Answer: More elastic; Lower
Explanation:
Before the entry of a new firm, there is only one firm exist in the market and that single firm is experiencing a monopoly power. But when there is a entry of its competitor then as a result second firm have to reduce their prices of the products as demand is elastic. We know that market is very sensitive to the prices. This fall in prices will lead to increase the demand for the products but with the lower prices, the marginal revenue of the second firm will be more elastic because of the lower prices.
A security with a beta of 1 has a return last year of 8% when the market has a return of 12%.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a market of the capitals, the return that a person will get from the security will depend upon the risk that has been associated with that security.

Answer:
intangible property
Explanation:
Intangible property can be defied as property that doesn't have any physical attributes that give them value. For example, a car is a tangible since you can drive it around, but a certificate of deposit is just a piece of paper (or even a computer code) and nothing else. The same applies to bonds and stocks, you know they are valuable but their value is not provided by their physical characteristics.
Other intangible property include patents, software, licenses, copyrights and trademarks. All of these can be extremely expensive, for example Microsoft is worth hundreds of billions and it sells digital ones and zeros.
Answer:
C) many times in the past several decades, firms may have chosen between a production method in the United States that uses fewer workers and more machines and a production method in China that uses more workers and fewer machines.
Explanation:
American manufacturing jobs have been constantly decreasing for a little more than two decades now. Most people like to blame China and other countries for that decline, since they state that american production moved overseas. That statement is only partially true, but for the most part is false. The vast majority of American manufacturing jobs have been lost to automation.
Apple used to build computers in California, and it started assembling them again a few years ago, but the factories were completely automated. Some jobs are created, specially those related to maintenance and programming, but they aren't very many. Most large factories use more robots and less humans, and the tendency will only increase in favor of the robots in the future.
