A cartel differs from a monopoly in that by businesses making the same product agree to limit production.

Further Explanation:

Cartel: It is an association formed by manufacturer, supplier, or both to limit production level, to fix prices, or to share customers or markets among themselves.

Monopoly: It is a market structure characterized by one producer selling a unique product. There are barriers to exit and entry. The firm in the monopoly is price maker, not the price taker.

Justification for the correct and incorrect answer:

One corporation has complete control of a product or service: This option is incorrect.

In the case of monopoly, there is a single producer who has control over services or product. In the case of a cartel, there are many producers who form an association to limit the supply or to fix the prices.

Businesses making the same product agree to limit production: This option is correct.

In the case of a monopoly, there is only a single producer who sells unique services or products. In the case of the cartel, there are many producers who are selling the same product agree to form an association to limit the supply or to fix the prices.

One firm sets the prices for all goods in the industry: This option is incorrect.

The one firm setting the price for product or service is a characteristic of the monopoly, but the cartel is characterized by many firms that agree to set the price.

All the firms involved in the same business merge into one entity: This option is incorrect.

The monopoly is characterized by a single producer, so it cannot merge with other business and cartel is an association of producer, supplier, or both.

I believe the answer is: B. businesses making the same product agree to limit production.

In a monopoly, only one single business exist that control the production of a certain goods in the market.
For cartel, there are a lot of established businesses with different ownership, but they agreed to control their production in order to maintain the price level in the market.

4. The E. Harris Company issued bonds in September of 2003. When issued, the bonds had 20 years to maturity, a coupon rate of 7.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity. It is the long term return of the bond which is expressed in annual term.

Face value = F = $1,000

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 7.5% = $75

Selling price = P = $1110.40

Number of payment = n = 10 years

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $75 + ( $1,000 - $1,110.4 ) / 10 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $1,110.4 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $75 - 11.04 ] / $1,055.2

Yield to maturity = $63.96 / $1,055.2

Yield to maturity = 0.0606 = 6.06%

Rounded off to whole percentage 6%

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$880.31

Explanation:

For computing the new price of the bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,

Assuming Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 8.6% ÷ 2 = 4.3%

NPER = 8 years × 2 =

PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% ÷ 2 = $32.5

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $880.31

You just purchased an existing business that produces solar panels according to the following production function:

frez [133]

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

In the production function, Q = K0.5L0.5,

K denotes the fixed input in the short run.

First, we calculate the total cost:

Cost of Capital= 25 x $1 = $25

Cost of Labor (for a start 25 workers are used)= 25 x $1 = $25

Total= $50

Since the price of the solar panels is $100, substrating from the total cost $50 (100-50) we get $50 profit per unit of solar panel.

Anna and ben are up for the same promotion at work. when it comes time to make a decision, the management committee chooses ben

harkovskaia [24]

I believe that Anna has just encountered a glass ceiling.
This means that Anna has encountered a barrier that her from rising to the level of management committee through promotion simply because she is a woman.This term is extended to refer to the obstacles that hinder the advancement of minority women. It is often difficult for minority women to rise to ranks simply because of their responsibilities, color and discrimination. In this case, Anna being a good mother to her children makes the management think that she wont want more responsibilities.
