Answer: Harder to sustain cooperation

Explanation:

When the number of firms in an oligopolistic market increases as is the case here, cooperation becomes harder because profits become smaller so companies start to become more selfish.

Also in this scenario, the cheating firm has the incentive to do so because the profit is so much higher than sharing so companies will always be looking to cheat in order to make this profit. The other firms would reply by reducing prices and all of them would suffer.

givi [52]

Answer:

It will affect the accounting equation in $7.000.

Explanation:

The Assets will increase in $8.000 because Address You now have the right to claim to a customer $8.000 and is recognized in the Receivables. At the same time, Address You has to diminish its inventories at $1.000, because it delivered the dress to the customer. Finally, on the other hand, the profits for selling the dress ($8.000 - $1.000) affect the equity, and now the Accounting equation is balanced.

Helga [31]

The future value of the car that costs $25,000 today in 5 years at an inflation rate of 3% per year is <u>$28,981.85.</u>

<h3>What is the future value?</h3>

The future value shows the value that a present value will be in a future period, given the time value of money concept.

The future value can be computed using the future value formula, future value table, or an online finance calculator as below.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Price of a car today = $25,000

Period to buy the car = 5 years

Inflation rate per year = 3%

Future value factor of 3% for 5 years = 1.159

Future price of the car in 5 years' time = $28,975 ($25,000 x 1.159)

N (# of periods) = 5 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 3%

PV (Present Value) = $25,000

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

FV = $28,981.85

Total Interest $3,981.85

Thus, the future value of the car that costs $25,000 today in 5 years at an inflation rate of 3% per year is <u>$28,981.85.</u>
