The industrial organization (I/O) model of above-average returns:

Business
1 answer:
lara [203]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The answer is A) Puts emphasis on the external environment, which plays a role in determining a company´s ability to achieve above-average returns.

Explanation:

The I/O Model of Above-Average Returns basically assumes that the industry in which a company decides to compete in has a much larger influence on performance (earnings and profit) than the choices the managers of this company make.

The basic assumptions of this organization model are:

  • The external environment imposes pressures and constraints that determine the strategies of the company and will result in above average returns.
  • It assumes competing companies control similar strategically relevant resources and pursue similar strategies.
  • Resources are highly mobile across companies, so that any differences that might develop between companies will be short-lived.
  • Decision-makers within the company are assumed to be rational and committed to acting in the company´s profit-maximizing behaviors.

If the consumption of a good generates positive externalities, then which of the following is correct? The government can subsid
vekshin1

Answer:

Both of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

Positive externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties exceeds its cost.

Activities that generate positive externality are

1. Education

2. Research and development

To encourage activities that have positive externality, government can subsidise such activities. Subsidies makes the activity cheaper and incentivise people to carry out such activities.

Market forces may lead to an underallocation of resources to producing the good. Therefore, the government might intervene in the allocation of the resources to increase efficiency.

I hope my answer helps you.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$17,167

Explanation:

<em>The first step is to calculate amount of cash that would be charged</em>

<em>For 30 months, pay $520 per month for 30 months and an additional $10,000 at the end of 30 months.</em>

Present value is = 2,221

<em>Then</em>

<em>The present value of the payment options is =</em>

<em>($520 * PVA (24% 12,30) + $10,000 PV ( 24% 12,30))</em>

<em>$520 * 22.396 + $10,000 * 0.5521</em>

<em>$11646 + $ 5521</em>

<em>$17,167</em>

<em>Therefore the amount of cash the car dealer would charge is $17,167</em>

Ginny and Eric are partners at an architecture firm. They are trying to determine which of them has a comparative advantage in b
blondinia [14]

Answer: (i) $20 per model

(ii) $27 per model

(iii) Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models.

Explanation:

A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore,

Ginny's Opportunity cost of producing one model = \frac{400}{20}

                                                                                      = $20 per model

Eric’s opportunity cost of building models = $20 + 35% of $20

                                                                      = $20 + $7

                                                                      = $27 per model

Hence, Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models because Ginny's opportunity cost of building model is lower than Eric's opportunity cost.

Answer:

Ebay

Explanation:

Ebay’s corporate and sales websites have  a lot of differences, the most notable being the lack of interface to purchase products on the corporate site. Another difference is that the corporate website is more like a newsfeed, showing achievements, advertisements, etc, for the company, whereas the sales site has lots of pictures and products, and it is more visually pleasing because of the colours. A final difference is there is a lot less text and writing on the sales website than on the corporate website.

Some qualities I associate with Ebay are:

That the products sold on the website are often cheaper than in the shops, because you are purchasing directly from the business.

Another quality that i think of is that it enables small businesses to start their companies without the costs of properties. as well as providing big corporations with somewhere to ensure they get sales.

A final quality that i associate with Ebay is the ability to sell your unwanted things to people, therefore making some profit.

I think Ebay does not have a target market, as when you access their sales website, they have products for every age group, baby toys, phones, mobility scooters, etc.

An example of a desire-based advertisement i have seen is the Galaxy advertisement, where the chocolate is portrayed as a luxury product that is desired by everyone.

An example of fear-based advertising is toothpaste advertisements, where they show what could happen if you don’t use their product, which makes you want to buy it.

You're welcome.

Many U.S. firms have sought relief from foreign competition by demanding protectionism policies by the U.S. government. A better
lord [1]

Answer: C) Continuously improve their products at home.

Explanation:

Protectionism policies like tariffs and import quotas have the effect of reducing free trade which erodes consumer welfare as well as hurting trade so should be avoided if better options exist.

One of those is for a company to increase its market base instead of relying on protection from the government. If they can expand into foreign market, they will have a larger market in which to trade their goods and increase profitability.

Another way is to improve their products at home. Better products would attract more customers to their products and increase profitability.
