How did the rise of huge industrial cartels affect free market competition?

History

<span>Cartels could fix prices and sell at a loss to strangle out competition. Then raise prices afterward which would cover all previous losses. 
They could generate income by horizontal integration which would be possibly controlling all retail sales of a certain product. 
They could also generate income through vertical integration which meant owning a large portion of the industry (possibly mining) which provided the raw material, the means of production (factories, for example), the means of transporting the product to market (rail roads for example), and even owning the means of selling the product(s) (retailing). They could set the price and costs all along the way. They could also exploit their workers by being the 'only show in town' and therefore setting wages low and working hours high. If a vertically integrated company had to show their books to government auditors they could try to make a case to show a small advantage over competitors at each level of their operation which would come out overall as a major advantage which could put others out of business. 
A couple of industries to look at would be the railroads and oil. People to research: Andrew Carnegie, J. D. Rockefeller and other industrialists/robber barons. A student may want to read the works of some of the 'muckrakers' of the era.</span><span>

Robert says his better long jump was about 1 foot farther than mays better long jump is he correct
victus00 [196]

Answer:

He is correct!

Explanation:

What you forgot to add to the question:

Mays jumps : 4 2/3 and 4 3/4

Robert jumps : 6 1/12 and 5 2/3

May:

- 4 2/3 = 12+2/3 = 14/3 = 4.667 ft

- 4 3/4 = 16+3/4 = 19/4 = 4.75 ft

Her best jump = 4.75

Robert:

- 6 1/2 = 72+1/12 = 73/12 = 6.08 ft

- 5 2/3 = 15+2/3 = 17/3 = 5.66 ft

His best jump = 6.08 ft

6.08- 4.75 = 1.33 ft --> about 1 (if you round it!)

One reason why many radio stations opted for a local or regional approach in the 1950s was:
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. audiences for popular music shifted from radio to television

Explanation:

In 1948 the radio reached its peak in relation to financial success. However, after 1948, national media dominated by network radio succumbed from 46% in 1945 to 25% in 1952. In the late 1950s, most radio stations disengaged from networks, switching to cheaper programs. Thus, the radio was transformed from a national to a local advertising medium, and its centrality in american popular culture was quickly occulted by television.
