Answer:

monopolist

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a kind of imperfect competition in which specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity.

A monopolist is not very much concerned about the product as customers have no alternatives but to buy that product.

Also, he can change the price or quantity of the product as in an industry he is a single seller .

In the given question, it's given that There is often only one provider of cable television services in each region of the country: Time Warner is in New York, Comcast is in most of New England, and so forth.

So, it would have caused Comcast to become an overly large <u>monopolist</u> with too much power if it buys Time Warner.

Answer:

The correct answer is c. economies of scale.

Explanation:

The situation in which a company reduces its production expenses by expanding is called economy of scale. It is a situation in which the more it occurs, the cost that the company has to manufacture a product is lower.

There is a greater benefit for every extra unit we produce. This reduction in the cost of unit manufacturing is not reduced because the price of raw materials goes down, but to take advantage of a material that we have already bought and in which we invested money in the past.

Therefore, it occurs especially in situations in which the company buys more facilities. If we buy a machinery, the way to take advantage of it is to produce more since it is the way that we get a greater benefit, by taking advantage of the same machinery to produce more products, the unit cost of each product is lower. And we will get more benefit the more we produce. This benefit will be greater since we will not have to increase manufacturing costs since we have already had it before.

The percent change in quantity demanded divided by the percent change in income.

-when the income elasticity for a good is less than 1(ie from 0-1) we say that the good is a normal good. these goods are also called necessity goods and consumers will purchase them irrespective of the changes in their  income eg water, electricity

- when the income elasticity of a good is greater than 1 , we say that  the good is a luxury good. eg butter

- An inferior good is one with a negative income elasticity  which means  rising incomes will lead to a drop in demand.

Which two are profit-oriented approaches to setting a price?
EleoNora [17]

Profit-oriented approaches to setting a price to a good are those concerns or strategies that are used in order to determine what the price of a good would be.

There are three types of Profit-oriented pricing approaches and they include:

  • <u>Target profit </u>
  • <u>Target return-on-sales</u>
  • <u>Target return-on-investment pricing.</u>

These are all used to create a balance to the profits made and the cost of a product. However, the return on sales is good because it makes predictions about demand for the product and makes a suitable pricing for the product.

Please note that your question is incomplete and i gave you a general overview which should help you get the correct answer.
