Answer:

If such a merger happened between the two largest companies in the market, it will turn in to a "Monopoly".

Explanation:

A Monopoly is a condition where a single entity in the industry possess the exclusive control of the supply or trade in that industry. Monopoly is not considered to be beneficial to the customers as the Monopolistic organization holds a powerful grip of the market, specially when it comes to the quality of the product and the price. Customers have only a little to say about the quality or the price as they are primarily decided by the monopoly.

AT&T AND T-mobile both hold a significant market share in the telecommunications industry.

A merger of these top  two companies would mean that they will have the ultimate authority and power to decide on the data costs, call chargers and etc. This will probably eliminate the consumers' choice to chose better or suitable options as the rest of the other organizations operating in the industry are not as capable as these companies to cater quality services to the customers.

Apart from this, monopoly could arise in several ways such as,

  1. Having exclusive rights to access natural resource
  2. Patent rights
  3. Logistical advantages (if the extraction and the delivery of certain resources are too expensive, this may naturally lead to monopoly condition)
  4. Government interventions and regulations

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is 3.22 years, option (b) is 4.04 years and for option (c) is 0 years.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Cash inflow = $1,275

Project payback period = Initial cost ÷ Cash inflow

(a). Initial cost = $4,100

So, Project payback period = $4,100 ÷ $1,275

= 3.22 years

(b) Initial cost = $5,150

So, Project payback period = $5,150 ÷ $1,275

= 4.04 years

(c). Initial cost = $11,200

So, Project payback period = $11,200 ÷ $1,275

= 8.78 years

As it is more than the eight years period, it never pays back.

So, 0 years

Ber [7]

Answer:

What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020?

(460 x $33.30) + (230 x $29.60) + (276 x $18.50) = $27,232

What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020?

[(920 - 460) x $56.70] + [(690 - 230) x $50.40] + [(1,610 - 276) x $31.50] = $26,082 + $23,184 + $42,021 = $91,287

Explanation:

lump sum cost of chairs = $137,655

Type                     Chairs       Selling Price Each       Total

Lounge chairs       920                     $90                 $82,800

Armchairs              690                     $80                   $55,20

<u>Straight chairs      1,610                     $50                $80,500</u>

total                      3,220                                          $218,500

if we allocate costs based on resale, then each chair should cost:

Lounge chairs $90 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $56.70

Armchairs $80 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $50.40

Straight chairs $50 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $31.50

contribution margin per chair:

Lounge chairs $90 - $56.70 = $33.30

Armchairs $80 - $50.40 = $29.60

Straight chairs $50 - $31.50 = $18.50
