Answer:

Market price = $2, profit = $0

Product differentiation

Increase profit

Explanation:

The market price will be $2, since the two firms will compete against each other, then the ori e falls to the marginal cost of $2

Product differentiation refers to the distinction made in a market whereby mostly similar products are produced. The variation or distinction made by different producers is usually used to influence consumer decision. The inscription of iguana made on the chest of iz and odd's t-shirt brand is to differentiate its product from that of Ralph and Lauren.

The Economic reason which could have likely sparked iz and odd's decision to put Iguana on its t-shirt brand is to give consumers something a bit more different from their usual design, thereby enticing more customers and ultimately increase profit.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

customers' perceptions of products.

Explanation:

Positioning maps are also called perception maps they are visual representation used by marketers to show perception of customers or potential customers. Positioning is based mainly in customer perception and not in what the company feels will be the best for the customer.

For example a company may feel that their products are high quality and will target the upper class, but if customers perceive the product as low quality sales will be low.

Positioning maps also show where a business stands in relation to competitors in the market, and can be used to identify profitable alliances or partnerships.

The accounting scandals of the early 2000s led many people to question the legitimacy of: ratio analysis as a means of evaluatin
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<h2>The accounting scandals of the early 2000s</h2>

led many people to question the legitimacy of:

allowing an accounting firm to do both consulting and auditing work for the same company.

Explanation:

1) Enron and WorldCom fell from grace during the scandal.  And Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 was introduced to regulate the practise of auditing, which was before self-regulated.

2) People felt that accounting firms were getting so much revenue from consulting that they did not pay much attention to their auditing work.

3) They also felt that the consulting relationship was jeopardizing their responsibilities and commitments as independent auditors.

4) Since they were involved in consulting and offering management services, they paid a lip service to their main responsibilities and directly compromised their positions as verifiers of the truth and fairness in the presentation of financial statements.

5)  According to Paul Krugman of The New York Times,  “the Enron debacle is not just the story of a company that failed; it is the story of a system that  failed.  And the system didn’t fail through carelessness or laziness; it was corrupted.”  People felt that the corruption arose from the performance of these separate services by the same auditing personnel and firm.

the sale of a good by a foreign supplier in another country at a price below that charged by the supplier in its home market. b.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

a. The sale of a good by a foreign supplier in another country at a price below that charged by the supplier in its home market.

Explanation:

In some cases we find dumpers in the an economic environment. There main objective is drive out competitors since they cannot sell below normal selling price.

The sale of good by the foreign supplier in another country below the normal price would create a monopolistic situation as they will be able to control the price and quality of the product.

For example, 10KG of wheat are sold normally for $5 locally in Country A by a supplier firm and are sold the same amount in Country B.

Then the supplier firm from Country A exports to Country B and decides to sell its 10KG of wheat for $2 in the foreign country. This action is called dumping or price dumping.

Suppose a firm produces a PERISHABLE good: produces $10 million worth of final goods only sells $9 million worth $1 million wort
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

This does not violate the expenditure = output identity because this idenity says that goods-in-stock /unsold goods produced and ready for sale but not yet sold (inventory) are also a part of output, which if sold in the next accounting period, would still be calculated as sale in the current period, since it is the sale of output produced in the current year.
