Malika just got hired by Amazon to work in upper management. She currently lives in South Carolina, and has to move to Californi

zzz [600]

Answer: Malika's job starts in one month, so she will have one month without work. Therefore, the opportunity cost of moving herself is low during this month.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Malika just got hired by Amazon to work in upper management and that she currently lives in South Carolina, and has to move to California for the job.

A good economic reason for her to move her personal belongings on her own rather than hiring someone else is Malika's job starts in one month, so she will have one month without work. Therefore, the opportunity cost of moving herself is low during this month.

Since her job will start in a month, that means that she can use the available time she has to move her personal belongings. Assuming, she has something else to do or she'll be busy and will be hard for her to move it on her own, then it'll be logical to request for someone to help her move it but in this case, she can move it herself as the opportunity cost is low.

Ahmed, a lawyer, sold his car to Carlos. Has an implied warranty of merchantability been created by this transaction? No, becaus

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

A. No, because Ahmed is not a merchant.

Explanation:

Implied warranty of merchantability is a law in contract which states that when there is a transaction between a seller (the merchant), and a buyer, there is an unwritten guarantee from the seller, that the product meets up to the ordinary standards of care. This means that the goods must be fit to do what the merchant says it will do. Therefore, if the seller finds it defective, he could return it to the seller. and if the seller refuses to make a change, a legal case could be established. The merchant by law is a wholesaler or retailer, who sells goods in which he has expertise or special skills.

Ahmed in the question could be argued in court to not be a merchant of cars and as such, has no expertise with which he can make a guarantee for the car being sold to Carlos.

For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Number of Firms - many

Type of Product - differentiated

Market Model - monopolistic competition

Number of Firms - many

Type of Product - standardised

Market Model - perfect competition

Number of Firms - few

Type of Product - standardised

Market Model - oligopoly

Number of Firms - one

Type of Product - unique

Market Model - monopoly

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry. In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

price setting firms
profit maximisation
high barriers to entry or exit of firms
downward sloping demand curve
