Answer:

B) issue a complaint stating that the business is in violation of the law.

Explanation:

The Robinson-Patman Act prohibits seller from practicing price discrimination, that means that they sell their products to different buyers at different prices. This law applies only to the sale of goods, and the goods sold to the different buyers must be similar and the buyers must also be in similar conditions. E.g. it is not illegal to sell at different prices if one buyer is located next to the factory while the other is located 3,000 miles away, in this case the cost of transportation accounts for the difference in price.

Also, price discrimination must result in injury to the buyer, which means that there business is being harmed because their direct competitors receive the product at a lower price. E.g. if a seller charges Walmart a lower price than it charges Target, Target will be forced to sell at a higher price which may result in lower sales.

Finally, since this is a federal law, it generally applies to interstate commerce. Domestic commerce is covered by state laws and state entities.

You invest $5000 in an account at 5.5% per year simple interest. how much will you have in the account after 6 years?
Rus_ich [418]
Simple interest means that you only need to find the interest once and then keep adding it on every year. In this case, the interest would be 5.5% of $5000 every year, which is 275. 
In 6 years, you'll have $1650, which is the amount earned from interest, plus $5000, which is the original investment.

So you'll have $6650 in 6 years.

How do scarce resources influence you personally? What impact does this have on your financial management?
tankabanditka [31]
Scarce resources encourage me to spend time thinking about how I use the limited amount of money and materials that have so that I may use them in a matter that best guarantees that I will get the most satisfaction out of it. Since resources also include time, they also define how much I time I spend doing which activities, and steer me to put in a certain degree of work. 

Since there is a limited supply of resources, the great wheel that facilitates the cycle that these such resources use, known as money, must also be limited. How I manage my finances (money and resources). Knowing this, I am encouraged to invest such resources into more efficient outlets to attain the most powerful results out of my few resources.

dybincka [34]

Full question:

Classify each possible change listed according to whether it will make small farms more efficient or less efficient based on the information in the Washington Post article Small vs. Large: Which Size Farm Is Better for the Planet:

Plant more disease-resistant crops, reduce the number of different crops planted, avoid planting genetically modified crops, rely more on organic rather than synthetic methods of farming,

Answer and Explanation:

Plant more disease-resistant crops is classified under more efficient and Less costly. The writer believes disease resistant crops increase efficiency as there is reduced occurrence of death of crops and consequent increased losses and costs

Reduce the number of different crops planted is classified under more efficient and less costly. The writer emphasizes specialization in farming whereby for example planting rice or corn should be done alone and not mixed with other crops as this would be less efficient and costly.

Avoid planting genetically modified crops is classified less efficient and more costly. The writer encourages planting genetically modified crops as genetically modified plants are geared towards increased plant product and yield from genetically optimized plants

Rely more on organic rather than synthetic methods of farming is classified less efficient and more costly. In the article, the writer believes chemically induced crops are bad for the environment and don't yield much in efficiency with time
