Answer:

The correct answer is option I.

Explanation:

Market power refers to the situation when a firm can affect the price of its product. There is no market power in a perfectly competitive market.  

Market power generally arises from barriers to entry. There are four barriers to entry,

  • Resource ownership
  • Government regulation
  • Copyrights and patents
  • Startup cost

In the given example, patents and copyrights are an example of a barrier to entry.  

A firm that possesses patents or copyrights for a product, will be able to affect its price as the firms will not be able to produce that product.  

This gives market power to he firm holding patents or copyrights.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units to be produced (by quarters): 10,400, 12,400, 14,200, 16,600. Direct labor: Time is 1.7 hours per unit.

Variable overhead costs per direct labor hour:

indirect materials $0.80;

indirect labor $1.30;

maintenance $0.70.

Fixed overhead costs per quarter: supervisory salaries $36,580; depreciation $17,620; and maintenance $13,700.

Manufacturing overhead budget:

First-quarter: (10400 units)

Indirect materials= (0.80*1.7)*10400= $14144

Indirect labor=(1.3*1.7)*10400= 22984

Maintenance= (0.70*1.7)*10400= 12376

Total variable cost= 49504

Fixed costs:

supervisory salaries= $36,580

depreciation= $17,620

maintenance= $13,700.

Total fixed cost= $67900

Total first quarter= $117,404

Second-quarter: (12400 units)

Indirect materials= (0.80*1.7)*12400 = $16864

Indirect labor=(1.3*1.7)*12400 = 27404

Maintenance= (0.70*1.7)*12400 = 14756

Total variable cost= 59024

Fixed costs:

Total fixed cost= $67900

Total cost second quarter= 126,924

Third-quarter: (14200 units)

Indirect materials= (0.80*1.7)*14200 = $19312

Indirect labor=(1.3*1.7)*14200 = 31382

Maintenance= (0.70*1.7)*14200 = 16898

Total variable cost= 67592

Fixed costs:

Total fixed cost= $67900

Total cost third quarter= 135492

Fourth quarter: (16600 units)

Indirect materials= (0.80*1.7)*16600 = $22576

Indirect labor=(1.3*1.7)*16600 = 36686

Maintenance= (0.70*1.7)*16600 = 19754

Total variable cost= 79016

Fixed costs:

Total fixed cost= $67900

Total cost fourth quarter= 146916

Total cost of the year= 117,404 + 126,924 + 135,492 + 146,916= $526,736

What nominal return was received by an investor when inflation averaged 3.46% and the real rate of return was 2.5%
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Nominal rate of return= 0.0596 = 5.96%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Inflation averaged 3.46%

The real rate of return was 2.5%

<u>To calculate the nominal rate of return, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Real rate of return= nominal rate of return - inflation rate

Nominal rate of return= real rate of retunr + infaltion rate

Nominal rate of return= 0.0346 + 0.025

Nominal rate of return= 0.0596 = 5.96%
