A collusive agreement between two firms is likely to break down when detection of cheaters is difficult .

Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Collusion is a secret agreement between two or more parties to suppress open competition by misleading, lying or defrauding others of their rightfulness or achieving a goal prohibited by law that usually is to defraud or gain an unacceptable market advantage.  

It is an agreement between companies or individuals that divides a market establishes prices, limits or limits production opportunities. It can include "strike, pay manipulation, kickbacks or the freedom of the relationship between the two parties." All collusion-driven actions are considered null and void legally.

In the USA, Canada collusion is illegal because of antitrust legislation, but implicit collusion even now takes place in the method of price management and tacit agreement.  

Example: Google and Apple announced that both firms decided not to hire people to work together to stop wage growth in 2015, a statement against bullying collusion by employees.

lawyer [7]

Answer: c. taxes on capital gains can be timed

Explanation:

Capital gains represent an appreciation in the value of a security therefore they bring in profit to the owners of that security. Capital gains are not taxed until the owner sells the security which means that these taxes can be timed by the owner who can decide to sell at specific times to reduce their tax bill.

This is different from dividends that are taxed as soon as the company declares them. The investors have no say as to the tax timing so they will prefer capital gains where they have some form of control.

Explanation:

We need to solve for the PTM of a 6 year annuity with quarterly payment discount for 6.25% compounding quarterly as well:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PTM\\

PV $10,438.8800

rate 0.015625 8 ( 0.0625 / 4 )

The payment every quarter will be for:

10438.88 \div \frac{1-(1+0.015625)^{-24} }{0.015625} = PTM\\

PTM  $ 524.942
