Answer:

differentiated products.

Explanation:

An oligopoly occurs when a few large firms dominate a market and they aim to maximise profit. The action of one firm has significant effect on the market, so the firm's are interdependent.

There are high barriers to entry including use of government liscences, patents, economies of scale, and actions taken by firms to discourage entry into the market.

However differentiation of products is not a necessary condition for oligopoly. Products can be homogenous or differentiated.

A) Direct labor hrs for car wheels = estimated wheels *direct labor per wheel  

40,000 *1hr = 40,000

Butchart Gardens is a very large garden in Victoria, British Columbia, renowned for its beautiful plants. It is so large that it
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

<h2>In this case,visit to the Butchart Garden is an excludable and non-rivalrous good and is an example of a Club Good.</h2>

Explanation:

First,since the Burchart Gardens charges an admission fee of $30 for each visitor,anyone who has not paid the fee cannot or will not be able to have access inside the garden.Therefore,it is currently not a free service for all the visitors.In this sense,a visit to the Butchart Garden is excludable.It can be assumed that any visitor who wishes to come inside the garden and have a visit will have to mandatorily pay the admission fee.

Secondly,as Butchart Garden is a public area and anyone who pays the admission fee can officially gain access to the garden,enjoyment of the natural and aesthetic beauty of the garden by any one visitor does not reduce the simultaneous enjoyment of any other visitor who has paid the admission fee and hence,gained access to the garden.In economic language,if we consider the garden visit as a particular commodity,then the consumption of the commodity by any one visitor or consumer does not reduce the simultaneous consumption of any other visitor/s or consumer/s,provided that they have all paid the admission fee to gain access to the commodity or garden in this case.Therefore,visits to the Butchart Garden can be considered as non-rivalrous.

Now,since the visit to the Butchart garden is both excludable and non-rivalrous in nature,it can be considered as an example of a Club Good.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Money Paid

Overall Sacrifice

Explanation:

The two major dimensions of pricing are Monetary and Non- Monetary pricing.

Monetary pricing is the liquid asset like cash that is spent to acquire goods and services while the non monetary are other costs apart from money like time , stress , distance that it costs to acquire an item .

The individual perception of pricing has a way of affecting its choice when it comes to purchasing.

Earl did not consider the cost of stress in travelling 30 miles in order to save a $1 in his purchase decision as his mindset is programmed to the price paid being the real price  while most other customers considers the sacrifice involved before making a purchase decision.
