Answer:
If the several companies in the tobacco industry produce similar products but have very different marginal costs: they are more likely to engage in tacit collusion than firms with similar costs.
Explanation:
Tacit collusion occurs when firms silently agree on a strategy that will benefit them both either by cutting cost or increasing patronage.
If the several companies in the tobacco industry produce similar products but have very different marginal costs, some firms might decide to collude tacitly by lowering their prices therefore controlling a larger potion of the addressable market.
The reason this action is taken silently is because express collusion will attract legal sanctions that will be supported by firms within the industry that did not collude.
2/ About two thirds of the discretionary spending is spent on defense.
A person who purchases his/her own policy can exclude the benefits from gross income. It's also good to note tat statutory limitations exist for the following amounts:
Benefits that have been collected under the employer's plan
Premiums that have been paid by the employer
benefits that have been collected from the individuals' policy. Therefore the amount Valentino may exclude will be calculated as follows;
Daily statutory amount in 2017 (360*45) $16200
Actual cost of care $13500 $16200
Less: Amount received from Medicare ($8000)
Equal amount of exclusion ($8200)
Thus:
Valentino must include (15000-8200)=$6800 of the long-term care benefits received in his gross income.
