debt = 42.50%

Weight of equity = 1 - 42.50%

                             = 57.50%

Weight of equity is 57.50%.

Return on equity = 15%.

Return on assets = 57.50% × 15%

                            = 8.625%

Return on assets is 8.625%.

16.

Debt Equity ratio = 1.45

Weight of debt = 59.18%

Weight of equity = 40.82%

Return on assets = 16%

Return on equity = 16% / 40.82%

                              = 39.20%

Return on equity is 39.20%.

17.

Total Assets turnover = Sales / Total Assets

                                     = (Net Income / Total Assets) / (Net Income / Sales)

                                    = ROA / Net Profit margin

                                      = 7.50% / 15%

                                      = 0.50

Total Assets turnover is 0.50.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

They all help explain the downsloping demand curve

Explanation:

The options to the question wasn't provided. The complete question can be in the attached image.

The demand curve slopes downward from left to right. This indicates that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

Income effect is a change in quantity demanded when real income change. Quantity demanded increases when real income increases and decreases when real income falls.

Substitution effect says that consumers would substituite to the consumption of a cheaper good when the price of a good originally consumed increases.

Diminishing marginal utility states that as consumption increases, utility derived from consumption falls and quantity demanded falls.
