Answer: Government regulation, Economies of scale
Explanation:
Barriers to entry refers to the restrictions that are imposed on the entry of a new firm or business into the market. These can be,
a). <em>Government regulation</em>- Sometimes the government puts many restrictions on the entry of a new firm. These can be license requirement or by limiting the availability of a resource.
b). <em>Economies of scale</em>- These refer to the efficiency in production that occurs when one firm grows larger in size and is able to cover the entire market at a lower cost than many small firms producing the same good in smaller quantities. The cost of production is lower for a single firm than for many firms.
Answer:
the condition that has been reached is market equilibrium.
Answer:
A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized
Explanation:
Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse relationship between price & quantity demanded.
Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :
Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.
This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].
If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.
If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.
So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.
Answer:
Downward communication
Explanation:
Downward communication in a formal structure is the flow of information in terms of orders, appreciation, encouragement from higher authority to subordinates across the organization.
Upward communication in the form of feedback and problems flow from lower level employees to upper level. Here, the board of directors are top level employees who have passed the message to the employees to raise the level of service. This is a form of downward communication.
