Answer: avoid competition (monopolize)

Explanation:

The desire of businesses to monopolize, so that they can raise the prices that they charge and earn higher profits, has been well-understood by economists for a long time.

Monopoly is a situation whereby a company has exclusive control over trade in a particular goods, thus beating out every competitor. When this is achieved, the company can regulate prices however they choose.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) discussing explanations for an unexpected scientific finding.

Explanation:

A serendipity is a discovery or a fortunate, valuable and unexpected finding that occurs accidentally, by chance or by destination, or when a different thing is being sought. It can also refer to the ability of a subject to recognize that he has made an important discovery even if it is not related to what he is looking for. Serendipities are frequent in the history of science. There are also cases of serendipity in literary works, when an author writes about something he has imagined and is not known in his time, and it is subsequently shown that this exists as defined by the writer, with the same details. It should not be confused with anticipation or science fiction, where much more generic inventions are advanced than almost everyone thinks they will probably exist one day.

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Explanation:

Cash.......1000

Merchandise inventory...12,500

Store supplies....5800

Prepaid Insurance...2400

Accounts Payable...................10,000

Sales..............................111950

Cost of Goods Sold....38,400

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal year is $1,650. Depreciation expense on store equipment, a selling expense, is $1,600 for the fiscal year. To estimate shrinkage, a physical count of ending merchandise inventory is taken. It shows $11,000 of inventory is still available at fiscal year-end. 4. Compute the current ratio, acid-test ratio, and gross margin ratio as of January 31, 2018.

Therefore Balance Store supplies = 5800-1900

Prepaid Insurance = 2400-1650

Balance Inventory = 11,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

Current Ratio = (1000 cash + 11,000 inventory + 3,900 Store supplies + 750 prepaid insurance) / 10,000 Accounts payable = 16650/10000 = 1.67

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid test Ratio = Current Asset - inventory / Current Liabilities

(16,650 -  11,000 inventory - 3,900 Store supplies - 750 Prepaid Insurance) /10,000 = 0.1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales x 100

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 111,950 - 38400 = 73550

Therefore Gross profit Margin = 73550/111950 x 100 = 66%

Gross Profit Margin = 66%
