Answer:

ROA= 10%  TA = 2.000.000  

ROA=12%  TA         = 1.666.667

Reducction in assets    333.333

Explanation:

ROA=Net income/Average Total Assets

ROA = (net income / sales) x (sales / Total Assets)

ROA = Margin x Average total assets

10%=5%X(4000000/TA) 2,0 = 4000000/TA

12%=5%X(4000000/TA)  2,4 = 4000000/TA

ROA= 10%  TA = 2.000.000

ROA=12%  TA = 1.666.667

Answer:

B. The denial is justifiable given the level of interbrand competition.

Explanation:

Anti trust law only applicable if you can proof that two or more producers in the same industry work together in order to assert their control over the market. They can do this through price fixing, controlling the amount of supply, etc.

This condition<em> can't be found</em> in the scenario above.

The denial that done by PepsiCo is justifiable because in a really competitive market, a company need to impose a strict requirement on which entities they should form a dealership relation with. If PepsiCo choose the wrong dealers, Its competitors could easily taken over the market and resulted in a huge amount of loss for the company.

solong [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: reduce; not as highly valued as others.

Explanation:

All the economic systems must provide people with the goods and services that they want and need. But it is also necessary to limit them from getting as much as they wish.

This is because providing as many goods and services as they want may lead to a reduction in efficiency. Economic efficiency is achieved when resources are allocated in such a way that there is no wastage and resources are allocated to most valued use.

If the economic systems do not restrict the production of goods and services as much as they want it may lead to the production of those goods and services that are not as highly valued as others. This will cause wastage of resources, thus reducing the economic efficiency of the system.
