An open corporation does not allow the sale of their stock to the general public, only to investment capital brokers.

Which of the following is a result of over-diversification through acquisition? Select one:

Answer:

3) Corporations use acquisition as a substitute for innovation.

Explanation:

The fastest way in which a corporation can enter a new market or develop new products is through buying existing companies that already operate in the new target markets or have developed the new products that the corporation wishes to sell.

Research and development is very costly and time consuming, and on many occasions the results aren't even good or are not as good as expected. By acquiring a smaller company that has already developed the product, then the corporation might even save money.

If the government wants to minimize the deadweight loss of taxation, which of the following items are good candidates for an exc

lesantik [10]

Answer:

A. emergency plumber services and C.insulin.

Explanation:

From the list provided the best candidates for this would be emergency plumber services and insulin. That is because these are items or services that have a high supply but low demand due to the population of customers being a minority. This, therefore, causes market inefficiency which leads to deadweight loss. Other items like Coca-Cola and food mostly stay in equilibrium because products are made depending on the current demand and the customer population is the vast majority.

Explain how a seller can determine whether the demand for his or her good is inelastic, elastic, or unit elastic between two pri

patriot [66]

Answer:

by calculating the elasticity of demand.

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

The results of excel are:

Anova: Single Factor

SUMMARY

Groups Count Sum Average Variance

Column 1 5 54 10.8 1.2

Column 2 5 40 8 2

Column 3 5 42 8.4 2.8

1) Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0: u1=u2=u3 i.e all the three means are equal and

Ha: Not all three means are equal

2) The significance level is set at ∝ =0.05

3)The test statistic to use is

F= sb²/ sw²

which has F distribution with v1= k-1 →3-1=2 and v2= n-k →15-3=12 degrees of freedom

After calculations the following table is obtained.

Within Groups 24 12 2

Total 46.93 14

4) The critical region is F ≥ F(0.05, 2,12) = 3.885

5) Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis and conclude all three means are not equal.
