Answer:

D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.

Explanation:

Firms competing in perfectly competitive markets are price takers, meaning that they cannot set the price of their products or services, but monopolists can actually set the price of their products or services because their market power is high enough to do so. Also, a monopolist can choose to lower or increase its output depending on the resulting profits.

This excessive market power is the reason why natural monopolies are usually regulated by the governments and many monopolistic firms are forced to split into smaller firms that compete against each other.

From 1948 to 2003 the United States experienced an average real GDP growth rate of 3.5 percent and Guatemala had an average real
Luda [366]

Answer:

No, we can’t say

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to decide if we can say that Guatemala’s standard of living grew more than that of the US’ standard of living between the years 1993 and 2003 given the pointers in the question.

We cannot say that this is correct because of the following reasons;

As observed from the question, the US growth rate was calculated between the years 1948-2003, which is indicative of a 55 year span. Now, comparing this with that of Guatemala, we can see that the span here is just 10 years I.e from 1993 to 2003.

Also, we were not provided with the population growth rate in both countries and this makes it difficult to judge which of the two countries have a better growth in terms of standard of living

Leokris [45]

Answer:

(2) 4%

Explanation:

The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;

Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2

Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%

Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.

kobusy [5.1K]

(A) Eliminate status-blind employment practice.

What is a glass ceiling?

  • A glass ceiling is a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy.
  • The metaphor was first coined by feminists in reference to barriers in the careers of high-achieving women.
  • In the United States, the term is sometimes extended to include barriers to minority women's and minority men's advancement.
  • Minority women in white-majority countries frequently face the greatest challenges in "breaking the glass ceiling," because they are at the convergence of two historically marginalized groups: women and people of color.
  • The phrase "bamboo ceiling" was coined by East Asian and East Asian American news outlets to describe the barriers that all East Asian Americans encounter in furthering their careers.

After reading all the questions option (A) is the most useful way to break the glass ceiling.

Therefore, the correct option is (A) Eliminate status-blind employment practice.
