Answer: True, False
Explanation:
Perfectly competitive market is governed by the following characteristics,
a. Identical/homogeneous goods
b. Large number of buyers and sellers
c. Free entry and exit
d. Perfect information
Therefore, the above statement is <em>true</em> that in a perfectly competitive market, all producers sell identical goods or services. Additionally, there are many buyers and sellers. Because of these two characteristics, both buyers and sellers in perfectly competitive markets are <em>price takers</em>.
The market for digital cable does exhibit the two primary characteristics that define perfectly competitive markets. Firms in a digital cable market have to sell the same product (like the channels they offer), they need to set the same price. Thus, the statement is <em>false</em>.
Answer:

Explanation:
A conflict refers to a disagreement in ideas or views which creates discord and hampers the normal operations and is injurious to goals of an organization.
A conflict may arise within a department, within a team or with clients and bosses. Resolving such conflicts becomes an essential task.
Under the collaborative approach of conflict resolution, both parties to a conflict intend to find a midway i.e win-win situation. The approach includes arrival of parties to a mutually beneficial result. This is confrontational approach where the solution to the problem is sought.
Such an approach encourages trust and agreement and is more suited when the parties to a conflict are open to resolve it in a direct and equal manner.
Answer:B
Explanation: pay attention
To solve: add up all in the labor costs and then divide by the number of units produced to get the per unit cost of the labor.
<span>Direct materials = $4,400
Direct labor = $5,600
Factory overhead = $2,400
Units produced = 1,000
Per unit cost = ($4,400 + $5,600 + $2,400)/1,000
Per unit cost = $12,400/1,000
Per unit cost = $12.40</span>
If the company requires a return of 10 percent for such an investment, calculate the present value of the project.
The present value of the project is $72349.51.
Since we consider only incremental cash flows for a project, we consider $21,600 for year one and calculate a 4% increase for each of the additional years.
We then calculate the Present Value Interest Factor (PVIF) at 10% for four years using the formula :
PVIF = 1 / [(1+r)^n]
Next, we find the product of the respective cash flows and PVIF for each year.
Finally, we find the total of the discounted cash flows for the four years to find the Present Value of the project.
