Answer:
The correct option is is A, predatory pricing
Explanation:
Predatory pricing is an illegal approach to pricing where a firm fixes a very low price in order to send competitors out of business.
This is very applicable to a firm that has economies of scale where its cost per unit reduces as more and more units are produced, making it possible to undercut competitors without feeling much impact in profitability.
This approach is against the anti-trust law as it paves for a monopoly market,where only one firm operating in the market determines the price which is not likely to be favorable to consumers
Yearly payments, P = $3,600
Annual discount rate, i = 8% = 0.08
Number of years, n = 12
Present value (PV) when payments are done at done the beginning of each year:
PV = P+P[1-(1+i)^-(n-1)]/i = 3,600+3,600[1-(1+0.08)^-(12-1)]/0.08 = $29,300.27
Present value (PV) when payments are done at the end of each year:
PV = P[1-(1+i)^-n]/i = 3,600[1-(1+0.08)^-12]/0.08 = $27,129.88
The difference between the two values = $29,300.27 - $27,129.88 = $2,170.39
Answer: A. upward
Explanation:
Tariffs are taxes that a Government imposes on imported goods in a bid to protect local producers that are making the same goods.
When a Tariff is implemented, it will make goods from outside more expensive as well as give domestic producers an opportunity to charge higher prices as imports have become more expensive.
Both of these results will pull the domestic prices up.
The answer is 10 I’m pretty sure!

Group of answer choices:
a. Due to the possibility of earthquake damage, Gubenator should decline coverage for the Freedom Tower.
b. Given the notoriety of the tower and the likelihood of positive press for providing coverage, Gubenator should insure the Freedom Tower.
c. Gubenator has the financial capacity to issue the policy.
d. Gubenator should insure the Freedom Tower only if it can obtain reinsurance for part of the risk from other insurance companies, since a total loss could be catastrophic to Gubenator.
Answer:
American Builders, Inc (Freedom Tower) and Gubenator Insurance Company
d. Gubenator should insure the Freedom Tower only if it can obtain reinsurance for part of the risk from other insurance companies, since a total loss could be catastrophic to Gubenator.
Explanation:
Option A establishes that the earthquake occurrence is a possibility and not a probability. That means it cannot be reasonably estimated that an earthquake may occur. Gubernator exists to insure property against the occurrence of risky events. It should go ahead and do its business. And it can spread the risk with other insurance companies through Reinsurance. Gubernator is not in the business of looking for cheap publicity, so option B is ruled out. Given that the Freedom Tower will only be one of the many properties insured by Gubernator, we cannot use its current capital to judge its capacity to handle the Freedom Tower; thus ruling out option C.
