Answer:

It implies there are diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

It implies there are diseconomies of scale in the industry

Because as the quantity of units output increase, the cost also increase. While in economies of scale, the slope for the LRAC will be negative, as each increase in output lowers the cost.

When this occurs, there is a lower change of monopoly in the industry, as the larger firm also faces the larger cost, so the supply tend to be more diverse.

While a, indifined negative slope will generate monopolies as their cost become lower at gerater the output.

harina [27]

Answer:

Suppose that in year 2021, Bloomfield had equal share of percentage of ownership in Clor as they had in previous year i.e 2020, it means that in 2021, the share of percentage that will be held by Bloomfield in Clor will be 26.59%

Explanation:

From the above, we will assume that Bloomfield stake in Clor using equity method and also investment in 2020 was $150,650 and $165,300 in 2021.

Inorder to calculate the percentage , we can make it Y hence we will add amount in 2020 with Y% of (Net income - Dividend declared) inorder to arrive at the total amount in 2021.

Solution.

$150,650 + Y% (75,600 - $20,500) = $165,300

$150,650 + $55,100Y = $165,300

$55,100Y = $165,300 - $150,650

$55,100Y = $14,650

Y% = $14,650/$55,100

Y% = 0.26588

Y = 0.26588 × 100

Y = 26.59

Beginning inventory = 1,000 units

Desired ending inventory = 2,500 units

= Desired ending inventory + need to sell the units in a month - beginning inventory

= 2,500 units + 4,000 units - 1,000 units

= 5,500 units
