aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

Firms are not in competition with many other firms in every market structure. Some market structures such as monopolies or oligopolies feature either one single firm, or only a few firms, that frequently collude instead of competing.

Not all firms leave the market as soon as they lose profits. Some do, but others stay. A monopoly can survive decades without increasing its profits.

Not all firms will try to maximize profits, some will try to maximize market share instead, especially in perfectly-competitive market structures.

Not all firms face a horizontal demand curve. In some market structures, demand can be very dynamic, either sloping upwards (increasing) or downwards (decreasing).

It costs Glenwood, Inc. $82 per unit to manufacture 1,000 units per month of a product that it can sell for $122 each. Alternati

mixas84 [53]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The profit would increase by $ 4000 if complex product was produced.</h2>

Explanation:

Total number of units to be manufactured = 1000

(i) The cost price of 1 unit = $ 82

The cost price of 1000 units = 82 * 1000 = $ 82000

Selling price of 1 unit = $ 122

The selling price of 1000 units = 122 * 1000 = $ 122000

Profit earned = 122000 - 82000 = $ 40000

(ii)To produce a complex product,

The cost price of 1 unit = $ 82 + $ 36 = $ 118

The cost price of 1000 units = 118 * 1000 = $ 118000

Selling price of 1 unit = $ 162

The selling price of 1000 units = 162 * 1000 = $ 162000

Profiy earned = 162000 - 118000 = $ 44000

Therefore, the profit would increase by $ 4000 if complex product was produced.

Some people include a letter of last instruction in their estate planning. What is likely TRUE about this letter?

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A Letter of Last Instruction (LOLI) serves to give family important information such as where the person wants to be buried, instructions for any pets, or location of important legal documents.

Side note: this is not a will, and should not be used as a substitution for one. A will is a legal document, a LOLI is not.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions about my response.

A stockbroker predicts whether a stock will go up or down by tossing a coin and so has a 50% chance of making a correct predicti

kolezko [41]

Answer:

A skilled broker will be right at 60% of time compared to 50%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now,

Let X be represented as = number of correct predictions/outcomes

X foll binomial distribution with n = 3 and p = 0.5 for broker who use a toss coin

Thus,

P(X = 3) = p^3 = 0.5^3 which gives us = 0.125

So,

For a skilled broker, Y goes with the binomial distribution with n = 3 and p is = 0.6

Then,

P(Y = 3) = 0.6^3 = 0.216

We can therefore conclude who is skilled broker by making large number of observations

Hence, we say that a skilled broker will be correct 60% of time compared to 50% .

KIM [24]

Answer:

GDP grew by $2,200

Explanation:

G<em>ross domestic product (GDP) which is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced in a country over a given period of time. The GDP can be calculated using the value added approach.</em>

Here the GPD figure is ascertained by summing the amount of additional value created by each factor of production at each stage of the production process of the final product.

<em>Only the values added are summed, the cost of the inputs or intermediate goods are not included</em>

<em>In this question, the final value of $2200 represents the amount by which the GDP has increased in the period. This also can be verified using the value-added approach as follows</em>

Value added($)

Gold miner - 600

Mining company : 1000 -600 = 400

Jewerlry maker :1600 - 1000 = 600

Departmental store :2200 -1600 = <u>600</u>

Total value added <u>2,200</u>
